Ariana Grande concert chronology

The Rift Tour was a virtual concert event by Ariana Grande, held on the video game Fortnite Battle Royale.[1][2][3][4][5] The show was played five times between August 6 and 8, 2021. Grande described the tour as "…an unforgettable, magical journey to new realities.”[1] During the tour, players were able to purchase a skin of Grande and other cosmetic features inspired by the event to play as her in-game.[2][6] Other artists, including Travis Scott and Marshmello previously held concerts in Fortnite as well,[7][8] but Grande's was the first to tie in to multiple aspects of the game.[2][4]
