Music Happens Here: London

London's Abbey Road Studios played host to a one-off concert as part of a unique programme of music events in cities around the world combining live experiences, video content, playlists and exclusive content.

This was the first of the series and saw OneRepublic head to the infamous music studio to play an intimate set to just 200 people, featuring hits from their latest album, Oh My My, and previous records. The gig was the first show for the band in the UK this year and preceded a UK tour this summer.

"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 honours our legacy of celebrating travel through music and signifies our future at the centre of music's greatest moments by creating exceptional new experiences for our Hilton Honors members.
