Coachella, the annual music and arts festival, is again partnering with Fortnite. Just like in real life, the festivities will run for two action-packed weeks, and you won't want to miss any of it!
Let's review the 2024 iteration of Fortnite x Coachella and what you can expect from the game's collaboration with the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Coachella-themed Jam Stage & Main Stage

Hang out and play music with your friends at the Jam Stage, and feel like you're right there at Coachella! The Main Stage has been Coachella-fied to boot, featuring a themed video screen to enhance the atmosphere.
These changes to the Jam Stage and Main Stage will remain until v29.30!
Coachella-themed Item Shop
The Fortnite Item Shop during Fortnite x Coachella 2024 will star different Coachella-themed Skins, Instruments, Jam Tracks, and more each week of the festivities.

On April 11, 2024, the Horizon and Cosma Outfits will debut in the Item Shop, complete with the Interstellar Butterfly Back Bling, Coachella Pulse Pickaxe, and Soft Synth Wrap. These items all react to music, and both Skins have LEGO Styles!
If you dream of headlining Coachella, you can start by rocking the Jam Stage and Main Stage with the Mirage Glimmer Guitar and Festival Keys Keytar.
Fans of this year's lineup can show their support by grabbing the Rebellious Emote and the Sonic Surfer Emote. The Rebellious Emote features Doja Cat’s hit song "Paint The Town Red”, and the Sonic Surfer Emote uses "Feather" by Sabrina Carpenter.
On top of all that, a slew of Jam Tracks from artists performing at Coachella 2024 will be available in the featured rotation at the Festival Main Stage until April 18, and you can purchase them for keeps in the Item Shop, too:
- Bleachers - I Wanna Get Better
- Blur - Song 2

- Eslabon Armado, Peso Pluma - Ella Baila Sola
- Lil Uzi Vert ft. Oh Wonder - The Way Life Goes
