TORONTO, Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In 2024, live entertainment will reach new heights. The Feldman Agency (TFA) is teaming up with Tennis Canada to launch Toronto’s newest open-air concert venue – The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium. Perfectly located in North America’s third-largest concert market, with a surrounding population of more than 6.8 million, The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium will be home to the biggest names in music and entertainment – from country ballads and rock shows to side-splitting comedy acts and cultural showcases.
