Bristol Casino, the upcoming residence of Hard Rock, has recently announced a partnership with one of Virginia’s most established theaters.
Last week, the Cameo Theater proudly revealed its sponsorship deal with the VA casino. As part of this exciting partnership, the main stage of the theater will now go by the name of the “Hard Rock Stage.”
“Live music is a key part of our DNA. Hard Rock is an iconic music brand, with proud and deep roots in the industry. We have a rich legacy of supporting performing artists of all music genres.”
Bristol Casino will help build on existing ‘rich legacy’
Believing it will contribute to a lasting legacy, Brent Buchanan, the owner of the Cameo Theater, is thrilled about the partnership.
Opened in 1925, the Cameo Theater has been a hub of entertainment for both Bristol residents and visitors for countless decades.
However, during the 1970s, the theater shut down and remained empty until Buchanan acquired the property in 2017. Since then, he has worked on restoring the theater and played a significant role in reviving live music events.
Partnership could foster Bristol business
However, this collaboration will bring a greater sense of entertainment to Bristol Casino – the future location of Hard Rock.
Virginia casino has more in store for Bristol
During an interview with WJHL 11, the Vice President of Marketing at the casino subtly suggested that there will be additional collaborations and forthcoming events.
Marc Deleo, in an interview with the TV station, expressed his optimism by saying, “There are endless possibilities ahead of us. We are only scratching the surface. Although we haven’t finalized all the specifics, we are certainly planning extensive cross-marketing efforts. Furthermore, we have already begun featuring our top VIP guests on our shows, and there is a plethora of exciting content on the horizon.”
The Bristol Herald Courier reports that an array of bands and tributes are expected to grace the spring season. However, the standout event is a thrilling live performance in a parking lot, showcasing the talents of Billy Idol and Bret Michaels. This highly anticipated show has the potential to attract an impressive crowd of over 15,000 individuals.
