Details of the next Fortnite live event including date and theme
Star Wars fans are in for a treat in the next Fortnite live event. The Death Star is in trouble as the upcoming gaming event will give users the opportunity to blast it out of the sky.
Gaming fans have loved Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2, with its many loved features, including Outlaw Keycards changing how players get involved with rounds of its Battle Royale mode and the Sabrina Carpenter Music Pass delivering a huge swathe of Sabrinas on the island. But a big change is on its way from a galaxy far, far away.
A new Star Wars mini-season is on its way and is set to deliver a heap of new cosmetics, items and POIs to the island, bringing back a whole host of characters in an exciting development that Epic Games seems to be looking forward to rolling out.
It's the ideal time to be a fan of both Fortnite and Star Wars, as the new season seeks to upend the experience gamers have had so far.
But when exactly can we expect the next live event in the game? Will it come to introduce the new season, or will it save its spoils for its grand finale? Here's what you need to know about the next Fortnite live event.
When is the next Fortnite live event?
The next Fortnite live event is expected to take place just before the end of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, on Saturday, June 7, reports the Mirror.
This has been revealed by the official Fortnite Twitter account, who posted that a 'live end of season narrative event' will cap off Chapter 6 Season 3, which comes after a Chapter 6 Season 2 without a live event.
The game's appearance on the Star Wars blog revealed that the event, titled "Death Star Sabotage," will come on this date after a number of other game changes throughout the season.
The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 length, which revealed an expected Season end date of Sunday, June 8, is expected to match up nicely with the end-of-season live event structure, so the next Fortnite live event will arrive at the end of the Galactic Battle season.
And gamers are no doubt looking forward to this exciting development within Fortnite.
Whenever Fortnite chooses to end a Season or Chapter with a live event, it's usually pretty spectacular.
So it's no doubt that for Star Wars fans, the next Fortnite live event is going to be well worth waiting for.
If you fancy blasting the Death Star out of the sky, you won't be the only one- so remember to put this upcoming live event in your calendar.

Coleen Rooney's mercy mission to meet Ukrainian child victims of Putin's war
Devoted Coleen has told how her four boys inspired her to meet with displaced families suffering because of the years-long Russian invasion Coleen Rooney today revealed she thought of her children as she made a mercy dash to meet bombed-out kids left devastated by Vladmir Putin 's bloodthirsty war in Ukraine. The devoted mum, 39, told how she was inspired by her four boys - Kai, 15, Klay, 12, Kit, nine, and Cass, seven - as she jetted into Poland to meet families who fled their homes as the conflict erupted. And the former I'm A Celebrity... star, 39, revealed she thought of her adopted sister, Rosie, who died aged 14 in 2013 after a lifelong battle with Rett syndrome, as she met disabled refugee kids. The war in Ukraine has displaced families at a scale and speed not seen since World War Two. Almost nine million people have fled into Poland since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 2022. And during a trip to a UNICEF Educational Rehabilitation School, Coleen met fitness coach Kateryna and her seven-year-old son, Murat, who has learning difficulties and is unable to speak. They fled Nikolayev - the frontline of Volodymyr Zelenskyy defense against Putin's brutal regime - and made a two-day bus trip of nearly 700 miles to find safety in Krakow. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror about her encounter with stricken mothers forced from their homes, Coleen said: "As a mum, your first thought was what would you do? What goes through your mind is just to protect the children and make sure that they are OK. And that's exactly what these mum's were doing, they got out of Ukraine. "I spoke to one lovely mum, Kateryna, who said a tank blew up outside her house. They had their son behind double walls in the house so that if anything hit the house, they were protected by the outer wall." "She showed me videos of what was happening and that resonates with you, because of that protective instinct." She added: "I can relate to being a mum and