When fans log in to buy their Country Megaticket over the winter, it will be for the KeyBank Pavilion, not the First Niagara Pavilion.
KeyBank is continuing sponsorship of the 23,000-capacity Burgettstown amphitheater having acquired First Niagara Financial Group and becoming the nation’s 13th largest commercial bank.
“While KeyBank is a new name to our market, it is not new to keeping its commitments to the communities it serves, including right here in Western Pennsylvania,” Todd Moules, market president for KeyBank, said in a statement. “The partnership with Live Nation has been very good and sponsoring the Pavilion provides a strong community connection for establishing our bank brand in Western Pennsylvania, just as we did six years ago. The relationship with this unique entertainment venue continues to provide important media and hospitality value to our customers throughout the region.”
The venue, which traditionally hosts between 20 and 30 concerts during the season, opened in 1990 as the Coca-Cola Star Lake Amphitheatre before becoming the Post-Gazette Pavilion and First Niagara Pavilion.
