Running for ten nights from July 3 to 12, the show brings together music, stunts, and fireworks in one of Canada’s most iconic cultural celebrations.
The Grandstand Show will be headlined by High Valley. The Alberta-born group, and the top-selling Canadian band in country music, is set to perform each night.
Lead singer Brad Rempel called the opportunity to headline in Alberta “incredibly special,” pointing to the band’s connection to the province.
The show layers in returning staples like the Young Canadians and the Grandstand Band, alongside a live DJ blending country with EDM. From there, the lineup shifts into high-impact performances. The Bello Sisters bring strength-based acrobatics, while Duo Soma adds a suspension act built around precision and control.

The Gardiner Brothers, known for their five world titles, introduce a modern Irish dance set, and The Sylla Brothers perform the Wheel of Death, a rotating apparatus designed to push performers to their limits.
Producer Mark Eriksen described the theme as a mix of Western tradition and high-end production, aiming for something that feels both familiar and unexpected.
Above the stage, a redesigned drone and pyrotechnic show, set to High Valley’s music, adds another layer. Each night wraps with the Grandstand fireworks finale.
The Grandstand Show is part of the Calgary Stampede Evening Show, beginning at 7:15 p.m. Those attending the Evening Show can also enjoy the thrilling Chuckwagon Races, a staple of the Calgary Stampede. The Indigenous Relay Racing teams will showcase their impressive skills at the Calgary Stampede. Riders race bareback at high speeds, swap horses, and continue their lightning-fast laps, creating an adrenaline-fueled spectacle at the conclusion of the Chuckwagon Races.
The Calgary Stampede Evening Show begins with Chuckwagon Races and concludes with the Grandstand Show.
