Staff WriterImagine the sun dipping behind the tall pines of Bolingbrook Golf Club, the final birdie conceded, and—just as the gallery stirs for the eighteenth green—Good Charlotte storms the stage.
That’s right: on Saturday, August 9 at 5:00 p.m., multi-platinum rockers Joel Madden and company will trade tees for tunes at LIV Golf Chicago.
Tournament Stage & Atmosphere
Bolingbrook has long been a test of shot-shaping and nerves. This year, as the golden hour bathes the rolling fairways, you’ll hear more than the gentle thwack of irons—you’ll feel the charge of an arena.
Speaker arrays flank the green, and the echo of a perfectly struck nine-iron mixes with opening chords.
It’s classic golf lore—sunset tee times, caddie-quiet etiquette—meets a festival vibe that says, “Bring your best ear for both birdies and basslines.”
Good Charlotte’s Performance & Pivotal Moments
From Waldorf, Maryland, to stadiums worldwide, Good Charlotte have built anthems that stick like a well-played four-iron.
Expect raw emotion—“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” kicking off with cheeky timing as the leaders approach the green.
Watch for surprise covers (a little golf-themed twist, perhaps?) and a full-throated “The Anthem” sing-along that’ll leave even the most stoic fan tapping their foot in five-wheeled golf carts.
“We’ve always done things our own way and LIV Golf feels right in line with that,” said Good Charlotte lead vocalist Joel Madden. “We are big fans of golf and excited we get to come be a part of the experience with everyone at LIV Golf Chicago.”
No fluff—these guys earn every chord.
Innovation & Future Watch
Beyond Chicago, whispers swirl of holographic caddie cams and player-mic’d fairway rides. New broadcast features will let you angle your virtual camera right beside the drummer’s kick pedal.
And rumour has it, emerging acts—perhaps a surprise DJ set between groups—will take centre stage at upcoming stops. LIV Golf is betting on a future where every shot and solo is just a click away.
“LIV Golf is redefining what it means to attend a golf tournament, and bringing in a band like Good Charlotte amplifies that vision,” said Ross Hallett, LIV Golf Executive Vice President and Head of Events. “We are excited about the amazing artists we have lined up for our final events of the season and having Good Charlotte’s bold sound kick us off in Chicago is a perfect match for the atmosphere of LIV Golf. Fans can expect an unforgettable show and memorable weekend.”
Verdict & Call to Action
Skip the ninth hole for a front-row Concert Pit ticket—it’s worth every step.
Whether you’re chasing birdies or bass drops, August 9 is your date with golf-meets-rock history.