the first thing in that situation is to get out of danger, to just make sure the kids are OK. But I couldn't imagine what was going through their heads, the emotions." Almost 1.6 million refugees are in Poland and around 90 per cent of them are women and children. Exclusive footage given to the Mirror shows children swarming over Coleen as she met children at a UNICEF centre catering for disabled youngsters. And today Coleen, who tied the knot with football legend Wayne Rooney, 39, in 2008, told how the trip evoked memories of her beloved younger sister, Rosie. Coleen said: "One of the schools was for children with disabilities. And I grew up in that environment, my sister went to a school like that. "It was just like where they were, with music therapy, physiotherapy and all those things for the sensors. I felt so comfortable, it wasn't a shock. That was probably the easiest visit of my time in Poland." "Because I've experienced that and I felt comfortable there." Coleen also visited a Spilno Hub, in Krakow, which supports families who've fled the war, providing psycho-social support to help them deal with the horrors of war. She met Yuliia, her sister Olisia and Yuliia's daughter Anastasiia – known as Nastia, aged four. They have been in Krakow for three years, travelling from Kryvvi Rih on an evacuation train carrying just a backpack each. As they fled they turned their phones off to help them go undetected by missiles. Now Coleen has told how the trip helped "open her eyes" to the reality of war and the devastating impact it has. Coleen said: "I wouldn't say it's affected me, but it's given me a big insight into what's going on around the world and the aftermath. You know, you think it is over, it's not. These people have been hit with trauma and it's hard for them to move on. "They're doing what they can but it could affect them for their entire lives. That's what struck me, we see things on the news, but we don't think that much into it." "It was a real eye opener to see the disruption to people's lives." She added: "It's quite a humbling thing to see. "But I think the great thing is that despite the tragedies there are people that are willing to go above and beyond for people out there." But despite the harrowing trauma suffered by children during the conflict, Coleen said the mental care they were receiving was paying dividends. She added: "There was one place we visited and what really stuck with me was, they showed me all the artwork the children had done when they had initially arrived from Ukraine. "There were lots of dark colours and it was really quite moody and it was quite upsetting to see. But after being there for a while they clearly lifted and the artwork was full of lots of colour. The children have been receiving therapy and it shows that it really works." Coleen visited Krakow with UNICEF to see how donations to the Soccer Aid charity game support refugee children. Husband and ex-Man United and England legend Wayne is taking on a player-manager role alongside the likes of comedian Paddy McGuinness, Olympic hero Sir Mo Farah and One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. Coleen said: "Soccer Aid is a big part of our family, it's been a yearly thing in the calendar for the last, I don't know how many years. And my boys love attending and Wayne obviously is involved so we're looking forward to seeing him. And then my youngest Cass is going to be one of the mascots, so it's a real family affair." Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2025 will take place on Sunday June 15 at Old Trafford, and will be shown live exclusively on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.

Noughties playboy who dated Katie Price and married Jodie Marsh unrecognisable now
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Matt Peacock, the noughties playboy known for dating Katie Price and marrying Jodie Marsh, is barely recognisable these days. The former heartthrob, who was a fixture in the tabloids two decades ago, has traded his glamorous lifestyle for a quieter family life. Now 42, Matt has undergone quite the transformation, swapping his signature bleach blonde locks for a more natural brunette look. He's still modelling, but his life off-camera is centred around his wife Rachael, whom he married in 2016, and their daughter Lily, born in 2018. A glance at Matt's Instagram reveals a mix of fitness shots, shirtless poses, and sweet family photos featuring his daughter and their two dogs. Despite stepping away from the limelight, Matt and Rachael maintain connections with their celebrity friends.

