Tim McGraw, The Band Perry and Kelly Clarkson In Free Concerts At A Microsoft Store Near You—That’s Right, A Microsoft Store

If you want to see country superstar Tim McGraw with The Band Perry or "American Idol"- winner-turned-pop star Kelly Clarkson in free concerts, all you have to do is check out your local Microsoft Store if you live Dallas or Charlotte, N.C.

Bet you didn't see this one coming.

Microsoft will open its second Charlotte-area retail store on Saturday, Oct. 18, and announced an exclusive Kelly Clarkson concert the following day at Symphony Park as part of the festivities.

The first 1,500 people in line for Saturday's ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m. will receive a pair of tickets to Clarkson's Sunday concert. They will also have a chance to win one of 100 available spots for a meet & greet with Clarkson, according to Creative Loafing.

Symphony Park gates will open at 2 p.m. on Sunday for the standing-only performance.

To celebrate the grand opening of the Microsoft Store at NorthPark Center, country stars Tim McGraw and The Band Perry will perform a free show in the mall parking lot, reports the Dallas Morning News.

That's an impressive opening bash. But you'll have to work for your tickets.

Interested attendees can begin lining up for tickets in the Macy's parking garage outside North Park at 10 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7. Bring some slippers and a pillow, because it'll be an all-nighter.

On Saturday, Nov. 8 at 10 a.m., the tickets will be distributed to the first 2,500 people in line. Each person gets two tickets. If you score tickets, you're still a long way from a nap, though: People will begin lining up to get into the performance area immediately after getting tickets. Gates open at noon and the concert starts at 1 p.m in the Northeast parking lot at the mall, adds the Dallas Morning News.

The concert will be 45 minutes to an hour long.

The Microsoft store officially opens at 10 a.m. Nov. 8
