Red Bull Locks Up Exclusive Energy Drink Rights to United Kingdom's Hottest
Music Festivals Through Marketing Alliance With Live Nation

LOS ANGELES and LONDON, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Live Nation and Red
Bull UK today announced a three-year strategic marketing alliance leveraging a
key component of Live Nation's fully-integrated live music platform: its
annual "must-see" UK music festivals. This marketing partnership and pouring
agreement entitles Red Bull to official energy drink rights at six of the
annual music festivals Live Nation produces in the UK: Download, T in the
Park, Wireless, Hard Rock Calling, Global Gathering and Escape into the Park.
Additionally, Red Bull will have a stage at the Download alternative hard rock
festival as well as Red Bull-designate campsite villages at that event and at
T in the Park.

All of the six Live Nation UK music festivals where Red Bull will have a
presence this summer are among the country's most firmly-established and
well-attended festivals in the their respective music genres: Download, 12-14
June in Donington Park, Derby, is peerless as an alternative hard rock
festival; T in the Park, 10-12 July in Balado, Scotland, is a seven-stage
extravaganza in its 14th year known for its music variety and green camping
credentials; Wireless, 4-5 July in London's Hyde Park, is a leading
amalgamation of dance meets hip-hop; Hard Rock Calling, 26-28 June in Hyde
Park, brings together legendary headliners for UK's biggest rock weekend;
Global Gathering, 24-25 July in Long Marston Airfield, Stratford Upon Avon, is
the biggest dance music festival in the world; and Escape into the Park, 13
June at Singleton Park in Swansea, is Wales' biggest annual dance music
festival.

"Red Bull joins us once again to bring their unique brand of fan focused
activity to our shows," said Simon Lewis, President, International Marketing
Partnerships at Live Nation. "Our association with them has always been highly
regarded and brings yet more intelligent and entertaining brand activity to
add to the stable of top-flight Live Nation festival partners. Each of these
festivals provide Red Bull with a unique, unrivaled distribution platform to
reach a much sought-after demographic of music fans. These festivals, all
known for bringing together a line up of the most talked about bands, are a
great value for fans and exemplary of the wide variety of brand
awareness-building opportunities that our integrated platform makes available
to corporations."

Dan Walsh, Commercial Events Manager, at Red Bull commented: "We are thrilled
to be working in partnership with Live Nation this year. Live Nation's
festivals attract some of the best bands in the world and our aim is to add to
this success story by bringing along our very own unique content via the Red
Bull Bedroom Jam Stage. Present at both Download and T in the Park, the stage
will showcase some of Britain's hottest young bands all of whom have been
voted for by the British public. Also, for the first time ever we will be
facilitating a live virtual gig on the Main stage screens, allowing a lucky
winning band from Red Bull Bedroom Jam to virtually support the Headline act.
As their official energy drink partner, over the next three years we look
forward to working with Live Nation to grow this activity, along with others,
to create the best festival experience."
