Riley Green, Sarah McLachlan set for Grey Cup at Calgary's McMahon Stadium
The Nov. 15 Grey Cup will feature the Canadian Forces Snowbirds' final official flypast before the fleet retires.
Why it matters
Calgary hosts this year's Grey Cup, bringing a high-profile entertainment lineup and a symbolic Snowbirds flypast to McMahon Stadium.
The Canadian Football League has announced its entertainment lineup for this year's Grey Cup, scheduled for Nov. 15 at Calgary's McMahon Stadium. American country star Riley Green will headline the halftime show, while Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan will perform the national anthem.
McLachlan's anthem performance will coincide with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds' last official flypast before the aerobatic team's fleet is retired. Green, who coaches on the U.S. singing competition "The Voice," won song of the year and single of the year at last year's Country Music Association Awards for his duet with Ella Langley, "You Look Like You Love Me."
Pre-game festivities will include a special guest appearance from Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, whose song "Hasn't Hit Me Yet" recently stirred patriotic attention, along with a performance by country group James Barker Band.
