Southwest Airlines brought back its “Live at 35” program during Friday’s nationwide grounding of air travel with performances from artists on their way to Vans Warped Tour.

Hoobastank, The Used, Simple Plan and Lolo performed aboard a Southwest flight from Los Angeles to Orlando, Fla., on Nov. 13 as part of the music program, which hosts surprise midflight pop-up performances. The flight left Los Angeles around 11 a.m., about two hours before the FAA declared a national ground stop that snarled global travel and left more than 1 million people stranded.
