Shania Twain
The iconic Stampede Parade presented by Suncor returns on Friday, July 4, to kick off The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.
This year we are honoured to announce that Canada’s own country music superstar Shania Twain will lead the 2025 Stampede Parade presented by Suncor.
“The city of Calgary and the province of Alberta have always held a very special place in my heart,” says Twain. “The Calgary Stampede is an amazing celebration of Western heritage and culture and embodies the true spirit of Calgarians and Canadians. I look forward to being part of it again, not only playing at the Saddledome on the first Saturday of Stampede, but also on horseback riding through the streets of downtown Calgary.”
A global superstar, celebrated songwriter and style icon, Twain is a five-time GRAMMY winner and one of music and fashion’s most renowned trailblazers. With six albums released and more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, Twain remains the top-selling female country pop artist of all time and is set to bring her powerhouse performance as part of the Stampede Concert Series to the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday, July 5.
