Imagine Dragons to play Grey Cup 2014 Vancouver half-time show
Las Vegas-based band Imagine Dragons will take to the stage at this year’s 102nd Grey Cup halftime show held at Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium.
The Canadian Football League’s championship match is scheduled for November 30 at BC Place Stadium, culminating five days of pre-game festivities in the city.
“We’re thrilled to be coming to the Grey Cup to entertain CFL fans in Vancouver and right across Canada,” said the Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds (vocals). “Canada has supported us from the beginning so it’s always exciting to go back.”
The Grammy Award-winning band previously performed in Vancouver in February at Rogers Arena. They were also in the city in 2013, playing at the Commodore Ballroom.
Imagine Dragons attained popular success following the 2012 release of their debut full length studio album Night Visions, with 2x platinum selling single “It’s Time”, 7x platinum follow-up “Radioactive” and the 5x platinum “Demons”. Rolling Stone proclaimed Imagine Dragons “the biggest breakout of the year” and Entertainment Weekly called 2013 the “Year of the Dragons.
