Last week, Hilton welcomed American chart-topping starlet Halsey and Tokyo-based DJ De De Mouse—and hundreds of screaming fans—for a night of epic music in Tokyo to celebrate Hilton’s award-winning rewards program, Hilton HHonors. 

Hundreds of fans and Hilton HHonors members, who redeemed their Points for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, discovered an artist set to take on the world. With Hilton Tokyo Odaiba as the backdrop, 21-year-old Halsey belted out tracks from her acclaimed debut album, Badlands. Japanese sensation De De Mouse kept the party going with his unique mix of ethereal vocals and deep beats.

The good news is: the party doesn’t stop in Tokyo. Throughout the world, Hilton HHonors members can choose from more than 4,660 hotels to work, play and experience the unique benefits of membership. Members in or traveling to Asia Pacific, whether for a work trip to Millennium Hilton Bangkok or a honeymoon at Conrad Maldives, have the opportunity to earn or redeem Hilton HHonors Points for their on-property stay.

Beyond the hotel stay, HHonors members in Asia Pacific—and around the world—can also redeem Points for once-in-a-lifetime experiences at HHonors.com/auctions, from sitting in on a sumo tournament in Japan to imbibing on an insider’s beer tour of Sydney, Australia.

In addition to hotel packages, Hilton HHonors members around the world have gained access to some of the music industry’s most buzz-worthy artists and have attended private hotel performances through Hilton HHonors Artist Experiences and the Hilton Concert Series.

See JR JR at Hilton Toronto on June 25

With what originally started as a basement recording project, the American indie-pop duo JR JR premiered their hit single “Gone” from their self-titled album last year. The buzz resulting from their first album has quickly put the duo on the map. Marrying indie-pop, folk, and electronic elements, this concert is sure to provide dance-ready good times.

See Grimes at Hilton Berlin on July 19

There’s a reason why Vancouver-born Grimes is a favorite at festivals worldwide: this genre-bending electronica star knows how to get a party started. Expect big, skittering beats, dreamy vocals and plenty of light and color from the stage as the artist who some consider her generation’s answer to Bjork sets to work. And what better place to experience it all than in the home of electronic dance music: Berlin. 

Love country music—in the home of country music?

See Kip Moore at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Nashville Downtown on August 31

If you like your country raw, honest and very, very handsome, then Georgia-born Kip Moore is the crooner for you—hits like “Runnin to You” and “I’m to Blame” have seen the rock-country star’s latest album soar to the top of the country charts. And where better to get an earful of Kip than smack bang in the middle of country music central, just a few short blocks from the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame. You’ll boot-scoot away from this gig with a newfound twang, we promise.

See Gary Clark Jr at Hilton Austin on October 28

Austin is home to some of America’s most exciting music festivals (see SXSW and Austin City Limits) as well as some of the best up-and-coming and long-established talent in the country. Few though are as celebrated as hometown hero Gary Clark Jr, whose extraordinary live shows—Rolling Stone said he was better than the Stones at Glastonbury in 2013!—have made the extraordinary guitarist and blues songwriter one of the most sought-after festival acts on the planet. This chance to see him in an intimate venue, in his beloved hometown, is sure to be one of the hottest tickets of the year.
