Now, the brand is promising to make this year's Lollapalooza one the people of Chicago and America will never forget by activating a stage moment on the festival's first night with Local DJ Duo, Flosstradamus.

"Bud Light's mission to bring people together for fun, over ice-cold beer and great music experiences continues this summer, and we can't wait to bring our fans another unique and unforgettable stage moment in Chicago," said Alex Lambrecht, vice president, Bud Light.

"We are stoked to be partnering with Bud Light to bring you all a very special stage moment that coincides with the 25th anniversary of Lollapalooza," said Flosstradamus. "We can't wait to share this unique Bud Light Stage Moment with all our fans, the attendees at Lollapalooza, and the city of Chicago."

In addition to a one-of-a-kind performance on the first night of the festival, Bud Light limited edition Lollapalooza cans will be widely available throughout the weekend at local Chicago retailers and via the Drizly site and app. The cans feature images that pay homage to Chicago's own unique and rich musical heritage and the city's beautiful skyline. To help bring the cans to life, Bud Light has commissioned Chicago-based contemporary artist Floyd A. Davis IV who is going to create wood sculptures of the iconic landmarks of the city of Chicago that are on the limited edition cans within the Bud Light footprint at the festival so make sure to stop by to see the finished product.
