How to use Festival Jam Tracks as Lobby Music in Fortnite

Fortnite’s new update may have brought Metallica into the popular battle royale game, but the collab with the famous metal band is not the only change that has come. It is also giving players the chance to use their Jam Tracks as Lobby Music.

First introduced in December 2023, Jam Tracks were songs that people could take into the Festival game mode, where they could perform the music with their friends or alone in their own virtual concert.

However, these tracks have now been implemented into the Lobby Music for matches in Fortnite, and we have the rundown of how you can select your favorite Jam Tracks to play while you load in.

The first thing you will need to do is to go into your Locker in the Fortnite main menu and select the Lobby option.

On this screen, you will see three options that you can customize: Banner, Lobby Music, and Loading Screen; you will want to select the Lobby Music option.

Here, you will see the various Jam Tracks that you have unlocked available to select. Simply choose which one you want to listen to; you will know that it’s selected by the yellow highlight around it.

You can then back out and hear the song playing. You can also click on the three dots of the Lobby Music tile to choose to randomize which song will play when loading up into a Lobby.

You can also look below to save your Banner, Lobby Music, and Loading Screen selections as a Preset to load whenever you want to use the combination.

That’s all there is to using one of Fortnite’s newest changes, but there is so much to learn about like how to get the Ride the Lightning guitar Mythic, every Metallica skin you can unlock, and where you can find the new Metallica Loot Island.
