Hiyo Brings Feel-Good Social Tonics to Fans Across the U.S.

Beverly Hills, CA (December 1, 2025) — Live Nation and Hiyo Social Tonics today announced a multi-year partnership, along with an equity investment from Live Nation, that will bring Hiyo's feel-good, better-for-you beverages to fans at select U.S. venues and festivals.

The partnership marks one of the biggest brand moves in Hiyo's history and brings their fruit-forward, mood-boosting social tonics to live music fans nationwide.

A New Way to Celebrate Live. Hiyo's social tonics are crafted with adaptogens, nootropics, and functional botanicals to deliver the brand's signature "float", an uplifting sense of calm and clarity that helps fans feel good in the moment.

Fans will first experience Hiyo's Blackberry Lemon flavor, a bold, fruit-forward social tonic that pairs well with any show — from the first note to the encore. With Hiyo, fans get a refreshing, low-calorie option without sacrificing taste.

"This is a defining moment for Hiyo. Consumers today are looking for choices when it comes to how they connect, celebrate, and socialize – and partnering with Live Nation puts us at the center of that shift," added Evan Quinn, Chief Executive Officer at Hiyo. "It's a powerful opportunity to bring our feel-good social tonics to some of the most iconic music venues in the country, reaching millions of fans during the moments that make them feel most connected."

Fans Want Options — The Data Says So. Live Nation's latest fan research shows that:

  • 6 in 10 alternate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at live events

  • 80% say a great beverage makes the live experience even better

"Partnering with Live Nation brings our mission to life on the biggest cultural stage there is, live music," added Ian Knowles, Hiyo's Chief Strategy Officer. "From the beginning, we set out to create a refreshing, low calorie and delicious beverage that also feels good, which allows our customers to stay social, and live fully – truly enhancing how we socialize. Together with Live Nation, we get to meet people in the moments that matter most, helping fans everywhere 'feel the float' as they move, connect, and experience the joy of live music."

A Strategic Investment in What's Next. As part of the partnership, Live Nation has taken an equity stake in Hiyo. This investment accelerates Hiyo's national expansion and is the latest in Live Nation's investment portfolio, backing brands including JOLENE Coffee, Liquid Death, Owen's Craft Mixers, among others, that meet fans where culture is moving.

"Fans celebrate in different ways throughout a show — sometimes with an alcoholic beverage, sometimes with non-alcoholic alternatives, and often a mix of both," said Tom Allison, SVP of New Ventures at Live Nation. "As fans' tastes continue to evolve, Hiyo fits naturally into what they're reaching for next. We're excited to bring the brand into our venues and help support their next phase of growth."
