CHICAGO, Aug. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corona®, is celebrating the end of summer with virtual backyard performances starring Jason Aldean, hosted on Twitter (via @LiveNation) and Live from Home, Live Nation’s Virtual Concert Hub on Friday, Aug. 28, starting at 6:00 p.m. ET. With the Backyard Beach virtual concert, Corona is encouraging fans to kick back at their own backyard beach and enjoy some of their favorite music and beer. Aldean will invite other Country music stars, who will be announced at a later date.
“This year summer concerts look very different, but we encourage consumers to find their beach wherever they are as long as they have an ice-cold Corona in hand,” said Ann Legan, Vice President of Brand Marketing, Corona. “Corona is here to bring beach vibes wherever consumers are, by delivering the Backyard Beach virtual concert.”
Aldean will perform fan-favorites from his catalog, that includes 23 radio chart-toppers, along with his current climbing single, “Got What I Got,” from his sixth consecutive #1 selling album 9 (Macon Music/Broken Bow Records).
“This summer has been a lot different for all of us with more time at home but I wanted to perform for my fans no matter where we all are,” Aldean said. “Everyone should get a chance to kick back and enjoy an ice-cold Corona and lime while listening to some music before summer is officially over.”
Fans can take advantage of the final days of summer with the celebratory concert series and have a chance to win a variety of prizes by following the instructions in special sweepstakes call-to-action posts on Corona’s Instagram, Facebook and Twitter channels. The sweepstakes will run from Aug. 26 through Aug. 28, where one grand prize winner will be named “Jason’s featured fan of summer” and will win an autographed vinyl album, Corona merchandise and be featured on Jason’s website and social media accounts with a text shout out from Jason himself.

About Jason Aldean
After almost 15 years at the top of his format, three-time ACM “Entertainer of the Year” Aldean has seen trends come and go. He’s helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”) and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). But after all that time, he continues to hold his ground making modern albums with an old-school soul—most recently with his ninth studio album, 9, which debuted at the top spot on Billboard’s Country Albums chart. Notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified GOLD or PLATINUM by the RIAA, while bolstering 15 billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold as well as 23 radio chart-toppers.
