MONTREAL — Rogers Communications announced today it has signed a five-year agreement to be the exclusive telecommunications sponsor for the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal.
Starting in 2022, Rogers will be the official presenter of the Festival’s Blues stage and will also present a series of indoor concerts. In addition, Rogers “will offer festival goers an improved experience, namely thanks to the launch of 5G onsite,” reads a press release.
For this year’s Festival, which starts on Sept. 15, Rogers will provide musical entertainment in the Quartier des Spectacles, exclusive content as part of the Festival’s digital segment, as well as device-charging stations.
Rogers Moments subscribers can also enter for a chance to win behind-the-scenes access to meet a Festival artist this year. More details on this are available here.
“Rogers is very pleased to be associated with this cultural event that is much appreciated by Quebecers and has been livening the streets of Montreal every summer for over 40 years,” says Édith Cloutier, regional president of Rogers Québec, in the press release.
“The world-renowned Festival International de Jazz de Montréal makes it a must-see event with the greatest names in jazz, whom we have greatly missed. We are proud and excited to move to the rhythm of jazz with local and international fans and connect them with the artists who showcase Montreal,” Cloutier says.
“This partnership is great news and will help secure the Festival’s future,” says Laurent Saulnier, vice-president of programming for the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. “We look forward to exploring with them the different opportunities that will provide an even more enjoyable experience for festival goers over the next five years of our partnership.”
