Charlottesville’s premier outdoor music venue is ready to rock again as the newly branded Ting Pavilion
Ting Pavilion’s highly anticipated 2021 season opening on June 18, 2021
June 3, 2021 – CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. – Today, Red Light Management and the Charlottesville Pavilion announced a five year partnership with Ting Internet that will see Charlottesville’s leading outdoor entertainment venue renamed as Ting Pavilion. The venue’s highly anticipated 2021 season will open on June 18 with the return of Fridays After Five.
Ting Internet, a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX, TSX: TC), has been a proud member of the Charlottesville, Virginia community since 2014. Over the past six years the company has expanded its fiber internet footprint to service more neighborhoods and has launched a number of successful digital divide and community-focused initiatives to give back to the residents of Charlottesville.
“We are thrilled to partner with Red Light Management and the Charlottesville Pavilion to bring the joy of music and entertainment back to the community after such a trying year,” said Kara Chandeysson, City Manager, Ting Internet. “The Pavilion is such an integral part of Charlottesville, acting as an economic driver for downtown and as a cultural landmark within the state. We have always believed in being a true community partner wherever we operate and we’re thrilled to continue playing our part here in the city.”
This city-owned and privately managed venue has been a staple within the Charlottesville arts and culture community for over 15 years. Since opening in 2005, the Pavilion has presented legendary performers like James Brown and Willie Nelson along with some of the most beloved contemporary artists — including Arcade Fire, Leon Bridges, Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Snoop Dogg, and The Lumineers — and has established itself as a leading community hub, hosting a number of nonprofit events and acting as an economic driver for Charlottesville’s historic downtown.
“Ever since the Pavilion opened, we’ve had several overarching goals: to elevate the arts and culture scene, to drive business for the downtown community and to give back to our city,” said Kirby Hutto, General Manager of the Ting Pavilion. “With community initiatives as a cornerstone of their operations, Ting embodies everything we look for in a partner. This rebranding marks an exciting new chapter for the arts scene here in Charlottesville and we’re excited to kick-off this great partnership with the highly-anticipated return of outdoor performances.”
The Ting Pavilion will continue to host the highly-popular and long-running Fridays After Five concert series each Friday through the summer months, kicking off on June 18 with local favorites Chamomile and Whiskey with an opening set by Shagwuf.
As part of the 2021 reopening, management at the Ting Pavilion has assured that the HVAC in the restrooms provides an abundance of fresh air circulation and will introduce new contactless payment options for concession stands to limit touch-points. The venue will continue to monitor and adhere to CDC and State COVID policies as they evolve.
The formal venue renaming is pending Charlottesville City Council approval, which will be voted on Monday, June 7.

Ting Internet joins industry cohort supporting the Emergency Broadband Benefit
New initiative from the Federal Communications Commission is the latest program offered by Ting Internet to help lower barriers to internet access across the U.S.
May 12, 2021 — CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — Ting Internet, a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX, TSX: TC) announced today that it is among the first cohort of industry players supporting the Emergency Broadband Benefit. This is the latest program offered by Ting Internet to help lower barriers to internet access across the U.S.
The new initiative, funded by $3.2 billion allocated by Congress in the December 2020 stimulus package, is spearheaded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and aims to help Americans struggling to pay for broadband internet service during the pandemic. As part of the Emergency Broadband Benefit, eligible Ting Internet customers will receive up to a $50 monthly credit on their internet bill for the duration of the program.
“Tucows and Ting Internet are highly aware of the digital divide that exists across the country; broadening accessibility and minimizing the implications of limited access to the internet is something we consider at every step of our operations,” said Monica Webb, Head of Market Development, Ting Internet. “The Emergency Broadband Benefit strongly aligns with our values of giving back and ensuring that the internet is open and accessible to all. We want to make it as clear and as easy as possible for our customers to benefit from this program.”
Since the onset of the pandemic, Ting Internet has expanded its commitment to programs aimed at lowering barriers to internet access, which includes local initiatives to install communal internet access points and partnering on national price-relief programs.
“We fundamentally believe that everyone should have the ability to access the internet. Costs—especially to those struggling during a global pandemic—shouldn’t be prohibitive,” said Zuri Stanback, Head of Marketing, Ting Internet. “We are committed to simplifying access to any and all government relief programs. We know the real-life impact that these initiatives make and it’s exactly why we have a team devoted to pursuing all state and federal broadband support programs.”
Since March 2020, Ting Internet has expanded its digital inclusion programs, installing internet hotspots in public areas for the community to use in every market the company operates. At the start of the pandemic in March 2020, Ting also signed the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected Pledge, promising that internet access would not be cut off for any customers who were unable to pay.
New and existing customers in any of Ting’s markets can see if they are eligible for this program by visiting ting.com/ebb. Eligible customers will register for the Emergency Broadband Benefit through Lifeline National Verifier, and once registration is verified with Ting, will have the monthly credit applied directly to their account.
Ting Internet currently operates in 13 markets across the country, with cities in California, Colorado, Idaho, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia.
To learn more about the Emergency Broadband Benefit and to see if you or your household are eligible for the program, please visit fcc.gov/broadbandbenefit.
