【early 20th century eroticism for men】

This coming weekend,early 20th century eroticism for men Coachella is taking place once again, set to grab headlines with its lineup and Instagram-curated outfits. For those missing out on the annual festival, though, a virtual recreation of the experience is coming to Fortnite, with the official launch of Coachella Island.

An always-on experience within the game, Coachella Island is "a new destination for creator-made music and art experiences in Fortnite," according to a press statement. This entails virtual replicas of the festival's distinct aesthetic landscape (desert mountains, palm trees, the works), built by creators from Alliance Studios, a gaming consultation group heavily involved in Fortnite. There are also a slew of art installations recreated by the Fortnitecommunity, including the the Coachella Ferris Wheel and balloon chains.

The foray into gaming this year is more concrete, signalling a larger interest from the festival in providing virtual experiences. The island will be available to view on April 14, 3pm ET.

Sam Schoonover, Innovation Lead for Coachella, tells Mashable that "seeing how well gamers responded" to Coachella x Fortnite last year, the two were motivated to pursue a greater partnership.

"Gaming and virtual spaces offer the unique opportunity to provide an immersive experience that is true to the festival - one where gamers can visit with their friends and enjoy a playground of experiences inspired by the music, art, style, and scenery that is iconically Coachella," he says.
