Southwest Airlines upped the ante on its in-flight entertainment with the\u00a0launch of its “Destination” music series that took flight in May<\/a> this year. The series is aimed at giving emerging artists from various locations the chance to open for established artists in iconic live venues. The series kicked off with “Destination: Red Rocks”, with the opportunity for\u00a0talented new artists to compete with each other for the chance to open for The Fray at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado venue at the end of June. Part of the contest also required the artists to take part in an in-flight performance as part of the airline’s pre-existing “Live at 35” gigs in the sky.\u00a0(Source)<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Live at 35 has been a popular pop-up concert series that showcases small groups of singers and musicians who perform intimate sets for passengers, and has featured artists like Gavin DeGraw and Barenaked Ladies over the past five years, to name just a few.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
