Attend Show After Show

The Calgary Stampede gives you the chance to see some of your favourite artists in-between rides and mini donuts.

Each year the Stampede Concert Series brings the worlds most iconic chart-toppers to rock the famous Scotiabank Saddledome. Past artists include Garth Brooks, Katy Perry, Keith Urban, Pitbull — and the list goes on. This year the Stampede welcomes Shania Twain.

Nashville North, the original Stampede party tent, hosts an all-star lineup year after year. In 2025, the Nashville North stage will play host to country music stars Tenille Townes, Jade Eagleson, Cole Swindell, The Reklaws, and Mackenzie Porter, among others.

Check out The Big Four Roadhouse for a unique venue offering live music, food, drinks, lawn games, and an often needed respite from the summer sun. The 2025 headliners are still to be announced.

The Calgary Stampede's iconic Coca-Cola stage includes performances from top artists to rising stars. From rock to hip hop, pop, and EDM, this multi-genre lineup has something for everyone. Shows are free with gate admission to the grounds, with the stage set up among the midway rides and food vendors. This year's line-up is still to be announced

The Grandstand Show is a Stampede classic that includes music, performances, spectacular stunts, and jaw-dropping pyrotechnics.

Test your skills and spin, twist, and tilt your way through the rides and create some new Stampede memories this summer.
