PLANO, Texas, June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Last night, E3 Live attendees and Doritos fans were given exclusive access to a performance by Steve Aoki and the boldest orchestra ever assembled at the Doritos #MixArcade stage in downtown Los Angeles. The six-story, fully functioning retro arcade game doubled as a state-of-the-art concert stage that combined elements of technology, gaming and music in new and unique ways, including giving control over to fans for epic interactive performances.
As the headliner, Steve Aoki, renowned house DJ and 2013 Grammy Awards nominee, gave a bold performance to kick off the three nights of shows.
