Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury. Concert In Fortnite – Schedule, Participation & More
The last proper in-game concert in Fortnite was quite some time ago. In August 2021, Ariana Grande performed in Battle Royale mode with her Rift Tour. Although later on, some other musicians like Eminem or Kid Laroi gave a kind of mini-concert, it wasn't in the form and scale of the upcoming Metallica event.
The event is titled Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury and will take place on a Creative Map at six times over two days. Here's the exact schedule:
Saturday, June 22, 2024
- 2 PM ET
- 5 PM ET
- 11 PM ET
Sunday, June 23, 2024
- 10 AM ET
- 2 PM ET
- 5 PM ET
The experience will be displayed on Fortnite's Discover screen for thirty minutes at the specified times. Even if you join later, you can still experience the full show. Choose the time that suits you best to enjoy it with a group of up to four people.
Players can gather in a relaxed environment without the usual combat atmosphere of Battle Royale battles and enjoy the show. Metallica is expected to perform some of their biggest hits like Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman, and Master of Puppets, making this event a must-see for music and gaming fans.
If you want to dress appropriately for the event as James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo, or Lars Ulrich, you can purchase Puppet Master styles in the Item Shop starting today. Otherwise, unlock their normal styles through the premium reward path in the Festival Pass. You can find a detailed guide on how to do this here.
Otherwise, we wish you a lot of fun at the event!
