Hoobastank Anthony Hughes Warped Tour-bound artists Hoobastank and Simple Plan performed a mid-flight concert Friday, a promotional gig that happened to coincide with a nationwide air travel shutdown.
The Used and LØLØ also played a couple songs for passengers aboard Southwest’s Los Angeles-to-Orlando flight as part of the airline’s Live at 35 series, which “transforms ordinary flights into extraordinary concert experiences, with surprise pop-up performances for passengers at a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet,” Southwest said.

What made this Live at 35 concert especially unique is that it occurred amid a full-scale air transit standstill that resulted in hundreds of flights being canceled, postponed, or rerouted, while thousands of passengers were stranded either at airports or on the tarmac.
