Every awards show is accompanied with dozens of events around the city it’s located in, filled with celebs and industry folks. However, most of it is sponsored by outside companies and brands, so this year, BET is making their own weekend around the BET Awards! Today the network announced the “BET Experience,” a 3-day concert series going down June 28-30th, leading up to the big show on July 1st. Get the details below!
