Coachella collaborates with Fortnite for Coachella Island experience

Fortnite is collaborating with Coachella for another grand experience during the music festival.

Announced today, Fortnite players will be able to dive into Coachella Island, which will launch tomorrow (April 14) at 3 p.m. EST/12 p.m. PST. Created by Alliance Studios, this experience will allow players to relax to music from Coachella 2023 performer Porter Robinson while exploring the Art Park and completing quests. Taking on quests will earn players rewards such as sprays and a lobby track. Players can also earn a Coachella Island loading screen by completing a task from the Fortnite x Coachella website.

Outside of Fortnite Island, players can listen to selected Coachella performers from now until May 12 via Icon Radio. A slew of new Coachella outfits will be available in the shop as well.

Sam Schoonover, Innovation Lead for Coachella said this about the forthcoming experience:

“The future of in-game music and art experiences should not mimic the real-world, but reimagine the magic and make it more accessible via a new medium. We believe that the best way to do that is to enable and empower artists to show us the way. Just like the festival IRL is a stage for musicians, Coachella Island is now a canvas for gaming creators. Fortnite provides the tools needed to invite creators and fans to participate in this creative process.”

Coachella Island will be live in Discover until April 28 at 12 p.m. EST/9 a.m. PST. While the quests will also conclude on April 28, Coachella Island will still be available to explore with the island code 5449-4207-1280.
