GoUSA TV to Sponsor London Games Kickoff Concert as Part of Brand USA's NFL Partnership
The thrill of American sports, music, and culture highlighted with concert by Grammy Award winner Jess Glynne and exciting events throughout the London Games
LONDON, Oct. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Football League (NFL) has announced that GoUSA TV will present the London Games Kickoff Concert as part of its sponsorship of the NFL London Games. The concert will feature Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jess Glynne and is part of a one-of-a-kind fan experience highlighting how music, sports, food, and tradition continue to shape American culture and travel. The London Games Kickoff Concert presented by GoUSA TV will take place Oct. 14 at Wembley Stadium.
GoUSA TV is Brand USA's streaming TV channel that inspires travel to the United States. It is the go-to channel and definitive source to find real, authentic, and on-demand video content about travel experiences in the USA. The GoUSA TV London Games sponsorship kicked off in September with a day-long fan fest in Piccadilly Square, which showcased how Londoners of all ages can follow their favorite NFL teams and experience new American cities.
Jess Glynne will take the stage before the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders meet in the first of the NFL's three regular-season games. Glynne has captivated fans around the world with her powerful vocals which combine elements of pop, soul, R&B, and house music. She has sold more than 13 million singles worldwide and her debut album released in 2015, "I Cry When I Laugh," sold more than 1 million copies in the UK alone.
"Tailgates, touchdown celebrations, and iconic halftime shows have two things in common – football and music, which is why the London Games Kickoff Concert presented by GoUSA TV is the perfect complement to this year's partnership with the NFL," said Christopher L. Thompson, president and CEO of Brand USA. "Brand USA is excited to invite UK fans to explore GoUSA TV programming to learn unique aspects of any one of the NFL's 32 team cities, then come visit and experience it all first-hand."
Alistair Kirkwood, Managing Director of NFL UK, added, "We are delighted to continue our partnership with Brand USA and support their mission to encourage people from around the globe to explore and experience all that the United States has to offer. GoUSA TV is a great brand that helps us to deliver an exciting and entertaining experience for all NFL fans."
The Seahawks-Raiders game will air live on BBC Two at 5:30 PM and on Sky Sports at 5:00 PM, with live coverage in the United States on FOX.
Since 2013, Brand USA's partnership with the NFL has become a touchstone moment to promote the United States as a world-class travel destination. GoUSA TV is a leading sponsor of the regular season International Series games on Oct. 14, 21, and 28. All games will take place at Wembley Stadium and this year's matchups include:
- The Oakland Raiders will host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 14.
