“The point of having that diversity in our music lineup we’re trying to expose the people to different types of music,” says Paul Chibe, Budweiser’s VP of marketing. “Much like last year, where if you never saw Pearl Jam but you’re a Jay-Z fan, we want fans of Beyonce or Calvin Harris or Wiz Khalifa to have the opportunity to see Nine Inch Nails or stuff they might have seen for awhile like Public Enemy. That eclectic mix creates an opportunity for us to really show the impact of music and culture.”
Made In America will also be preceded by a series of 30 Budweiser-sponsored events across the country, featuring performances from Big Gigantic, Savoy, Paper Diamond and White Panda.
