Metallica Will Perform In The Fortnite Festival With More Content

Fortnite is getting an injection of metal soon as Metallica will be coming to the Fortnite Festival, along with other content for the game.

Metallica has decided to take over Fortnite for a short period of time, as they will appear in the Fortnite Festival for a virtual concert and more. Aside from performing for two days across June 22-23, the band will be featured in Battle Royale. You can play as all four members with skins from the shop, and they'll even be dropping into LEGO Fortnite. Which is a sentence I never expected to write. We have more details below from the latest blog.

Experience Metallica's music like never before in Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury. This journey through six of Metallica's fan-favorite songs features gameplay that matches the intensity. The Master of Puppets awaits… Dominated by the anticipation? Made by Magnopus, "Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury." will have six different showtimes across two days:

• SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 2024: 2 PM ET, 5 PM ET, 11 PM ET

The experience will be in Fortnite's Discover screen for thirty minutes each showtime, so even if you jump in later than the start, you can be part of the full show. Choose a time that works best with a party of up to four! Just catch one of the shows so you can finally sleep with both eyes closed.

James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert. These four are the Icons of Fortnite Festival Season 4! But they're not just here to perform — they're here to battle.

Just by purchasing the Premium Reward Track, you'll unlock the Lars Ulrich Outfit. Fortnite Festival Season 4 goes live June 13 when v30.10 releases.
