National Amusements and the Kraft Group plan to launch Showcase Live!, a 16,000-square foot live entertainment venue. It will be located next to the 14-screen Showcase Cinema de Lux located adjacent to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

Artist booking and promotion will be conducted through a partnership with the Blue Note Entertainment Group owned by the Bensusan family of the Blue Note Jazz Clubs, B.B. King Blues Club and the Highline Ballroom in New York.

Artists already confirmed to play Showcase Live! in its inaugural year include Chaka Khan, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Squeeze, Peter Frampton, Average White Band and Johnny Winter.

Showcase Live! will debut at Patriot Place in August.
