Country Stars To Headline Grey Cup Halftime Show
A trio of country music’s shining stars will unite for a one-time-only collaboration for this year’s Twisted Tea Grey Cup Halftime Show.
The Canadian Football League (CFL) will welcome Jordan Davis, Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line, and Canada’s own Josh Ross to the stage at the 109th Grey Cup from Saskatchewan’s Mosaic Stadium on Sunday, November 20.
The championship contest and the halftime spectacular will be broadcast live on TSN and RDS – Canada’s home of the CFL.
Davis said he’s looking forward to it.
“It’s always great to play in Canada, and I can’t wait to soak in the energy and vibe of Grey Cup. Canadian music fans are some of the best in the world. Playing for them, especially with Tyler and Josh, will make for an incredibly special night that I’ll never forget.”
Tyler Hubbard echoed Davis’s sentiments when reflecting on the opportunity ahead.
“It’s an exciting opportunity to be asked to play the halftime show for such a huge event like the Grey Cup. I love playing in Canada because the fans always bring a great energy to the shows, so performing my music for the country music fans and for the passionate football fans is going to be quite an experience! I’m really looking forward to being a part of this iconic event.”
The pair will be joined on the Twisted Tea Grey Cup Halftime Show stage by Burlington, native Josh Ross, whose performance will be the realization of two childhood dreams.
“Growing up, football was everything, and like so many young Canadians, the Grey Cup was the goal. Injuries led me on a different path, and now, music is my greatest passion and the stage is where I’m living my dreams. So to see these two paths come together, and lead to Saskatchewan – life is funny sometimes, but it’s also perfect.”
Ross played defensive back for Western University Mustang before he turned to music.
