112th Grey Cup Halftime Show: Machine Gun Kelly to Headline with Our Lady Peace and Catie St. Germain
Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has been selected as the halftime performer for the 112th Grey Cup, set to take place on November 16 at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg. The 35-year-old artist from Houston, Texas is known for his versatile music style that blends elements of hip-hop, pop, rock, and rap. MGK received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album in 2023 for his album "Mainstream Sellout." Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace will kick off the event with a performance at the Grey Cup Kickoff Show, and Catie St. Germain, a native of Niverville, Man., will sing the national anthem.
CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston expressed excitement about the lineup, stating that the music and performances will complement the on-field action and entertainment. The Grey Cup will mark the second time the championship game is held at Princess Auto Stadium and the fifth time in Winnipeg. The venue last hosted the event in 2015, with Fall Out Boy headlining the halftime show as the Edmonton Football Team emerged victorious over the Ottawa Redblacks.
As the Grey Cup approaches, seven teams are vying for a spot in the championship game, with the Redblacks and Toronto Argonauts already eliminated. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have secured first place in the West Division, while the B.C. Lions, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and Montreal Alouettes have clinched playoff berths. The final two playoff spots will be determined among the Calgary Stampeders, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and Edmonton Elks.
In conclusion, the 112th Grey Cup promises to deliver an unforgettable experience with a diverse lineup of musical performances and exciting football action. Fans can look forward to an electrifying halftime show by Machine Gun Kelly, along with other talented artists, as the CFL championship game unfolds at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg.
