The future of events is uncertain. 'Fortnite' is forging ahead anyway.

The Los Angeles studio in which Pike and others will perform -- which will follow pandemic-related health precautions -- is an "XR," or "extended reality," set, which can create real-time graphics for a virtual environment cast on LED screens. So instead of the Zoom-from-home quality DJ sets that Party Royale hosted in the past, the Spotlight-produced events can feel more like a live production, using video assets from a concert tour or music video.
