Fortnite x Daft Punk: Party Starts Sept. 27 — See Your Local Start Time & How to Join
Daft Punk is coming to Fortnite with a new in-game musical experience that walks players through a retro‑futuristic collection of rooms and plays songs from the duo’s catalog. The event includes 31 tracks, and the skins and accessories tied to the drop will appear in the item shop beforehand — so you can dress the part if you want to.
What time does the Fortnite Daft Punk event start?
The Daft Punk experience officially begins on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. EDT, and **doors open at 1:30 p.m. EDT**. This gives players a short window to arrive before the main show starts.
For convenience, here are the start times in several time zones so you can plan ahead:
- 11 a.m. PDT — West Coast North America
- 2 p.m. EDT — East Coast North America
- 3 p.m. BRT — Brazil
- 7 p.m. BST — United Kingdom
- 8 p.m. CEST — Western Europe
- 3 a.m. JST — Japan, Sunday, Sept. 28
- 4 a.m. AEST — East Coast Australia, Sunday, Sept. 28
How to join the Fortnite Daft Punk event
You can enter the Daft Punk experience two ways. First, head into a standard Battle Royale match and make your way to the monolith on top of the snowy mountain south of Foxy Floodgate. Alternatively, and more directly, select the “Daft Punk Experience” tile in the Discover tab to join a session that launches you straight into the event.
Because it’s not clear whether the monolith area will be a designated safe zone during the event, using the Discover tile avoids possible player interference and is the more straightforward option for most players. Either method will put you inside the retro‑futuristic realm where the tracks and rooms are waiting.
