Richmond Raceway and Virginia Credit Union, a financial cooperative serving more than 265,000 members, have agreed to a multi-year naming rights agreement that will rebrand RR's Classic Amphitheater as Virginia Credit Union LIVE!
The venue will continue to bring musical acts and concerts to music fans in the Richmond region, according to representatives from both organizations. The amphitheater has hosted top national recording artists such as Aerosmith, Sting, Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews Band, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, Jr., Florida Georgia Line, Little Big Town, The Lumineers and Rob Zombie. Virginia Credit Union LIVE! will also continue to host the Radio One Stone Soul Music & Food.
The first concert announced for the year is Grammy-winning band Portugal. The Man on Thursday, Sept. 20. Advance tickets will be available for the public on Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. on vaculive.com, axs.com, or The National Box Office at 708 East Broad Street in Richmond.
“With Virginia Credit Union, we are uniting to build the bright future of the venue for new memories to be made with iconic musicians performing at one of the best outdoor concert experiences in the region,” said Richmond President Dennis Bickmeier. “Virginia Credit Union LIVE! will continue the historic legacy of music and entertainment at Richmond Raceway.”
“We are always in search of new opportunities to reach a broad audience,” said VACU spokesman Todd Feldman. “Making more people aware of our name creates opportunity for us to help more people with the goal of strengthening their financial confidence."
Virginia Credit Union LIVE! has 6,000 covered seats, six permanent private dressing rooms with restrooms and showers attached to the stage as well as two loading docks. There is a separate hospitality building providing a full menu of food and beverage amenities.
In 2017, the venue celebrated its 25th anniversary by forging a 10-year booking agreement with AEG Live.
