RBCxMusic Concert Series returns to the
tournament for a second year following a
2019 sell out
TORONTO, Feb. 27, 2020 /CNW/ - RBC is excited to announce
the return of the RBCxMusic Concert Series at the 2020 RBC Canadian
Open, featuring headlining performances by Grammy Award-winning
artist/producer duo, The Chainsmokers, and four-time Grammy Award
winner, Keith Urban.
Building on the success of the inaugural event in 2019 with our
partners at Golf Canada, which saw sold out performances from
headliners Florida Georgia Line and
The Glorious Sons, the RBC Canadian Open will once again offer an
unforgettable experience for golf and music fans of all ages. The
concerts will take place near the iconic St. George's Golf and
Country Club on the football field of Toronto's Richview Collegiate Institute and
will feature performances on both the Friday and Saturday evenings
of tournament week – June 12 and 13,
2020.
Canadians will have the opportunity to see The Chainsmokers live
in concert at the RBC Canadian Open on June
12, 2020.
"Performing in Canada is always
a good time," says The Chainsmokers' Alex
Pall.
The Chainsmokers' Drew Taggart
adds, "Nothing says summer like golf and outdoor concerts, and we
can't wait to kick off the season with our friends up north."
In addition, Keith Urban will
close the Concert Series with a headlining performance on
June 13, 2020.
"We are thrilled to announce the return of the RBCxMusic Concert
Series, with artist and producer duo The Chainsmokers and the
reigning ACM Entertainer of The Year, Keith
Urban," said Mary DePaoli,
Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, RBC. "Last
year we set our sights on attracting new, younger fans to the sport
of golf and creating a fresh, unforgettable fan experience,
resulting in our most successful RBC Canadian Open to date. We
can't wait to build on that incredible momentum at this year's
tournament."
"We are so excited that RBC will continue to integrate the
RBCxMusic platform with world-class golf through their incredible
support of the RBC Canadian Open," said Golf Canada CEO
Laurence Applebaum. "Adding the
Concert Series to the RBC Canadian Open has been an iconic
enhancement to our tournament, and the perfect kick-off to
summer."
In addition to can't-miss music performances, fans can expect
exciting spectator experiences, including a dedicated food and
beverage area – the Fare Way, and the return of The Rink, awarded
2018 best-in-class element by the PGA TOUR.
