"Budweiser Superfest is back and better than ever with Jill Scott's unique brand of urban soul," said Bryan Hammonds, Budweiser Brand Manager. "This year builds on the successful 2010 revival of Superfest as Budweiser continues to bring great concerts to music fans in cities nationwide."

Scott will be joined by special guests, Grammy® nominated R&B singer Anthony Hamilton and groove specialists Mint Condition with music provided by DJ Jazzy Jeff and hosted by Doug E. Fresh.

"With its long-standing legacy and strong brand in the soul and R&B communities nationwide, we're leveraging our distribution network to expand the festival's reach among new and returning fans," said Russell Wallach, President, Live Nation Network.  "We're proud to join Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch in bringing the venerable music celebration to fans in 17 major markets this summer."

In the spirit of making a difference in local communities, Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busch is celebrating the performances by donating $150,000 from its Foundation to UNCF (United Negro College Fund); presented as $10,000 scholarships in 15 of the 17 Superfest concert cities. The scholarships will be awarded to local students attending a UNCF school.

The Anheuser-Busch Foundation also supports UNCF's national programs bringing its total UNCF contributions to $250,000 in 2011.  A-B has supported UNCF for more than three decades, initially as the founding sponsor of the Lou Rawls Parade of Stars telethon.
