Nickelback Perform at Grey Cup Halftime Show

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 28th, 2011

The band everyone loves to hate performed at the 99th Grey Cup halftime show this weekend in Vancouver.

For a band that gets trashed and mocked constantly by music enthusiasts, they still manage to sell millions of records. So, perhaps it’s not all that shocking to see them take the stage at the most important Canadian football game.

Reactions went through the roof in the Twitterverse when the band began to rock out.

One Vancouver M.P. came to the band’s defence. James Moore tweeted “Nickelback @ Grey Cup – v.solid. Bashing them is cliche & overdone.”

A writer for Maclean’s Magazine, Paul Wells, also showed he’s Team Nickelback by writing: “Mocking a halftime show by Nickelback at a football game has got to be the lowest conceivable cost-of-entry into hipsterism.”

Those average Joes watching the show were live tweeting with comments like “Due to a coal shortage, Santa will be giving all bad little boys and girls Nickelback CDs.” and “Yeah, no. Nickelback is like the worst band ever.”

I can’t wait to see how many viewers this year’s half-time show garnered compared to last year’s show (I’m assuming a more respectable band played). If you missed out on the performance, check out the video below.

Glee’s Cory Monteith Named Grey Cup Grand Marshal

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 18th, 2011

Since landing the role of Finn on the hit show Glee, everyone wants a piece of Cory Monteith, even football players.

CTV explains the Chairman of the Safeway Grey Cup Festival Parade has appointed Cory as the Grand Marshall taking place around the end of November in his home province of British Columbia.

What exactly is a Grand Marshall, you ask? Well, we don’t really know! We do know it’s the highest honorary postion at a parade. Maybe Cory will be donning a football uniform while holding a baton?

Cory released a statement saying: “I love any excuse to come home and this is a thrilling one.”

Grey Cup Festival Details Announced

Posted by andPOP Staff on May 29th, 2007

Less than 5,000 tickets remain for the 2007 Grey Cup, being held in Toronto on November 25. But if you’re not one of the lucky ones attending CFL’s big game, not to worry – there will be plenty of other events to attend, as part of the Grey Cup Festival.

And you don’t even have to be a football fan.

Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus will host the “Celebrity Party” at the CN Tower featuring a performance by Blue Rodeo.

Dan Aykroyd will host a tribute to the late John Candy, the onetime part owner of the Toronto Argonauts.

Concerts throughout the four festival days will include the Barenaked Ladies, Hinder, Great Big Sea, Lowest of the Low and the yet-to-be-named halftime act.

Plus, Corner Gas star Brent Butt and the Trailer Park Boys will be among the celebs popping up.

The festival begins on Thursday, when the Metro Toronto Convention Centre will host the CFL Players Pigskin Classic featuring quarterbacks from non-Grey Cup teams.
