Friday’s nationwide ground stop transported some early-2000s music fans back to the era they know best.
As departing flights were halted nationwide, passengers aboard one flight were treated to a spontaneous concert featuring some big names from the 2000s alternative rock and pop-punk scene.
Video posted on social media showed Hoobastank frontman Doug Robb performing the band’s 2004 hit “The Reason” inside the cabin of a Southwest Airlines flight.
And passengers seemed more than happy to join in.
“When @hoobastank starts performing The Reason mid flight ?,” flier Molly Hammons wrote in an Instagram reel, adding, “What just happened on my flight?”
Another Instagram user, Jordan Orion, wrote, “First in my bloodline to scream the reason on a plane with Hoobastank,” adding, “I will never recover from this.”
And Hoobastank wasn’t the only band to pull off an impromptu performance.
Simple Plan fans were likely transported back to their teenage years as the band broke into hits including “I’m Just a Kid” and “Perfect,” as seen in videos posted on social media.
“When my childhood dream comes true and Simple Plan performs on my Southwest flight to the Vans Warped Tour,” one user wrote.
Last but not least was The Used, which performed “The Taste of Ink” during the surprise in-flight concert.
“The Used performing on my flight to Warped Tour wasn’t on my bingo card,” TikTok user @grievesly wrote.
Others on social media were a little jealous.
“This NEVER happens on my Southwest Airlines flights,” one user wrote on X. “I need to demand better.”
The bands appeared to be heading to the Vans Warped Tour in Orlando, Florida.
Earlier this week, Hoobastank posted video from a performance of “Same Direction” in Long Beach, California, over the summer while promoting the upcoming appearance in Orlando.
“We can’t wait to return to the stage at @vanswarpedtour in Orlando this Saturday. Last Warped of the year! ?♾️,” the band wrote in the Nov. 11 post.
