At Coachella Music Festival Live, every note we stream is pure Coachella — live performances only, captured from the desert stages that have defined generations of music lovers. But now, the Coachella experience is expanding beyond the Indio Valley and into the digital universe. This week, we’re diving into one of the most creative and interactive collaborations yet: Coachella in Fortnite — an immersive festival-inspired world where players can jam, explore, and perform across new music-driven Islands that feel like a digital version of being front row under the palm trees.
🎶 Step Into the Coachella Pillars
Fortnite Creative’s newest Island, Coachella Pillars, takes the magic of the festival and reimagines it inside the game’s virtual world. Once you drop in, you’re surrounded by color, rhythm, and the unmistakable creative energy of Coachella itself. Players can ascend to the Coachella Canvas, a sprawling arena with three rotating stages inspired by the festival’s real-life vibe — think massive art installations, glowing lights, and landscapes pulsing in time with the music.
Armed with 30+ custom music-themed items, players can interact with rhythm-based challenges, instruments, and effects that sync to their gameplay. Each arena feels like its own set at the Empire Polo Club, offering a chance to take the stage and perform like you’re one of the headliners yourself. Whether you’re jamming solo or vibing with friends, Coachella Pillars is a fusion of rhythm, movement, and visual art that channels everything the festival stands for — creativity, energy, and the power of music to connect people.
🎧 Jam Tracks and Emotes Straight from Coachella Artists
Fortnite’s Festival and Battle Royale modes are turning up the volume this season with exclusive new Jam Tracks and Emotes inspired by Coachella artists past and present. Whether it’s The Marías, Jennie, Yeat, Amyl and the Sniffers, or Djo, players can drop into matches or music hubs soundtracked by the same artists who’ve lit up the Coachella stages IRL.
Each new emote is more than just a dance — it’s a vibe. You can express yourself with sound, showing off your own rhythm in sync with the game’s evolving music landscape. Complete Spotlight Quests to earn XP, unlock new items, and level up your festival-inspired loadout. It’s all part of a growing library of Coachella-inspired content that makes Fortnite feel like a living, breathing concert in the cloud.
🕶️ Signature Styles and Festival Favorites Return
For long-time Fortnite festival fans, the best part might be what’s coming back. Signature Coachella Outfits, Emotes, and Instruments are making their return — each designed with that unmistakable mix of neon glow, desert sunset tones, and music-reactive motion.
From vibrant, sound-reactive outfits that pulse with every beat, to limited-time festival artist favorites, the lineup of in-game fashion drops captures the iconic energy of Coachella. The sets are rolling out across Weekend 1 and Weekend 2, so expect exclusive drops, throwback looks, and items that perfectly match the virtual stage energy.
🌴 Coachella Goes Digital — But the Energy Stays Real
What makes this collaboration special is how it bridges two worlds: the physical magic of Coachella’s desert festival and the ever-expanding digital universe of Fortnite. It’s not just a crossover — it’s an evolution of how we experience music and art together.
At Coachella Music Festival Live, we’re always celebrating the performances that have made the festival legendary — from iconic live sets in Indio to today’s innovative takes on what live music can be. Now, thanks to Fortnite’s creative universe, fans can live the festival in an entirely new way.
