A statement announcing Travis's "other-worldly" in-game Astronomical shows, reads: "From April 23-25, blast off into a one of a kind musical journey featuring Travis Scott and the world premiere of a brand-new track. Astronomical is an other-worldly experience inspired by Cactus Jack’s (his record label) creations, built from the ground up in Fortnite."
Revealing the timing of the new shows, the announcement on the Fortnite website adds: "To make sure everyone has a chance to experience Astronomical, we’re setting up multiple tour dates with showtimes for players around the globe.

Gamers who attend the shows will also receive Travis-themed in-game gifts and rewards for attending and completing challenges.
