• Monster Energy:

  Stop by the Monster viewing deck to refuel and meet some of your favorite Northern Invasion artists! Monster Energy will be keeping all Invaders fueled up and ready to rock by offering free sampling on their Monster Energy viewing deck. Enjoy Monster Energy drinks from one of the best seats in the house. Make sure to check back throughout the festival for a schedule of Monster Energy's interactive artist experiences. Most companies spend their money on ad agencies, TV commercials, radio spots and billboards to tell you how good their products are. At Monster Energy, we chose none of the above. Instead we support the scene, our bands, our athletes and our fans. We back athletes so they can make a career out of their passion. We promote concert tours, so our favorite bands can visit your hometown. We celebrate with our fans and riders by throwing parties and making the coolest events we can think of a reality.

• Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyards Wine Garden:

  This wine garden will highlight Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards, owned by Arizona resident Maynard James Keenan, co-founder of international recording acts Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. Having already dove headfirst into this venture, Maynard found out from a distant relative that wine making is in his blood. His Great Grandfather, "Spirito" Marzo, had vineyards and made wine in Venaus, Italy, just North of Turino in Piemonte.

• SWFTCharge:

  SWFTCharge provides an ultra convenient phone-charging service for live music events. How it works: attendees purchase the charging service at one of the SWFTCharge booths and receive a "SWFTCharger" to charge their phone. Once the "SWFTCharger" is dead, it can be swapped for a new one as many times as customers want while they are at the event. By eliminating charging pads, wires and lockers we're aiming to provide attendees with a service that is convenient, frictionless and untethered.

  As America's most social, sessionable beer, Bud Light has always been in the business of friendship. You might say we're even famous for it. We have been present at memorable moments among friends, big and small, for 35 years. Music and friendship go hand in hand for Bud Light — and Northern Invasion is the perfect setting for making memories with friends over a few Bud Lights.
