Budweiser used a series of neon animations on Twitter to slowly announce the Philadelphia lineup for its bi-coastal Made in America music festival on Thursday.

Festival co-founder Jay Z handpicked Kanye West, Kings of Leon, Tiesto and The National to headline the two-day event on Aug. 30-31 at Philly's Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
