The National Bank Open presented by Rogers is just around the corner and fans visiting the tournament will be able to Feel Tennis in many ways throughout the week in both Montreal and Toronto using all five of their senses.
Tennis Sound will be felt in a big way during Opening Night at IGA Stadium on Monday, August 7 beginning at 6 p.m. when popular Montreal band Clay and Friends, with the help of Mixbus Studio, brings its powerful blend of hip-hop, soul, and funk to life in a special performance at the Esplanade Loto-Quebec.
Fans can purchase tickets for Centre Court or Rogers Court during Monday’s evening session to enjoy the best of tennis as well as Clay and Friends. They can also buy a grounds pass for $20 to attend their show and take advantage of everything else happening on-site.
In addition to Clay and Friends, there will be a full slate of live music to hear during the event featuring Julien Charbonneau, Jolyane Lemay, Noëm, and more. There will also be multiple DJ sets to take in at various locations around the grounds.

In the ad, the lyrics, which can easily be related back to tennis, are sung by an all-female group and the visuals showcase Canadian stars Bianca Andreescu and Leylah Annie Fernandez as well as the WTA’s biggest stars.
