Bud Light Teams With Lady Gaga to Give Fans First Access to New Album 'Joanne'

As part of Bud Light's ongoing efforts to bring people together, the number one beer in America is partnering with global superstar, Lady Gaga, to give fans a first listen of her new album "Joanne." The partnership will come to life through the Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour, a unique experience where fans will witness small, one-of-a-kind performances of her new album.

Instead of playing huge arenas, Lady Gaga will be playing at intimate dive bars, as a nod to the "raw Americana" vibe of the new album and where the singer got her start.

"My first performances were in dive bars in New York City and around the country, so working with Bud Light to go back to my roots to perform songs from my new album 'Joanne' is such an exciting way to connect with my fans and share this music with them for the first time," said Lady Gaga.

Fans will also get a sneak peek to select, highly-anticipated tracks off "Joanne" in four TV spots airing on national broadcast outlets in October. Additionally, for two full days on Oct. 5 and 6, Bud Light's social channels will be the only destination to watch Lady Gaga perform her newest track, "Million Reasons."

"Bud Light is always looking for unique ways of connecting with fans. Providing fans access to an artist like Lady Gaga and getting to see her perform in a small venue is a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Alex Lambrecht, vice president, Bud Light. "We look forward to being the brand that can surprise and unite fans across the country over her music."

The Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour will kick-off on Wednesday, Oct 5, 2016 where Lady Gaga will perform her two new hit singles "Perfect Illusion" and for the first time, "Million Reasons" to an intimate crowd. To bring her new album to the masses, the performance will be live streamed on Bud Light's Facebook page.

More details on the locations and times of the performances will be announced on Bud Light's social channels in the coming weeks. Additional tour dates include:

• Thursday, Oct 20, 2016
• Thursday, Oct 27, 2016
