Doritos and “Stranger Things” Head Back to 1986 for “Live from the Upside Down” Concert in June

On store shelves now, you can find “Stranger Things”-branded bags of Doritos snacks, and the collaboration is all building to a special “Live from the Upside Down” event this summer.

We now have full details for the “Live from the Upside Down” event, which is being presented in the form of a digital concert experience on Thursday, June 23, 2022.

“The story goes that back in 1986, a tour bus crashed near Hawkins, Ind., headed to Doritos Music Fest ’86 – the greatest concert that never happened. The musicians disappeared into another dimension and the show was canceled… until now.

“Doritos opened a portal and is now inviting fans to virtually step inside to watch these ’80s music icons perform during “Live From The Upside Down.” The can’t-miss lineup features ’80s headliners including The Go-Go‘s lighting up the stage to fan favorites like “We Got the Beat” and “Our Lips are Sealed,” Corey Hart singing “Sunglasses at Night” and “Never Surrender,” and Soft Cell performing “Tainted Love.” As the fans are pulled deeper into the Upside Down, they will be shocked to see decade-defying pop star Charli XCX take the stage and perform a surprise collaboration with one of the ’80s bands.”

“It’s one thing to be able to share my music with my fans but having the opportunity to perform alongside some of the most iconic bands and singers is truly something out of this world,” said Charli XCX. “Doritos is doing something really cool by giving Stranger Things fans a new way to celebrate their favorite show with ‘Live From The Upside Down.’ I can’t wait for everyone to join us for this concert!”

Doritos will be the only way into the concert, so you can pick up a bag of Doritos or Doritos 3D Crunch featuring the limited-time Stranger Things packaging while they’re on store shelves or visit Doritos.com/StrangerThings to reserve your ticket and pick up exclusive merch!

In addition to the “Live From The Upside Down” concert, Doritos is releasing a new limited-time flavor – Doritos 3D Crunch Three CheeseTM – chips literally featuring another dimension. Doritos 3D Crunch Three Cheese brings together cheddar, Monterey Jack and parmesan cheese with a three-dimensional crunch that’s bursting with flavor. The newest limited-time flavor joins six other flavors – Doritos 3D Crunch Spicy Ranch, Doritos 3D Crunch Chili Cheese Nacho, Doritos Nacho Cheese, Doritos Cool Ranch, Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili, and Doritos Spicy Nacho – that will all feature the limited-edition Stranger Things packaging. To up the ante, fans who find exclusive “golden” tickets hidden across three 3D Crunch flavors – Three Cheese, Spicy Ranch and Chili Cheese Nacho – will win an official replica of the guitar prominently featured in Stranger Things 4.

“Stranger Things 4” comes to Netflix on May 27, 2022 with “Volume One” of the latest season. Volume 2 of “Stranger Things 4” will then arrive on Netflix on July 1, 2022.
