The USTA has announced that Sebastián Yatra will headline the 2023 Sounds of the Open presented by Chase on Friday, August 25th during US Open Fan Week on the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The concert is free, but requires a ticket to gain access to the site. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster starting at 1 pm ET today (Mon, Aug 7th) and will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Yatra is expected to take the stage at 8 pm with pre-show festivities hosted by popular afternoon radio hosts Maxwell and Crystal of iHeartMedia New York’s Z100 and also will feature DJ Citizen Jane.
Sounds of the Open presented by Chase is one of the key nightly anchor events of US Open Fan Week, which boasts a host of activities and free access to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center from Tuesday, August 22nd, through Sunday August 27th. US Open Fan Week is anchored by the US Open Qualifying Tournament and leads into the main draw of the 2023 US Open which begins on Monday, August 28th.
Yatra is a passionate tennis fan with close personal relationships with Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, among other players. He is a multi-Platinum, chart-topping and genre-bending singer, songwriter, and bilingual multi-instrumentalist. His successful 78-date Dharma World Tour followed a year of smashing award-nominated music releases including “Tacones Rojos” from his Grammy nominated and two-time Latin Grammy award winning, multi-Platinum album Dharma; and “Dos Oruguitas” from Disney’s Encanto, alongside performances on prestigious national broadcast stages including the Academy Awards.
His music leads with passion, his words evoke emotion and his mellifluous voice melts hearts. His summer-smash single “Vagabundo,” which is now RIAA certified Platinum in the US, 2x Platinum in Spain and holds multiple Gold certifications across Latin America, continues to sail with Manuel Turizo and Beéle. This summer, Sebastián has performed sing-alongs to the catchy “na-na-na-na-na” melody to hundreds of thousands of fans at sold-out international festival crowds. “Vagabundo” boasts 200 million streams to date as it continues to dominate the streaming charts too, including the Spotify charts in 19 countries and ranking at No. 117 on Spotify’s Top Global Song Weekly Chart. It trended No. 4 on Youtube and has accumulated more than 50 million views leading the video to No. 85 on YouTube’s Global Top Music Videos chart. The song is a celebration of three major Colombian artists. His first release of the year “Una Noche Sin Pensar” is also celebrating a recent placement as No. 1 Latin Pop Airplay.
