The CFL announced today that the Black Eyed Peas will be performing 3 songs at halftime of the Grey Cup on November 27 at BC Place in Vancouver.

Jully Black, who has opened for the Peas on their current tour, will sing the national anthem before the game.

The performance will air on the live television broadcast of the game, but no mention of who that broadcaster will be was announced.

CBC is the usual broadcaster for the game, but in light of its current labour situation, the CFL been moving some games over to TSN, including this past Monday’s Toronto vs. Hamilton Labour Day Classic game, which drew a network record for a regular season game with 791,000 viewers, compared to 584,000 for CBC’s Edmonton vs. Calgary game, without broadcasters.

In conjunction with this announcement, Best Buy announced a contest to send 10 fans to Vancouver for the game with field level tickets, and backstage passes to meet the Black Eyed Peas.

The CFL made the announcement as “Don’t Phunk With My Heart” spent much of the summer on top of the charts, and “Don’t Lie” is currently near the top. No word on whether they’ve told Fergie “Don’t have a wardrobe malfunction on stage.”
