Fortnite is set to conclude its current chapter with a groundbreaking live concert, Remix: The Finale, celebrating the life and music of the late rapper Juice WRLD. The virtual event begins today at 2 PM ET, and fans are encouraged to log in early to ensure their spot. This unique tribute includes a lineup of performances from Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and a special posthumous premiere of Juice WRLD’s latest track, “Empty Out Your Pockets.”
Juice WRLD, born Jarad Higgins, tragically passed away in 2019 at the age of 21, leaving behind a legacy of music that continues to resonate with fans worldwide. Epic Games has honored the rapper with an exclusive in-game skin and themed items that debuted earlier this month, further cementing his connection to the Fortnite community.
Juice WRLD’s mother, Carmela Wallace, shared her thoughts on the collaboration, highlighting her son’s love for Fortnite. “Jarad always loved to play Fortnite — it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others. From a young age, video games were a part of how he bonded with friends and family, and being in Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection,” she said.
The event not only celebrates Juice WRLD’s legacy but also serves as a platform for other artists. Snoop Dogg will debut a new single, “Another Part of Me,” featuring Sting, alongside other performances from Eminem and Ice Spice. The concert is designed to bridge music and gaming, a sentiment echoed by Wallace, who said, “I know he would be overjoyed to see how his love for games continues to bring people together across different spaces, just like his music does.”
Epic Games has confirmed that an encore performance will take place later today for those who may miss the initial broadcast. This approach ensures that fans from around the world can participate in this virtual celebration of music, gaming, and community.
With Fortnite’s history of hosting innovative events featuring global artists, this tribute to Juice WRLD stands out as a heartfelt homage to the rapper and his influence in both the music and gaming worlds. Fans can expect a deeply immersive experience that unites two creative realms Juice WRLD loved.
