LOS ANGELES, July 12
/PRNewswire/ — Budweiser, Live Nation and Haymon Events announced

some of the brightest stars, including headliners such as Michael Jackson, Stevie
Wonder, Aretha Franklin, TLC,
Parliament, Luther Vandross and many
other musical legends.
The 2010 tour will
feature an all-star lineup of today’s R&B favorites including Anthony Hamilton, Kem, Jaheim, Raheem DeVaughn, Abraham
McDonald and Hal Linton, with

“Thousands of music
fans have fond memories of Superfest and this revival combines the best
of the series’ highlights with many of today’s hottest, up-and-coming
artists,” said Bryan Hammonds,
Multicultural Brand Manager for Anheuser-Busch.
“The return of the
historic Budweiser Superfest concert series builds on our existing
relationship with Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch,” said Russell Wallach, President, Live Nation
Network. “Budweiser Superfest has created a unique place in music
history as one of the must-see annual urban concert series of the
eighties and nineties by featuring the best in R&B music year after
year. We expect to carry on that legacy with a stellar line up of
artists already confirmed for the 2010 return.”
