“Welcoming Tori Kelly to the Adobe Stage at this year’s fan fest is an exciting culmination to our second season working in partnership with Adobe to celebrate the incredible fans and creators that are a part of the NWSL community,” said NWSL Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer Julie Haddon. “We thank Adobe for the opportunity to celebrate the end of the 2024 season with the creativity and passion that Tori’s music inspires.”

The NWSL Fan Festival offers fans interactive games, food and beverages and photo opportunities with the NWSL Championship trophy ahead of the 2024 Championship game. Kelly’s performance on the Adobe Stage will be livestreamed via NWSL+. As an Official Creativity Partner of the League Adobe has been proud to continue the “Creator Club” throughout the 2024 season, highlighting female creators for the second year running. The Creator Club pairs local artists with NWSL Teams to create unique fan-centric content that help fans showcase their love of the team and share with their friends.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Adobe to celebrate the NWSL Championship, where we’re coming together to celebrate creativity at the intersection of music and sports. It’s such an exciting opportunity to connect with fans, players, and artists at the annual Fan Fest, and to inspire them to express their passions freely. Like Adobe, I believe creativity lives everywhere, and I hope this night empowers everyone to share their unique voices.”
