Fortnite Kaskade event: Start time, date, location and Houseparty

It's time to watch the Fortnite Kaskade event. The latest pop culture event in the Fortnite world brings things back to where the fun happened all summer long. So, if you weren't keen to watch the Fortnite short film festival, we bet you're ready to rock out virtually with DJ Kaskade. 

Oh, and to amp it up another degree? It's going to be set in the world of Rocket League — inside of Fortnite. And you don't actually need Fortnite to watch this event. It's also going to be available in the Houseparty app too. Full instructions for how to watch both ways, below!

Kaskade will be performing his new Reset EP in Party Royale, and afterwards we will get the Rocket League season 3 trailer.
