Fortnite fans, get ready for an epic experience as Metallica gears up to rock the virtual stage in an in-game concert titled ‘Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury.’ brought to you by Epic Games. This immersive music event promises to be a mosh pit-worthy spectacle, and here’s how you can be part of the action.
The Metallica concert in Fortnite is scheduled to kick off on June 22 with three showings, followed by three more the next day. The timings for the event are as follows:
- Saturday, June 22:
11 AM PT / 2 PM ET
2 PM PT / 5 PM ET
8 PM PT / 11 PM ET - Sunday, June 23:
7 AM PT / 10 AM ET
11 AM PT / 2 PM ET
2 PM PT / 5 PM ET
To join the concert, simply log in to Fortnite during the specified times, locate the ‘Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury’ tile in the Discover screen of the game’s menu, and immerse yourself in the show. Additionally, there will be a 30-minute window post the scheduled times where you can still access the concert, and you can even invite up to three friends to join you for the experience.
The concert will showcase six of Metallica’s iconic songs from their extensive music catalog. Crafted by the studio Magnopus, known for their work in VR, AR, and the metaverse, this concert promises to be an audiovisual extravaganza. If you’ve enjoyed previous Fortnite concerts featuring artists like Travis Scott and Ariana Grande, you can expect nothing short of a spectacular show. Remember, the concert will not be available to play after the specified dates, so mark your calendars and make time for this unique event.
For Metallica and Fortnite enthusiasts, the band’s influence extends beyond the concert. In the latest season of Fortnite Festival, Metallica takes center stage. Additionally, in battle royale and Zero Build modes, players can find a new traversal item/weapon called the Ride The Lightning guitars. These guitars leave a trail for allies to ride on and offer an offensive smash effect upon landing, adding a new dynamic to gameplay.
