Budweiser Rewind is a new livestream concert series that gives fans the chance to experience the music they love in a new way and dive deeper into the content with never-before-heard stories. The first in the series on YouTube is kicking off with the Black Eyed Peas, who will be performing live from Will.i.am's studio in Los Angeles. The live music and storytelling series is highly interactive, as it takes advantage of YouTube's live chat feature and fans will be able to connect with the artists directly and even help to determine the setlist.
As Monica Rustgi, Vice President of Marketing for Budweiser describes, "We've uniquely designed Bud Rewind to draw the best elements of Budweiser Superfest, a 30-year long festival from 1980-2010, while acknowledging today's shifts in live music viewing."
