Popular hip hop magazine The FADER has announced its website will be hosting a nine hour broadcast of Fader Fort, a showcase that is usually held at SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. Due to the cancellation of the festival this year, FADER has decided to change the format of the concert, and hold a digital stream of the usually invite-only event that will take place on Tuesday, March 31st, from 10 AM – 7 PM EST. Head to Digital Fort for all of the content.
While the line up of Fader Fort has not yet been announced, over forty artists are expected to be apart of the show. Both establish artists and rising up and comers are expected to be part of the Fader Fort lineup. Furthermore, fans will have the opportunity during the show to donate money for various charities that focus on helping the city and people of Austin, as well as musicians and the entertainment industry on the whole during this global crisis.
Fans can expect artists to provide more than just musical performances; Kesha will hold a remire for the first cut of the intro of her “My Crazy Beautiful Life” documentary, Guapdad 4000 will give fans a cooking demo as Gordon Scamsey in a “Cooking with Flava” segment, G Herbo plans to hold a segment showing a behind-the-scenes look into his tour, as well as many more special segments such as these.
UPDATE (3/31): The Fader has announced that its Digital Fader Fort Live Stream will now be a two-day affair. Check out below for the full schedule for each day.
In previous years, Fader Fort has hosted the likes of Drake, Cardi B, Kanye West, Diddy, Lil’ Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, and other notable acts in surprise performances, often before they became household names. The full lineup is expected to be announced on March 30th.
