Bachman & Turner to rock Grey Cup
Randy Bachman and Fred Turner will take their reunion act to the halftime show at this year’s Grey Cup on Nov. 28.
Bachman & Turner, who are touring together 20 years after they created songs such as Taking Care of Business for Bachman Turner Overdrive, will headline the show, the CFL announced Sunday.
“The Grey Cup is the battle of the titans, east versus west, and pure Canadiana,” Bachman said in a statement.
“Played over the years in snow and ice and sleet, it’s like a great Canadian band that drives through a blizzard to get to a gig. The show always goes on and it’s always a great show.”
Bachman and Turner will play before a sold-out crowd in Edmonton.
The pair released a new album, Bachman & Turner, and new singles, Rolling Along and Slave to the Rhythm, earlier this year. It’s their first major collaboration together since 1984.
The musicians are to be celebrated next March for their achievements and contributions to rock history with an induction to the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame.
