Getting fans closer to unforgettable music experiences — because together sounds better.

CHICAGO, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- White Claw^® is shaking up live music in 2025 with the return of White Claw Sessions, a multi-city concert series bringing fans closer to the artists they love ahead of the biggest music festivals in the U.S. Set to make waves this festival season like never before, this year's lineup delivers unforgettable performances, career-defining moments, and a front-row seat to the artists shaping today's sound. Because just like cracking open a cold White Claw, music is about shared moments that bring people closer together.

Now in its second year, White Claw Sessions is giving fans access to today's most electrifying artists with more exclusive sets, fresh talent, and a next-level festival experience. Headlined by GRAMMY® Award-winning powerhouse Maren Morris, world-renowned DJ duo Loud Luxury, chart-topping singer-songwriter Myles Smith, and more, White Claw Sessions will bring fans closer together in an intimate setting designed for real connection, leading up to some of the biggest festivals in the country in cities like Palm Springs, Chicago, Miami, Las Vegas and Austin.

"White Claw Sessions is going to be a special moment for fans," said Maren Morris. "White Claw has such a presence at music festivals, so getting to kick off White Claw Sessions with Maude Latour opening the show, makes this even more exciting. What I respect most is that White Claw isn't just showing up — they're actually creating a platform for rising artists. I'm proud to be a part of an event that's not just about great music, but about bringing fans and artists together in a way that feels authentic."

White Claw isn't just setting the stage, it's shining a spotlight on the next generation of artists. This year, the brand is elevating rising talent by introducing Next Wave Artists, a first-of-its-kind initiative spotlighting the next generation of hitmakers ready for their big moment. Next Wave Artists — Maude Latour, Paco Versailles, Abraham Alexander and more — handpicked for their talent, cultural influence, and ability to bring people together, will take to the White Claw Sessions stage, opening for chart-topping headliners just days before the biggest festivals of the year.

"White Claw has always been about bringing people together — whether it's cracking a cold Claw with friends or feeling the electrifying pulse of live music," said Kevin Brady, Vice President of Marketing, Mark Anthony Brands Inc. "With White Claw Sessions, we're creating unforgettable moments with trailblazers like Maren Morris, rhythm finders like Loud Luxury, soulful hitmakers like Myles Smith, and more. And with our Next Wave Artists, we're championing the next generation of musicians and creating incredible shared experiences along the way. Just like a variety pack, this year's White Claw Sessions lineup delivers an incredible mix of sounds music lovers won't want to miss!"
