Restaurants near Promenade Park also excited about the concert announcement and some are already preparing for the big crowds.
Focaccia's in Downtown Toledo has been planning for the return of events this summer.
Monday's announcement is huge news for the restaurant and its prime location to the action.
The Solheim Cup is expected to bring thousands of people to the area and having two big music artists right in downtown Toledo is exciting for Focaccia's owner, Ed Beczynski.
He's adding a new patio connecting to the restaurant on the Summit Street side that will allow for an additional 70 seats.
After the year Beczynski and many other business owners have gone through, he says the announcement couldn't be better timing.
He says Focaccias is in the perfect spot, right across the street from where the artists will perform.
"All this great news. From the Mud Hens home opener, the Walleye, Solheim and then the announcement today of the concerts. It just keeps getting better and we're crossing our fingers that it all happens" Focaccia's owner, Ed Beczynski said. "We're excited to have that many people come to Toledo from all over the world. It's exciting".
The patio will be open at the beginning of June which he says, is perfect because there's already been an increase in people going out. It will also going to have a 12x8-foot TV screen.
