SHOW BIO
The first-ever Stampede Bowl will take place on Thursday, July 3 at McMahon Stadium when the Stampeders host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The contest, which will pit the Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers against one another, will feature a performance from Bret Michaels at halftime.

The veteran rocker, who was the frontman for Poison, has hits including “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Go That Far,” and “Nothin’ But A Good Time.” The 62-year-old has also experienced prominence on TV with Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It, and The Masked Singer.

The winner of the game will take home the Stampede Bowl Trophy, while team presidents Jay McNeil and Wade Miller have made a friendly wager: the losing team will make a $25,000 donation to Purolator Tackle Hunger in the winning team’s market. A video message from new CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston will also be played for fans.
