music & hollywood.
live & digital.

More than a live-streaming concert series, American Express UNSTAGED takes you on the journey of artists who are defining music culture, beat by beat. The audience is able to be a part of a story in progress, from their musical roots to their latest creative revelations, as told by some of today’s most visionary filmmakers.

 Launched in 2010 and still running today, American Express UNSTAGED pushed what's possible when it comes to fans connecting with their favorite artists. The series combines luminary filmmakers with some of music’s biggest stars to develop extraordinary shows held at incredible venues. In addition to directing the live performances, the filmmakers go beyond the music to capture the artists behind the scenes, helping fans get an up-close-and-personal look into the off-stage lives of the artists.
