On Friday, April 15th, from 10 am AEST, the first wave of Coachella items will be available for dedicated players to purchase. The first set is The Wilder Outfit and its Cosmic Equalizer Alt Style, including the FinFin Back Bling Neon Biter Pickaxe and Finfin Flair Wrap.

The second set to release is The Lyric Outfit and its Cosmic Equalizer Alt Style, Swaguaro Back Bling and the Festival Shredder Pickaxe.

This isn’t the first music event to take place in the digital landscape of Fortnite. Over the recent years, several musical events have taken place, including Travis Scott, Tones and I, and Ariana Grande.

Though the music line-up hasn’t been released, it’s expected that people will be able to hear Harry Styles, Billi Eilish, The Weekend, Swedish House Mafia, and more! It should be fun.
