Hamilton Golf and Country Club to host
one-of-a-kind concerts and only 2019 canadian tour stop for
Florida Georgia Line
HAMILTON, ON, March 19, 2019 /CNW/ - RBCxMusic, in
partnership with Golf Canada, is pleased to announce a new concert
series, featuring Grammy-nominated and internationally acclaimed
duo, Florida Georgia Line (FGL), and
JUNO award winners and homegrown rock band, The Glorious Sons,
taking place at the 2019 RBC Canadian Open.
The concert series will be held on the iconic grounds of the
Hamilton Golf and Country Club on June
7 and 8, 2019, and will offer an enhanced experience for
golf fans, music lovers and players alike.
Global entertainers Florida Georgia
Line are well known for their innovative artistry and
chart-topping songs – including their 16th #1 hit "Simple" and
breakout 11X-PLATINUM smash "Cruise." Their fourth studio album
CAN'T SAY I AIN'T COUNTRY (BMLG Records) recently
arrived, racking up over 473,000 album consumption globally to
date, and debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums
chart. The project features current chart-rising single "Talk
You Out of It." The pair will launch their North American
2019 CAN'T SAY I AIN'T COUNTRY TOUR this summer. Canadians
will have the opportunity to see FGL live in concert at the RBC
Canadian Open on June 7, 2019 – their
only Canadian stop this year.
"We've always had an epic time performing in Canada," says FGL's Tyler Hubbard. "Our Canadian fans sure know how
to bring the party!"
FGL's Brian Kelley adds, "We just
can't wait to be back and play our new songs!"
"This is exciting news", said Team RBC ambassador and PGA TOUR
professional Dustin Johnson. "I'm a
big fan of Florida Georgia Line, and
this concert series is a great opportunity to open up this
tournament to a whole new fan base."
In addition, The Glorious Sons, hailing from Kingston, ON, will be performing on
Saturday June 8th, 2019 at the
concert series. The band have ten consecutive top-10 songs on
Canadian Rock radio including the Gold-certified single "Everything
Is Alright", and recently enjoyed four weeks at #1 on the U.S. rock
charts with their hit single "S.O.S. (Sawed Off Shotgun)". They are
currently on their headline "S.O.S. Tour" in the United States, which has included sell-out
performances in Philadelphia,
Detroit, Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver and Buffalo."
"It's very exciting to have Florida
Georgia Line and The Glorious Sons perform at this year's
RBC Canadian Open," said Mary

Officer, RBC. "We are committed to creating an unforgettable fan
experience, and our new concert series is a unique opportunity to
connect golf and music fans of all ages."

"Adding the Concert Series is another special moment in
continuing to elevate the RBC Canadian Open experience, and
welcoming new audiences to the golf course," said Golf Canada CEO
Laurence Applebaum. "We are thrilled
that RBC has integrated the RBCxMusic platform with their
incredible support of the RBC Canadian Open."
The RBC Canadian Open's return to the historic Harry Colt designed course in 2019 is timed
perfectly – marking the 100-year anniversary since the renowned
club originally first hosted the Open. This year will be the sixth
time the Hamilton Golf and Country Club has played host to
Canada's National Open
Championship (1919, 1930, 2003, 2006 and 2012).
In addition to the concert series, the tournament will feature
new spectator enhancements, including a local foodie and patio
experience, junior initiatives, the RBC Hall of Fame Day