He even posted pictures from Ryan's 40th birthday celebrations last June. Matt's modelling career kicked off when he signed with Boss Model Management, landing several high-profile campaigns, reports the Mirror. He's currently represented by Model Team. Matt and Katie Price began dating shortly after she welcomed her first son Harvey with ex Dwight Yorke in 2002. (Image: Phil Harris) (Image: @mattpeacock27/Instagram) The then 24 year old star was spotted by 18 year old Matt at a car show where she was striking poses as a model. The two soon entered into a whirlwind romance and even did a joint interview for a high-profile magazine. However, their relationship was fleeting, lasting merely two months before coming to an end following a significant dispute. According to friends, Matt found it tough to cope with the limelight during their time together. Matt's subsequent entanglement was his marriage to Katie's rival Jodie Marsh, tying the knot on the reality TV spectacle Totally Jodie Marsh: Who'll Take Jodie Marsh Up The Aisle? in 2007. Their wedding took place amidst the buzz of Brentwood's Sugar Hut nightclub, but the union was short-lived, with Matt confessing later that Jodie seemed more interested in his past liaison with Katie rather than him. Matt later found himself with glamour model Rhian Sugden, their romance spanning a year before they called it quits. Rhian later made headlines again due to a text message scandal involving TV star Vernon Kay in 2010. Come 2020, Matt shared his personal fears about potentially losing his career because of hair loss. Speaking to The Manchester Evening News, he confessed: "Losing my hair had been knocking my confidence for a few years and it was really affecting my day-to-day life. "I felt so much pressure to look good and keep the modelling jobs coming in to pay my bills and keep a roof over my family's head. Social media can be a big problem too, with such an expectation of perfection. We live in such an image-obsessed world. I went for a hair transplant and it has truly changed my life."

POLL: Was Meghan right to share twerking video?
Meghan Markle's twerking-in-labour video has everyone talking - from royal fans to possibly even King Charles himself. Was it a fun, unfiltered mum moment or a royally awkward overshare? Let us know! To celebrate Princess Lilibet's 4th birthday, Meghan posted a video that caught pretty much everyone off guard. It showed her, heavily pregnant, in a hospital room with Prince Harry, dancing and twerking to the song Baby Momma by Starrkeisha. Whether you found it hilarious, relatable, or a bit odd, it definitely got people talking. Some fans loved seeing this personal, human moment - but others weren't so keen. Royal commentator Jennie Bond called it 'utterly bizarre' and says King Charles would've been 'horrified' by it. But what do you think? Was Meghan just enjoying the moment and sharing a joyful memory? Or did she cross a line by going so public with something so private - and what is clearly a little unconventional for a duchess? Scroll down to take our poll. Meghan shared the clip saying: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!" Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond was left flabbergasted, telling the Mirror: "The hours before you give birth are some of the most personal, intimate and private in the lives of any couple. "And women are perfectly entitled to do whatever they feel like to get through the waiting, and the pain. Giving birth is a serious business, and anything to lighten the mood is welcome. "However - to share those scenes with the world is utterly bizarre and, in my view, takes away all the magic of the moment. I cannot imagine why she chose to release it. Maybe show it one day to your nearest and dearest— but to anyone and everyone who wants to click on it? Was Meghan right to share twerking video? Take our poll below. If you can't see it, click here "I can hear the voice of the late Queen's former private secretary, Lord Charteris, repeating the comments he once made about Fergie: 'Vulgar, vulgar, vulgar'. "If the King has watched it, which I doubt, though he can't have missed the headlines I'm sure he would be horrified. Royalty has to carry with it some measure of dignity." Since sharing the clip many have questioned why she posted it, given the couple's supposed desire for privacy. And Jennie added: "I'm glad they were so happy before the birth, I'm glad Harry was there to support his wife in every way, I'm delighted to hear that he's such a great dad. But they really can't have it both ways. "They can't demand privacy and be so coy about sharing images of their children and then show us all these intensely intimate scenes. And she cannot expect to be treated as if she's royal whilst behaving like a click-hungry social media influencer. "Having said all that, there's no doubt that videos like this connect in a very real way to young people. And perhaps that's what Meghan is trying to do. My own daughter thought the video humanised both Meghan and Harry and was light-hearted and hugely relatable. It reminded her of her own pregnancies and labour and she thought it was rather charming. In many ways, I agree with her. I just don't think it sits happily with trying to cling to the vestiges of being 'royal'." Get Royal Family updates straight to your WhatsApp!
