In their ongoing efforts to develop a presence in the music world, Pepsi has launched a new music platform called Out of the Blue, intended to deliver unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime music experiences for fans everywhere. Grammy-nominated artist Charli XCX and reanimated multi-platinum rockers Fall Out Boy will appear in Out of the Blue ad spots debuting during the Grammys broadcast on CBS this Sunday. The spots will help kick-off the “100 Days” contest, which will give consumers a chance to win these exclusive music experiences, including front-row seats, artist meet-and-greets, etc. to SXSW, the 2016 Grammy Awards and more.
Grammys 2015 Predictions: Who Will Win, Who Should Win
Starting on Grammy Sunday, February 8, and continuing for a total of 100 days, Pepsi will award a fan each day with the music experience of a lifetime. Through May 18, one lucky winner will be chosen to receive a flyaway trip for them and three guests to an upcoming major music event with “Out of the Blue” experiences ranging from backstage passes, premier seats at a show, artist meet and greets, access to rehearsals and sound checks, and more. A sampling of some of the events and concerts include music experiences with SXSW and a VIP experience at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
