The landscape of music gaming changed significantly when Epic Games dropped the rhythm mode Fortnite Festival. Leveraging the massive player base of Fortnite, this new mode brought the spirit of classic rhythm games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero directly into the Fortnite ecosystem.
The appeal, beyond the familiar gameplay mechanics, is undoubtedly the growing and diverse library of Fortnite Festival Songs known as Jam Tracks.
But with new songs arriving constantly via the Item Shop and seasonal Festival Passes, keeping track of every single Jam Track released can feel like an Olympic sport.
Whether you're a completionist aiming to own every Jam Track or just curious about the breadth of music available, we've compiled the ultimate, comprehensive list of all the songs released so far, updated for the current season.
What are Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks?
Jam Tracks are the core of the Fortnite Festival experience. They are musical tracks that players can perform in the main Festival stage mode or use as loops in the Jam Stage mode.
Jam Tracks are essentially the songs you play. They feature note charts for four different instruments: Lead Guitar/Main, Drums, Vocals, and Bass. Each track can be acquired in one of three ways:
- Item Shop: The most common way to get a Jam Track is to purchase it directly from the Item Shop using V-Bucks.
- Festival Pass: Each season of Fortnite Festival features a Festival Pass with a free and premium reward track. These often include new Jam Tracks, with the headliner artist's track usually being the final reward of the premium track.
- Free Tracks: A small selection of Epic Games' original tracks are available for all players for free from the start.
This dynamic system means the library is constantly expanding, incorporating everything from classic rock anthems to modern pop hits and hip hop bangers.
How to Unlock New Fortnite Festival Songs?
You can unlock new Fortnite Festival Songs (known as Jam Tracks) primarily through two methods: purchasing them directly from the Item Shop using V-Bucks, or earning them by progressing through the current Festival Pass.
- Item Shop Purchases: This is the most common way. New and rotating Jam Tracks appear in the Item Shop daily and can be bought for V-Bucks. Prices for Jam Tracks are typically around 500 V-Bucks each.
- Festival Pass: Every Fortnite Festival season introduces a new Festival Pass with both a free reward track and a premium (paid) track. Several new Jam Tracks, often including the season's headliner artist, are included as unlockable rewards as you earn Festival Points and level up the Pass.
A small selection of Epic Games Original Jam Tracks are also available to all players for free from the start.
Which Songs Were Available at Launch?
The launch of Fortnite Festival on December 9, 2023, came with a strong initial lineup to set the stage for the rhythm game experience.

How Often Are New Jam Tracks Released?
New Jam Tracks are typically released daily in the Item Shop rotation, but the most anticipated bundles are tied to the start of a new season.
Epic Games generally follows a predictable release cadence:
- Daily Item Shop Rotation: 4-8 Jam Tracks rotate daily in the shop, including both new releases and returning classics.
- Seasonal Festival Pass: Every new season, a new Festival Pass drops with around 8-10 licensed Jam Tracks, anchored by the season's featured artist (e.g., The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Metallica). These tracks are permanently added to your library upon unlocking them in the Pass.
- Themed Bundles/Special Releases: Sometimes, Epic releases bundles of tracks, such as the Nine Inch Nails double pack or tracks related to in-game events like Winterfest.
This aggressive release schedule ensures that there is always something new to learn and master, keeping the experience fresh for dedicated players. It's a great strategy to keep players engaged and returning to the Item Shop.
