On February 2, 2019, a virtual concert starring American DJ Marshmello was held inside of Fortnite Battle Royale.

The concert, officially referred to as the "Party at Pleasant Park", consisted of eight songs from Marshmello's discography and was performed at the aforementioned in-game location.

While Epic Games didn't make any official announcement on that day, the location was updated with an under-construction concert stage.
