Amazon Pharmacy made the opening weekend of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival âless painfulâ for festival-goers with a free live show on Saturday afternoon, April 12 with Reggie Watts â in the name of the brandâs mission to âmake healthcare less painful.â When Watts woke up feeling âsickâ on a festival day, he turned to Amazon One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy to get rolling again. And roll he did, without getting off the couch, through the streets of Palm Springs. He surprised festival goers by riding on a motorized, four-wheeled sofa â with an incredible sound system one might add â to invite music lovers to âMuSickâ at the Ace Hotel.Â
During the event, Watts, who is known for his beatboxing music, crafted âsickâ beats out of sick sounds. Imagine an audience dancing to a chorus of coughs, bobbing to syncopated sneezes, and throwing their hands up to a throw-up reflex. The whole performance took place atop a larger-than-life 12ft-tall couch (complete with giant throw pillows). A way to let the audience know that with Amazon Pharmacy and Amazon One Medical you can get medical care without getting off the couch. Or even, hypothetically, without leaving the dance floor. Special guest NEIL FRANCES and Rhythm Luna opened the show before Wattsâ headline performance.Â

The event also treated fans to specialty cocktails and mocktails, including some health-inspired beverages like Sinus Spritz, MuSick Margarita, Cougha-colada, Thirst Aid, and Placebo Effect, as well as cold pressed juices from a wellness bar and branded misters and fans to fight off the heat.Â
âThe event was sick funâin the best way,â Watts said. âIt made perfect sense to be out there making âMuSickâ about getting prescriptions delivered. Playing live for people on the street, then climbing up on this massive couch to perform? Easily the softest stage Iâve ever been on. Hopefully when folks are curled up sick at home, theyâll think of Amazon Pharmacy and get what they need fast.â

Watts shared, âWhen Amazon explained what they were doing to make healthcare less painful, and what they wanted to create, I was in. I was inspired by this idea and started to play with the sounds of being sick and turn them into music. I turned the usually unpleasant experiences of getting sick and dealing with healthcare into something relatable and entertaining. The results put a smile on all our faces.â
Dana Droppo, Chief Brand Officer, Billboard, echoed that sentiment, saying, âWe are thrilled to join forces with Amazon and Reggie for this exciting activation. These festivals are a vibrant celebration of music and culture, and this partnership elevates that experience in a truly engaging way. Weâre confident that fans will not only love what weâre creating but will walk away feeling connected and deeply immersed in the spirit of the music.â
