New concert television series to premier on

Today, Live Nation Canada and Budweiser announced Budweiser Stage at Home, a weekly one-hour concert experience this
summer for fans to enjoy in the comfort of their own home. The iconic
waterfront music venue will be transported from downtown Toronto into the homes
of Canadians from coast to coast. The series premier will feature The Black Crowes with The Trews and hosted by Juno-nominated
musician and Sportsnet host, Tara Slone. Beginning Saturday, May 30 at 8 p.m., music fans can
watch the special weekly concert series each Saturday on Citytv and Citytv.com. The events
will also be available to stream on Live Nation’s Live From Home platform, more details below.
“Budweiser Stage has a long, rich history as one of North America’s
premiere concert destinations, and we know how important music is to people,
especially at a difficult time. We wanted to keep the summer concert season going,
even when we have to be apart,” said Riley O’Connor Chairman Live Nation
Canada. “Live Nation Canada is proud to present Budweiser Stage at Home to keep
our fans connected with live music. Live Nation continues to be the leader in
the presentation of live music performances and looks forward to when we can
all celebrate together at a live concert.”
Budweiser Stage at Home elevates
the home streaming experience by delivering fully produced shows from this
iconic venue. The series willcelebrate music and the connection it
creates as we head into another great Canadian summer. The hour-long specials
will be performed remotely and feature performances and interviews with artists
who were set to play Budweiser Stage this season or have previously performed
at the venue. The second episode will feature Canadian favourites Blue Rodeo
and Alan Doyle on June 6. Further artist performance announcements
are coming in the following weeks.
“The month of May has always been the kick-off to summer with the
opening of Budweiser Stage, however, during these unprecedented times we’ve all
had to change how we live our lives. But it hasn’t changed Budweiser’s
commitment to its community,” said Todd Allen, Vice President, Marketing,
Labatt Breweries of Canada. “Budweiser
Stage at Home allows us to elevate the at home music experience while creating
great moments for friends to celebrate at a distance.”
Although this season may look different, Budweiser Stage at Home hopes
to continue sharing music and entertainment with its community of fans.
