Calgary Stampede, July 4: Live parade coverage Stampede fuels tourism ambitions
Article content Hundreds of thousands of spectators are expected to line the streets of downtown Calgary for the 2025 Stampede Parade. Article content This year, the parade will be led by country music superstar Shania Twain as marshal. Article content The parade prelude performances begin at 7:45 a.m., and the parade itself kicks off at 9 a.m. Seating fills up quickly, though, so many choose to arrive as early as 5 or 6 a.m. to get the best view. Article content Article content Article content Once the parade is over, make your way to Stampede Park for free admission from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Article content Article content NEED TO KNOW: STAMPEDE 101 Article content Article content It's hard to believe this band has been plying its trade since founders Neil Osborne and Brad Merritt met as high-school students back in 1978 (!). Bubbling up from Vancouver's fertile punk scene, the band developed a singular post-punk sound that relied on straight-ahead riffs and Osborne's catchy-as-hell songwriting. These days, it's easy to forget just how many hits there were: Baby Ran, I Go Blind, One Day in Your Life, Once Gun, Ocean Pearl, Baby Have Some Faith, She-La. So if you want to escape the twang for a night — granted, 1998's Lost and Lazy is not without its rootsy underpinnings — check out these Canadian icons.

I saw Anastacia live at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall
There is no mistaking the incredible voice of Anastacia. The US singer was a complete powerhouse as she hit the high notes at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall on Friday night. Coming through a door on stage, the petite star oozed with confidence as she belted out One Day in Your Life.

Her vocals are soulful, sultry, and rocky all at once—it's a joy to hear. Beaming from ear to ear, she said: 'Well, what's going on Glasgow? 'Oh my gosh. You are all so delicious.' Taking in the reaction of the crowd, who were going wild for the Chicago native, she laughed: 'You're up for it?' (Image: Anastacia live in Glasgow at the Royal Concert Hall April 25, 2025.

Revealing she had a fried Mars Bar, she told her fans: 'I'm kinda addicted to the fact you guys like to fry a lot of s**t here. 'Do we have to leave here tonight?' And the resounding wish from the crowd was no - they were wanting to soak in every minute of the star who was in the city celebrating 25 years since the release of her debut Not That Kind.

She could easily slot into a hall of vocal fame occupied by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, or Mariah Carey, she's that good. She proved this on a cover of the Guns N' Roses smash hit Sweet Child O' Mine, she sounded sensational. While Outside Alone, Not That Kind, and the song that made Anastacia a global phenomenon, I'm Outta Love rounded off a spectacular show.
