50 Years Ago Today: When four lads from Liverpool landed at the JFK airport, stepping off PanAm Flight 101 and onto U.S. soil for the first time, they created a wave of British Invasion music that has changed rock and roll forever. In honor of this moment, JetBlue has launched a special playlist at T5 (Terminal 5), where travelers can specifically select and listen to songs by popular British Invasion artists using the Rockbot social jukebox app, and enjoy a slice of music history while awaiting their next flight.
JetBlue’s T5 is no stranger to music, as the terminal has hosted big-name concerts and DJ’s since its opening five years ago. The ‘Live from T5’ series recently featured the likes of Taylor Swift, Cee-Lo Green, Phillip Phillips, Emili Sande and Lady Antebellum. Now customers can enjoy these events and even ‘DJ’ the terminal themselves, with the use of Rockbot.
