PartyNextDoor to headline interactive concert experience in Fortnite
PartyNextDoor is set to launch a new immersive concert experience inside Fortnite, marking his debut collaboration with the popular online gaming platform. The interactive event, developed with Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Immersive Music Studios, and OVO Sound — Drake's label — will premiere on August 1 at 1 p.m. EST. The event takes place on a custom-designed island tailored to PartyNextDoor's creative vision. According to Sony's announcement, the experience begins at the top of Toronto's CN Tower, before transporting players via private jet to a stylized South Beach setting. The virtual journey culminates in a recreated version of LIV at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, where an exclusive after-party will take place. Players can engage in various interactive elements, including scavenger hunts, mini-games, and parkour challenges throughout the experience. Gamers can access the custom island using the Fortnite Island Code: 7024-5026-8823. PartyNextDoor's avatar will perform dynamic renditions of several hits, including 'Break from Toronto,' which will also be released as a Jam Track in the Fortnite Shop. Additional featured songs include 'M a k e I t T o T h e M o r n i n g' and 'Somebody Loves Me.' 'When the opportunity to create our own world came up, it was a natural fit,' PartyNextDoor said in a statement on Thursday, noting his enthusiasm as a longtime Fortnite fan. PartyNextDoor, the first artist signed to OVO Sound, has collaborated with major artists like Drake, Rihanna, and DJ Khaled. His songwriting credits include chart-topping hits like 'Work' and 'Wild Thoughts.' He's currently on tour in Europe following the release of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with Drake, which recently topped both the Billboard 200 and Apple Music charts. The Fortnite event continues Epic Games' tradition of music-driven experiences, following similar performances by Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Marshmello.

PARTYNEXTDOOR joins Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 concert line-up
The Canadian hitmaker will perform in Jeddah on Saturday, 19 April. Saudi Arabia, start your engines because the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 is racing into town. One of the highlights is the after-race concerts, which include a star-studded lineup. Previous events welcomed A-listers, from A$AP Rocky and Alicia Keys to Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott, and this year's shows are set to be just as exciting. Brace yourselves because PARTYNEXTDOOR will be headlining the event in Jeddah. Hailing from Ontario, Canada, PARTYNEXTDOOR was the first artist ever signed to Drake's OVO Sound label, a pivotal move that positioned him at the forefront of the alt-R&B wave in the early 2010s. His self-titled debut mixtape, PARTYNEXTDOOR (2013), was a moody, genre-blending release known for the tracks 'Break from Toronto' and 'Make a Mil', laying the groundwork for the now-familiar OVO sound. He followed it up with a string of acclaimed projects, including PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO (2014) and PARTYNEXTDOOR 3 (2016), featuring hits like 'Recognize' with Drake and 'Come and See Me', which earned a Grammy nomination. Beyond his solo success, PARTYNEXTDOOR's songwriting credits read like a who's who of modern pop and R&B, penning chart-toppers like Rihanna's 'Work', DJ Khaled's 'Wild Thoughts' and Drake's 'Preach'. In February 2025, PARTYNEXTDOOR reunited with his longtime collaborator Drake for the surprise joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. The project is a genre-defying showcase of smooth, late-night R&B infused with hip-hop swagger. Standout tracks include 'Gimme a Hug,' in which Drake delivers veiled bars aimed at Kendrick Lamar, and the fan-favourite 'Nokia,' a playful, synth-heavy jam with infectious energy.
