WINNIPEG – The Canadian Football League announced Tuesday that Grammy-nominated rock group Fall Out Boy will take to Canada’s biggest stage at the 103rd Grey Cup presented by Shaw, performing at the Nissan Titan Halftime Show on November 29th in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Canada’s biggest annual sporting event will be broadcast live on television on TSN, RDS and ESPN2 and on TSN radio and Sirius XM satellite radio beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
The Sirius XM Kickoff Show will feature 2014 Juno Award and 10-time CCMA Award winning artist Dean Brody. Brody’s most recent album Gypsy Road has earned him his second PLATINUM single, “Bring Down The House.” Recently wrapping a 22-city, 7000 km national tour, Brody will head to Nashville in early 2016 to perform at The Grand Ole Opry.
“I always have a great time in Winnipeg but playing at the Grey Cup – Canada’s greatest sporting party is going to be awesome,” Brody stated. “As a kid, nothing was bigger than my dream to be a punter in the CFL. I won’t get to punt on November 29 but I will get to play music and that’s definitely cool. The guys and I can’t wait!
This year, the Canadian national anthem will be performed by Quebec singer-songwriter Bobby Bazini. The two-time Juno Award nominee will perform the anthems in both French and English prior to kickoff. Bobby Bazini’s 2014 album Where I Belong was one of the best-selling albums in Canada.
Nissan, the official automotive partner of the CFL, is gearing up for the 103rd Grey Cup by supporting several fan-focused events. The Nissan Titan Street Festival will take over the University of Winnipeg in downtown Winnipeg, and will feature the MacDon Fan Experience and Family Zone full of fun, educational, and interactive activities for all ages. It will also feature free live entertainment by local and national artists at both the Nissan Titan Street Festival Main Stage and Nissan Titan Street Festival Promenade Tent, giveaways, mascots and more.
