Live Nation announced Tuesday it has a partnership agreement with the Ak-Chin Indian Community that includes the naming rights for Desert Sky Pavilion in Phoenix. The building will now be called Ak-Chin Pavilion.

Manuel, Jr. “We are excited about this partnership with Live Nation and working together to bring quality live entertainment to the Valley.”
The venue will be host to an all-star lineup of performers this year including Pitbull & Ke$ha tomorrow night, Big Time Rush & Victoria Justice (June 26), Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival (July 5), Kid Rock (July 24), Luke Bryan (July 27), Train (Aug. 7), Rascal Flatts (Sept. 12), Keith Urban (Sept. 29), John Mayer (Oct. 2), Depeche Mode (Oct. 8), Jason Aldean (Oct. 17) and more to be announced in the coming weeks.
“We couldn’t be happier to enter into this marketing relationship with the Ak-Chin Indian Community at our premier live entertainment venue in Phoenix,” said Maureen Ford, president of Live Nation’s Venue Network. “Their community and entrepreneurial spirit makes this sponsorship alliance a great fit, enabling them to reach, engage and connect with live music fans at our venue.”
