During the livestream, Travis Scott also premiered a new single with Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi titled “THE SCOTTS.” Dot Da Genius, Plain Pat, and Take A Daytrip are credited as producers on the track.

“THE SCOTTS” collaboration follows Travis’ #1 Hot 100 hit “Highest in the Room” which was released in 2019. A remixed version lives on the JackBoys compilation. Earlier this month, Kid Cudi dropped his solo record “Leader Of The Delinquents.”

In what is being described as a “musical journey” by Epic Games, Astronomical is booked to take place on multiple dates. Fortnite players from around the world can catch the virtual performance by entering the game 30 minutes before the concert is scheduled to begin.
