This week, Epic shared exciting music news about Grammy-nominated R&B duo Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak (a.k.a Silk Sonic). In partnership with Atlantic Records, Fortnite is bringing Silk Sonic into the game with a brand new radio station, Outfits based on their signature style, and a player tournament.

The Silk Sonic duo are long time Fortnite favorites – in September 2020, Anderson .Paak performed a ‘Spotlight Concert Series’ in the game, and in April 2021, Bruno Mars’ ‘Leave The Door Open’ emote came to Fortnite.

Listen to the New Fortnite Radio Station, ‘Icon Radio’ – live now!

• Players can turn on ‘Icon radio’ inside cars and listen to tracks from ‘An Evening with Silk Sonic’ – with one and only Bootsy Collins as the radio host
• The launch of ‘Icon Radio’ is an exciting new way Fortnite is bringing the latest music to its millions of players
