The Hollywood Reporter had a prime seat for the once-in-a-lifetime event on a Southwest plan — which took off about an hour before all planes were grounded by the FAA — that also featured The Used and Lolo.
On Friday, Nov. 13, artists performed an unexpected in-flight concert aboard a Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Los Angeles to Orlando, Florida. According to Billboard, the musicians were en route to Orlando for a Vans Warped Tour date scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, at Camping World Stadium. The performances occurred during a nationwide FAA ground stop that halted departures across the country.
Variety reports that Southwest Airlines brought back its “Live at 35” program for the flight, which featured artists traveling to the Vans Warped Tour. The performers included Hoobastank, The Used, Simple Plan, and Lolo. The Hollywood Reporter noted that the plane took off approximately one hour before all planes were grounded by the FAA.
