Some of Canada's best figure skaters, including Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, will take to the ice at Budweiser Gardens this fall.
It was announced on Monday that a new national tour, called Rock The Rink, will touch down in London on October 30. Tickets go on sale this Friday.
The Rock the Rink tour will feature Virtue and Moir, along with Patrick Chan, Kaetlyn Osmond, and Elvis Stojko. In addition to the Canadian skating greats, the show will include Italian Olympic Medalist and World Champion Carolina Kostner and Olympic Medalist and four-time U.S. National Champion Jeremy Abbott.
“Last year, we rode the Olympic wave and carried the momentum through the Thank You Canada tour – a fulfilling project that truly allowed us to connect with fans coast to coast,” Virtue said in a statement released Monday. “This year, it’s critical that we elevate the production and generate authentic entertainment in new and creative ways. Scott and I have spent our career striving for more, taking risks, and daring ourselves to be better…our approach to this is no different.”
“The goal for Rock The Rink is to be something that fans of skating and live entertainment will look forward to year after year, knowing that it will always be a can’t miss night,” added Moir.
Tickets for the show at Budweiser Gardens can be purchased online at budweisergardens.com, by phone at 1-866-455-2849, and in-person at the Courtesy Ford Box Office at Budweiser Gardens.
