Hilton Honors Provides Exclusive Access to Once in a Lifetime Music Experiences

Partnered with Live Nation, Hilton Honors Launches Integrated Music
Program, “Music Happens Here” and Presents a New Original Video Series
Available on Spotify

MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Last night, during GRAMMY® Week, Hilton (NYSE:
HLT) launched “Music Happens Here,” a first of its kind integrated music
program that provides Hilton Honors members with unique concert
experiences and unprecedented access to music and artist connections.
The program builds on Hilton’s exclusive partnerships with Live Nation
and with The Recording Academy® (the organization which
bestows the GRAMMY®), and introduces a new music and travel
content creation partnership with Spotify.


Hilton Honors has once again upped the ante to give members more of what
they want most. Through its “Music Happens Here” program, Hilton will
continue to provide Hilton Honors members with access to top concerts,
private meet-and-greets with chart-topping artists, one-on-one artist
experiences, and private concerts at Hilton hotels and resorts and in
iconic music landmarks.

The “Music Happens Here” original video series, presented by Hilton and
produced by Live Nation is the first of its kind on Spotify and gives
audiences an insider’s guide to some of the most iconic places where
music has been created, performed and celebrated. There will be
corresponding curated playlists that will guide listeners on a walking
tour of the featured cities and the places where music actually
happened, is happening and will continue to happen. These playlists will
be found exclusively on Spotify.

Music has always happened in and around our hotels and resorts
throughout the world. From The Beverly Hilton hosting the first GRAMMY
Awards to John Lennon penning the lyrics to Imagine on Hilton New
York Midtown stationery – Hilton will always be the world’s stage for
extraordinary experiences,” said Mark Weinstein, Hilton’s Senior Vice
President and Global Head of Customer Engagement, Loyalty and
Partnerships. “Music Happens Here honors our legacy of
celebrating travel through music and signifies our future at the center
of music’s greatest moments by creating exceptional new experiences for
our Hilton Honors members. I’m thrilled Spotify has joined us and Live
Nation on this journey to inspire our guests to travel the world and
visit the places where music happens.”

Today’s announcement builds on last week’s launch of an updated
Hilton Honors program
with a new logo and four industry-first
loyalty benefits.

Hilton celebrated the launch of “Music Happens Here” with some of its
most valuable Hilton Honors members and invited guests during an
intimate Hilton GRAMMY Week dinner and private OneRepublic performance
on the rooftop terrace of The Beverly Hilton.

In addition, Hilton, Live Nation and Spotify premiered Spotify’s
original video series’ trailer at last night’s event. Los Angeles is the
first stop in the series, which will give viewers unique insight into
the greatest music moments within the city – from folk rock to surf
punk, and glam metal to rap – enveloping the culture of the places
they’ll love to explore.

We are always looking for different ways to create new content
experiences for our listeners,” said Pat Shah, Head of Original Content
Licensing. “Working with brands such as Hilton and partners like Live
Nation allows us to tell great music stories that will resonate with our
audience.”

We are thrilled to have co-created this breakthrough program with
Hilton to bring truly unique music experiences to fans all over the
world,” said Darin Wolf, EVP Live Nation Media & Sponsorship. “Whether
fans are seeking out new destinations to follow their favorite artist or
adding a live music event to maximize their travel experience, Music
Happens Here will help amplify those experiences and create memorable
moments.”

Some recent Hilton Honors experiences have included:

  • Private concerts with Jason Derulo, Halsey, Elle King, Kip Moore and
    Gary Clark, Jr.
  • Spa sessions with Kelsea Ballerini, Tinashe and Colbie Callet
  • Backstage access with Andra Day, Barenaked Ladies, and Imagine Dragons
