Coachella has announced its entrance into the NFT ecosystem. Today, the storied festival released plans for a multi-part NFT drop in partnership with crypto-exchange giant FTX.

Featuring three collections, Coachella’s debut NFT drop, Coachella Collectibles, will go live on Feb. 4 at 1 p.m. ET.

Featuring a total of 11,010 NFTs across three collections, Coachella Collectibles offers fans the opportunity to purchase lifetime festival passes, unlock unique on-site experiences, physical items, and more. The drop will be broken down into three collections: Coachella Keys, Sights and Sounds, and Desert Reflections.
To collect an NFT from the Coachella Collectibles drop, users must first sign up for FTX US on the web. Once signed up, users will then be prompted to complete identity verification and will need to deposit at least $60 into their account via credit card, ACH bank transfer, wire transfer, or crypto transfer before the collection goes live.
With this collection, Coachella has endeavored to be one of the first music events to issue NFTs in place of festival passes. Previously, 3LAU had successfully released NFTs in lieu of concert tickets/festival passes and has been a major proponent of the NFT live event use case for years.
