A new outdoor concert and event venue is set to open in the region with a summer lineup that includes the Barenaked Ladies, Sean Paul, and the "I Love the 90s Tour." On The Grand will open on June 8 at Bingemans, kicking off with the Ever After Music Festival, a three-day electronic dance music event. Grammy award-winning rap- per Sean Paul will perform at the venue on July 20. The Bare- naked Ladies are booked for Ju- ly 21, and on Aug. 19 the "I Love 90s Tour" featuring Salt-N-Pe- pa, Vanilla Ice, Rob Base and Young MC and more, will make a stop. On The Grand, which has a capacity of 16,000 and tempo- rary seating for about 2,500, will also host an Oktoberfest event from Oct. 5 to 6, and Oct. 12 to 13. "Pretty much anything that can utilize the venue we're go- ing to welcome," said Gabriel Mattacchione, president of Be- yond Oz Productions Inc., a Ca- nadian-based entertainment company that will open the ven- ue and run its programming. Mattacchione said the com- pany has been discussing the project with Bingemans for about two years in an effort to close a gap in larger venue op- tions between London and To- ronto. "We have a big population be- tween the Tri-Cities and sur- rounding areas that need enter- tainment options," he said. "We want to fill that gap and make Kitchener an entertainment complex." Sales for the first round of performances planned for the new venue have already started at onthegrand.net. A second round of announcements, ex- pected to include a food festival, will be announced at a later date.
