One of three brand new modes, Fortnite Festival is one part of Epic Games's plans to seemingly suck all of gaming into one ever-expanding ecosystem.
The full list of Fortnite Festival songs has been revealed, and you can play them right now.
Developed by Harmonix (of Rock Band fame), the Festival mode is essentially a full Rock Band experience set within Fortnite.
In it, you can play Jam Tracks – a number of officially licensed songs from well-known artists including The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Fall Out Boy and more.
The list of songs available to play for free rotates daily, but you can purchase Jam Tracks individually (500 V-Bucks) to play whenever you like – you can also use them as emotes in the battle royale mode – or earn them through the Festival Pass, which you purchase separately from the standard battle pass.
Now that’s all out of the way, it’s time for the full list of songs in Fortnite Festival.
As of December 2023, there are 34 Fortnite Festival songs. Epic Games has revealed the full set list, and the line-up of artists involved offers quite an eclectic mix of genres and songs to play through as Jam Tracks.
The full list of songs in Fortnite Festival is as follows:

As Fortnite Festival develops, expect more songs to be added into the game. Season 1 runs up until 22nd February 2024, so we’d imagine new Jam Tracks will be added when Season 2 begins, presumably on 22nd or 23rd February.
Epic Games is planning on having «hundreds» of songs in Fortnite Festival (thanks, Billboard!), so you can look forward to playing many more tracks soon.

The head of Harmonix, the studio behind Fortnite Festival, has confirmed that it plans to add "many hundreds" of free new songs to the mode every year.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 players have been patiently awaiting the game's first batch of DLC characters, with Mr Krabs, Zuko, Iroh, and Rocksteady already announced as the characters that will make up the first season pass. Fans were pretty disappointed about half of the new additions being characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender, but there is a lot of excitement surrounding the upcoming addition of Mr Krabs.
Fortnite's Festival is already set to corner the rhythm market by install base alone, introducing a Rock Band-like experience into Epic's ongoing everything game. In addition to LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing, it's clear that Epic's plans for total digital domination are close to coming to fruition.
You won’t find Rock Band Unplugged at the top of many Best PSP Games lists, but the Harmonix spin-off – released during the peak of plastic peripheral popularity – was one of the finest games you could find on Sony’s handheld during its pre-PS Vita renaissance circa-2009. A stripped-back version of the main console games, this portable reimagining saw you switching between instruments, completing “phrases” by rhythmically tapping buttons in time to the music.
Having officially entered our Fortnite Festival era, we're quite excited to see that the surreal pseudo-metaverse Epic has cooked up and is getting instrument controller support as soon as next month.
It may have been developed by Harmonix – now a subsidiary of Epic Games – but Fortnite Festival is not Rock Band 5. Let’s get that out of the way immediately, because I’ve certainly already seen claims to the contrary. In fact, Fortnite Festival has more in common with the boy band Five than Rock Band 5; that is, it’s a transparently commercial exercise that simply switches the question “What if the Spice Girls were blokes?” with “What else can we sell for V-Bucks?”
Fortnite is the surprise hit of the winter gaming season. Although the battle royale game has maintained popularity for several years, it’s now seeing yet another massive surge in interest. Last week, Epic Games released several new modes that bring entirely different kinds of games to Fortnite. Among the additions is a rhythm game called Fortnite Festival. In it, players can form bands with others while playing as Fortnite characters. Now, players are using it to create the most absurd bands possible and share clips online as characters like Goku, Peter Griffin, Kratos, and Gojo hit the stage.
Fortnite developer Epic Games has taken to social media to reassure fans that the newly added Lego, Rocket Racing, and Festival modes are not limited-time events, but will be sticking around for the foreseeable future.
Fortnite has been consistently supported with regular and meaty content updates for years at this point, but last week, Epic Games went above and beyond and released three entire games within the battle royale shooter in the form of LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. All three games have got off to great starts in terms of reception and player engagement, and according to Epic, they’re all here to stay.
Alphabet's Google on Monday will try to persuade a federal jury in San Francisco to reject antitrust claims by "Fortnite" maker Epic Games in a case that threatens Google's app store and transaction fees imposed on Android app developers.
To this day, I love getting together with my buddies and having a jam session in Rock Band 4. So when Epic Games announced Fortnite Festival, I was hyped. But upon finding out there wasn’t support for our plastic guitars and drums, not so much.
At the top of the month, developer Epic Games launched Chapter 5 of Fortnite's popular Battle Royale mode. But with the start of this new chapter, the team also launched three new experiences within the Fortnite launcher. The first was Lego Fortnite, a survival Minecraft-like game, and soon after, the second, Rocket Racing, a new racing mode created by Rocket League developers Psyonix, went live. The third and final new experience of Chapter 5 (so far, at least) went live over the weekend – it's called Fortnite Festival and is basically Rock Band-lite but in the universe of Fortnite.
