"Doritos is a brand that believes in living life to the fullest and embracing bold experiences," said Jeannie Cho, VP of marketing, Frito-Lay. "We were honored to combine our heritage of gaming with music in the Doritos #MixArcade at E3 Live, once again putting control in the hands of fans. The gaming and music communities have long been partners on the small screen - now we've brought them together on the big screen."

The evening concerts at the Doritos #MixArcade not only held exclusive performances but also gave control over to the fans once again for an interactive concert experience. Show-goers donned bracelets that controlled different aspects of the performances.

But that's not all. On Tuesday the #MixArcade was home to performances by Steve Aoki and Empire of the Sun and Wednesday hosted shows by Wiz Khalifa and Big Boi of OutKast fame.

In celebration of Doritos' 50(th) anniversary and a continuation of the brand's "For the Bold" campaign, the Doritos brand also hosted a series of challenges as part of its Doritos Bold 50 campaign at the Doritos #MixArcade, including: "World's Largest Game of Video Arcade Tag" and "Highest Score on a 60-Foot Tall Arcade Machine." The Doritos #MixArcade venue alone broke records for "World's Largest Live-Action Arcade Game," and "World's Largest Arcade Machine." The campaign asks fans worldwide to be a part of 50 world-record-attempts with Doritos through 2016.
