The London O2 becomes ‘virtual venue’ in Fortnite Creative

 The ‘supervenue’ is available from today, Monday June 21, for one week only in the world’s biggest game, within Fortnite Creative.

Indie-pop quintet easy life will be the first UK act to play in the virtual venue this Thursday evening at 8.30 pm. The Leicester-based band will perform tracks from their debut album ‘life’s a beach’, marking the first time The O2 has ever appeared in a videogame.

Inside the virtual venue, gamers will enjoy several exciting gameplay additions in the arena. These include a new space packed with hidden rooms, backstage areas and the O2 Blueroom, where they can complete challenges for a chance to win rewards.

With much of easy life’s headline tour of O2 Academy and other UK venues this coming November already sold out, their historic headline performance at The O2 in Fortnite Creative presents music lovers with an early chance to enjoy an exclusive set from the UK’s top up-and-coming band.

Beyond their performance in-game, easy life and Fortnite have also created a brand new, in-game-only lobby track that anyone can listen to within Fortnite after attending the experience.

“We know how much everyone – us included – has missed going to gigs and we’re excited to bring the UK’s hottest up-and-coming band to music fans globally through Fortnite Creative.” – Simon Valcarcel, from O2
