BALTIMORE, April 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — MECU, Baltimore’s Credit Union, is the new naming rights sponsor of Pier Six Pavilion in Baltimore, Maryland, signing a multi-year agreement with Live Nation. The iconic amphitheater, holding over 4,000 fans and hosting approximately 25 concerts a season, will now be known as MECU Pavilion.

This exciting partnership reinforces MECU’s commitment to Baltimore and will help increase the credit union’s visibility across the entire Baltimore region as a trusted financial institution where members get more for their money.

“As Baltimore’s hometown credit union for over 80 years, we are delighted to partner with Live Nation to support a popular local venue with such a rich musical history,” said John Hamilton, President and CEO of MECU. “While many in Baltimore are familiar with MECU’s great deposit and loan rates, free premium checking and profit givebacks, this partnership will introduce our trusted brand to an even broader audience of Baltimore-area music fans.”

For 2018, several world-renowned artists have already announced a tour stop at the venue, including Steve Miller Band with Peter Frampton, Khalid, Barenaked Ladies, and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. For ticket information, please visit MECUPavilion.com.

“We are thrilled to welcome MECU into the Live Nation family. Our partnership will provide the company with a new avenue to reach, engage and connect with live music fans and the Baltimore community,” said Andy Peikon, Senior Vice President of Live Nation Media & Sponsorship.

As part of the naming rights agreement, MECU members will receive advance ticket access and “Fast Lane” early admission to shows when they present their MECU debit or credit card at the main gate.

Additionally, MECU is running a “Rates That Rock” sweepstakes featuring a Grand Prize of $5,000 and an “Ultimate Rockstar Weekend” prize which includes 2 tickets to a select MECU Pavilion concert, 5-star hotel stay, $500 cash and VIP transportation.
