When the pandemic poses a challenge to live music venues like The O2, we look for creative solutions. We\u2019ve partnered up with Island Records and Epic Games to create The O2 in Fortnite Creative, our latest fully integrated campaign to create a new interactive gaming and musical experience, by the UK\u2019s top up-and-coming Leicester act, easy life. All from the comfort of your own home. This is the first time that The O2 has ever appeared in a video game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t just want to re-create a gig. We wanted to reimagine live music without limitations; a blueprint for the future of music performances. Although easy life\u2019s headline tour of O2 Academy this coming November is already sold out, Fortnite Creative are giving fans an early chance to experience the UK\u2019s top breakout band in action.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, this week, users will get the chance to immerse themselves in a gig like no other, as the band virtually performs tracks from their debut album \u2018life\u2019s a beach.\u2019 This fully rounded experience will transport you to six unique areas inspired by easy life themselves, for all to interact with, unlock, and collect in-game items. There will be hoverboards and underwater cinemas, while the band performs in the belly of a huge decaying whale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The performance starts Thursday, 24th June at 20:30 BST, and millions will be able to access and enjoy the gig with friends until 23:59 BST this Sunday, 27<\/span>th<\/span> June.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you can\u2019t go to the gig, we\u2019ll bring the gig to you. Experiencing innovative entertainment like never before.<\/span><\/p>\n
