Grammy-nominated artist Benson Boone performed a concert for 3,500 fans at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's Rocket Garden. The exclusive show was part of the Visa Live global music series, which unites artists and fans in iconic locations. Per Florida Today:
The 23-year-old performed for one hour Nov. 29th in the Rocket Garden at Kennedy Space Center, a venue normally closed in the evening. Following a dramatic countdown, Benson took the stage at exactly 9:15 p.m. with a backdrop of rockets from the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo eras. He spent the next hour belting out his chart-toppers including "Mystical Magical" and "Slow it Down" to a crowd of 3,500.

Those in attendance were among 9,000 Florida residents who entered a lottery to witness the live show...

"Thank you so much NASA. Thank you so much Visa for having us out today," Boon said to the cheering fans. "What a beautiful stage and what a beautiful crowd."

Frank Cooper, chief marketing officer for Visa, who said the Rocket Garden and Boone were a perfect pairing for Visa Live's first U.S. showing.

"Benson Boone actually really loves space," Cooper said. "He loves this idea of space travel and United States having this history of first traveling to the moon and then beyond."
