Summer ‘Get Fresh Tour’ Comes to an End

Published

Miller Genuine Draft teamed up with COMPLEX Magazine to bring the “Get Fresh Tour” to select cities to pay tribute to the unique style and rhymes of Hip Hop’s next-generation while also promoting legal-aged drinking.

With stops in Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, the three-concert series featured local artists on the rise. Last month, the tour stopped in San Francisco and featured the Bay Area’s own Mistah Fab. This month the tour will end in Los Angeles and will feature Hip Hop Artist “Hit Boy”.

“…we’re excited to bring our consumers the freshest, up-and-coming Hip Hop stars in their cities,” said Abigail Brock, MGD Brand Manager.

She believed the series gave people the “opportunity to hear their favorite local up-starts in an intimate music setting in three iconic American cities,” Brock added.

In addition to the concerts, COMPLEX Magazine’s Music Editor, Ernest Baker, provided all-access video series featuring artist interviews, performance clips and artist diaries, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look into the MGD Get Fresh Tour. Visit www.complex.com

Gov. Newsom Highlights Record-Breaking Tourism Revenue, Warns of Economic Threats from Federal Policies

“California dominates as a premier destination for travelers throughout the nation and around the globe,” said Newsom. “With diverse landscapes, top-rate attractions, and welcoming communities, California welcomes millions of visitors every year. We also recognize that our state’s progress is threatened by the economic impacts of this federal administration, and are committed to working to protect jobs and ensure all Californians benefit from a thriving tourism industry.”

Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom, along with the nonprofit organization Visit California, announced that tourism spending in California reached a record $157.3 billion in 2024, reinforcing the state’s status as the top travel destination in the United States.

The Governor made the announcement May 5, referencing Visit California’s 2024 Economic Impact Report, which highlights a 3% increase in tourism revenue over the previous year.

According to the report, California’s tourism sector supported 1.2 million jobs, generated $12.6 billion in state and local tax revenues, and created 24,000 new jobs in 2024.

“California dominates as a premier destination for travelers throughout the nation and around the globe,” said Newsom. “With diverse landscapes, top-rate attractions, and welcoming communities, California welcomes millions of visitors every year. We also recognize that our state’s progress is threatened by the economic impacts of this federal administration, and are committed to working to protect jobs and ensure all Californians benefit from a thriving tourism industry.”

Despite the gains in tourism revenue, Visit California’s revised 2025 forecast points to a 1% decline in total visitation and a 9.2% decrease in international travel. The downturn is attributed to federal economic policy and what officials are calling an impending “Trump Slump,” caused by waning global interest in traveling to the United States.

To offset projected losses, the Governor is encouraging Californians to continue traveling within the state and has launched a new campaign aimed at Canadian travelers.
