In addition to the Fortnite Stage, fans of the game will be able to get hands-on in the ‘Free-Play Field.’ Located within the JB Hi-Fi Game On Zone, twenty consoles will be running Fortnite for the duration of the event.

For those who fancy themselves amazing dancers, there will also be all-ages dance competitions each day. This will give everyone a chance to get up on stage, bust their best Fortnite moves and win prizes.

Fortnite was last at Melbourne & Olympic Parks during the Australian Open for the Summer Smash which saw 12,000 esports fans attend across two days.
