Fortnite Cosmic Summer Event details

While there was no live event at 9 a.m. on June 22nd, that was the official start of the Fortnite Cosmic Summer event. The changes to Believer Beach were not for a live concert, as many players speculated, but rather just for the Fortnite Cosmic Summer event. What many believed to be the setup for a concert is just regular in-game changes to a POI.
