The 100th Grey Cup will feature one of the greatest collections of Canadian
musical talent ever assembled, including Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen,
Marianas Trench, and Gordon Lightfoot lighting up the Sirius XM Grey Cup
Half-Time Show on November 25. Leading up to the championship game, Burton
Cummings and Johnny Reid will headline a special Kick-Off Show at Rogers Centre
in Toronto.
The 100th Grey Cup airs live on TSN, TSN Mobile TV, and on TSN Radio and TEAM
Radio stations across the country. Live radio streaming of the 100th Grey Cup
is also available on TSN.ca. French-language coverage of the 100th Grey Cup is
available on RDS.
"We are absolutely thrilled to unveil an All-Canadian, All-Star line-up that
features the biggest pop star in the world, the woman who gave us one of the
biggest songs ever, one of the hottest young bands in the country, an iconic
balladeer, a rock-and-roll legend, and one of this country's leading
entertainers," said Mark Cohon, Commissioner of the Canadian Football
League.
"This array of stars will command a huge and diverse audience, entertaining
our most loyal fans and attracting new ones to our game's greatest showcase. It
spans genres and generations. And it's quintessentially Canadian and
undoubtedly world class, at the same time."
"Congratulations to the CFL for assembling such an outstanding array of
homegrown musical talent for the one of the biggest sporting events in Canadian
history – the 100th Grey Cup," said Stewart Johnston, President, TSN. "The
addition of these artists to the CFL's biggest stage will certainly make TSN's
broadcast of the 100th Grey Cup even more extraordinary. We are extremely
excited to bring live coverage of this unforgettable event to fans across the
country."
"From the day we started planning the 100th Grey Cup, we declared it would be
a celebration of our storied past and our bright future," Cohon added.
"The superbly talented performers who will grace this grand stage symbolize
the fact that our game – and the enduring symbol of national unity and pride
that is the Grey Cup – belongs to every Canadian and every generation. And we
couldn't be prouder or more excited."

Since when was the CFL's demographic a bunch of teenage or not quite teenage girls. This is terrible!
I'd rather see the pre-game show than the halftime show.

Love Mariannas Trench !!!
Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, please what are we a bunch of teenagers - I don't think so. The pre-game show will be better. Think I'll just sit at the bar during the half-time show.
