Overview
- Coachella worked with Google DeepMind’s Project Genie at the 2026 festival to build three AI prototypes for live music.
- The prototypes are still in testing with organizers reviewing results before deciding on any rollout.
- Teams captured a Quasar stage performance and rebuilt it in Unreal Engine as a 3D space that fans could later explore.
- Another tool lets artists preview stage designs on 3D stage models using uploaded visuals or text prompts, lowering planning barriers for smaller acts.
- A mobile game called Coachella vs. The Game lets users roam artist-themed worlds before a visit, building on earlier AR streams and NFT-based quests.
