Sabrina Carpenter has been announced as the latest star to headline the £6.99 Fortnite Festival 8 from April 8 to June 17.
The virtual festival has previously welcomed The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Metallica, Snoop Dogg, Karol G and Travis Scott as headliners.
The singer, 25, posted the exciting news on her Instagram on Wednesday as she shared a photo of her avatar.
She captioned the post: ‘My Fortnite festival season is officially live’, before posting her character adding: ‘Me if you even care’.
She told Rolling Stone: ‘My avatar is for sure height appropriate, as Fortnite characters are all around six foot three, which is actually how tall I am in real life too.’
Fortnite debuted its Fortnite Festival game back in 2023, which allows users to ‘play’ the music for certain songs similar to earlier video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

The Weeknd and Madonna were featured artists on the Fortnite Festival game last year.
It comes after Sabrina once again come under fire for her raunchy on stage perfomance after ‘simulating lesbian sex’ amid her Short n’ Sweet Tour in Stockholm.
She has been acting out different sex positions while performing racy hit Juno at her concerts while throwing her legs in the air and thrusting her hips.
In the sexually charged track she sings about being so infatuated by someone that she wants them to get her pregnant.
Now, in a new clip Sabrina unveiled a ‘Juno position for the lesbians’ as she kneeled down on stage and seemingly simulated oral sex.
One person shared the clip to X writing: ‘Grammy Award winning Sabrina Carpenter is under fire after performing a “new Juno position for the lesbians” during her Stockholm Short n Sweet tour that appears to be an imitation of oral fortification’.
Fans were quick to comment, slamming the singer and branding her behaviour ‘inappropriate’ and ‘desperate for attention’.
They wrote: ‘Little kids go to your shows, you are so not a role model’: ‘She could do way better than that, she’s got the talent, man!’

‘This gal is desperate for attention. It’s kinda sad’: ‘That is really disgusting from her’: ‘She’s doing everything to try and ‘top’ Taylor Swift’: ‘I will never know why they do stuff like that. Tacky as hell’.
Sabrina added another new explicit dance move to her repertoire during her concert in Paris while performing Juno.
Since kicking off her tour on June 20, the hitmaker has surprised crowds by acting out different sex positions while singing the line: ‘Have you ever tried this one?’
Last year, Carpenter defended herself after facing backlash over her sexualized costumes and concert choreography.
‘You’ll still get the occasional mother that has a strong opinion on how you should be dressing,’ she told Time. ‘And to that I just say, don’t come to the show and that’s OK.’
She continued: ‘It’s unfortunate that it’s ever been something to criticize, because truthfully, the scariest thing in the world is getting up on a stage in front of that many people and having to perform as if it’s nothing. If the one thing that helps you do that is the way you feel comfortable dressing, then that’s what you’ve got to do.’
