Anthony Kiedis Launches JOLENE Coffee at 40 Live Nation Venues, 23 States

Anthony Kiedis, frontman of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has co-founded Jolene, a ready-to-drink coffee brand inspired by his long-standing friendship with Shane Powers and their shared love of coffee. Jolene offers two flavors—Black, a bold cold brew, and White, a smooth oat milk latte—with beans sourced from an all-female Peruvian co-op that supports women growers and their communities. The brand has partnered with Live Nation, which is both an investor and distribution partner, making Jolene available at 40 Live Nation venues and festivals across 23 states, including iconic amphitheaters like Gorge and Jones Beach. In addition to being sold online and at select retailers in Los Angeles and New York, Jolene is integrated into the live music experience, with unique cocktails featuring the coffee served at select venues. The collaboration also includes investors such as Global Brand Equities and h.wood Group founder John Terzian, emphasizing high-quality taste and a strategic alignment with concert culture. Live Nation's involvement mirrors previous entertainment-led branding efforts, aiming to meet fan demand for convenient, high-quality beverages that complement the energy of live music events.
