Stampede's Coke Stage lineup features Allesia Cara, Carly Rae Jepsen and The New Pornographers
Music fans will have an abundance of free shows at their disposal during the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, including the debut of an all new Coca-Cola Stage on the grounds.
The Calgary Stampede released this year's "Coke Stage" lineup on Thursday, a day after the Nashville North lineup was unveiled.
In 2022, the venue will be found along the banks of the Elbow River in the southwest corner of the grounds, instead of at its familiar haunt near Weadickville.
The new spot should hold about 7,000 people.
Organizers have yet to commit to a permanent home for the stage, but say the southwest lot will be a great temporary location for this year as BMO Centre construction is completed.
Headliners include Milky Chance, Allesia Cara, Milky Chance, Kaskede, Alexisonfire, Cold War Kids, Tokyo Police Club and The New Pornographers.
Local Kyle McKearney will also bring his unique Americana sound to one of his favourite stages.
"I think a lot of people, myself included, see that as kind of a pinnacle in one's career," he told CTV News. "There's definitely something about a nice day outside when the Coke Stage is happening and there's people present and the artists are up there are killing it. It's a vibe for sure."
All Coca-Cola Stage and Nashville North performances are free with admission to Stampede Park.
Organizers are hoping to bring in a lot of guests after a disappointing few years.
"If you close your eyes and think about what made you fall in love with Stampede in the first place, we'll have it on offer this year," director of programming Kyle Russell said. "We are just so thrilled to have the Stampede back in full force and welcome guests back."
