Coachella 2023 Announces ‘Fortnite’ Metaverse Activation
On April 13th the festival announced “Coachella Island,” a partnership with Fortnite that presents the festival in the metaverse. Coachella Island is inspired by the dreamy desert landscape , with digitally rendered mountains, polo fields, palm trees and day-to-night features. Inside this landscape, “attendees” can take part in dance competitions, tour the “grounds,” purchase in-game “merch” and more. The Island also features an “art park” and a gallery of related “photography and is built by Alliance Studios.
Coachella Island will be soundtracked by music from Porter Robinson who will be playing on both the Sundays at the mainstage. We are anticipating millions of fans to join Coachella Island.
