Calgary is 100 days out from its annual celebration of all things western and to kick it all off, Canada’s queen of country music will get the party started.

The Stampede said she’s set to bring her powerhouse performance as part of the event’s concert series at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday, July 5.

Twain, who last performed at the Stampede in 2014, said Calgary and all of Alberta has always held a special place in her heart.

“The Calgary Stampede is an amazing celebration of Western heritage and culture and embodies the true spirit of Calgarians and Canadians,” she said.

Born and raised in Timmins, Ont., Twain is a five-time Grammy winner and one of music’s most renowned trailblazers.

Twain broke out globally in the mid-’90s with her sophomore album, The Woman in Me.
