Brett Young To Perform Live From The Runway In February
Brett Young is performing a virtual concert to celebrate the launch of Spirit Airlines and Mastercard’s all-new Free Spirit® loyalty program and Free Spirit Mastercard. Brett Young: Live from the Runway will take place on Feb. 4 at 8 p.m. ET.
Young’s performance will be the first-ever concert streamed worldwide from the runway of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, with planes speeding past. It will begin inside one of Spirit’s newest aircraft before moving outside, where an impressive light show will illuminate the plane’s livery — featuring Young’s face and the details of an upcoming sweepstakes that will be revealed during the show.
“It’s been amazing to team up with our friends from Spirit Airlines and Mastercard for our next virtual show—hope you’re able to tune-in to see all of the cool things they’ve been working on,” Young said. “Thanks to everyone who has continued to be a part of our virtual shows over the past year… I’m so excited to kick off 2021 with fun ways to stay connected until we can all be together again. See y’all on the runway!”
“Mastercard remains committed to bringing consumers closer to their passions through new and digital ways,” said Cheryl Guerin, EVP Marketing & Communications in North America for Mastercard. “Together with Spirit Airlines, we are thrilled to provide this streaming concert experience to the homes of many around the world in celebration of the new Free Spirit loyalty program and future travel with the Free Spirit Mastercard.”
“We know a lot of our guests miss going to concerts,” Spirit Airlines Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Bobby Schroeter said. “Inviting Brett Young to play at the airport is our way of bringing them that experience. We’re giving everyone who attends the concert 100 Free Spirit points to show them how quickly their points add up and how easy it is to redeem them, which they can do for every fare on every flight.”
Spirit will be donating 100,000 points to one of the charities closest to Young’s heart — myLIFEspeaks — which is focused on family empowerment, education, public health, and special needs advocacy in Haiti. The airline has a history of supporting the people of Haiti, and continues to serve Port-au-Prince while also providing the only scheduled service to Cap-Haitien from the U.S.
