Calgary – The Calgary Stampede is world renowned as The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth for many reasons, one of which is that it’s one of Canada’s largest music festivals. Each year the Coca-Cola Stage presents some of the biggest names in music, and 2011 is no exception. The much-anticipated Coca-Cola Covert Concert held tonight at Flames Central featured performances by Hollerado and The Trews, two of this year’s headline performers on the Coca-Cola Stage.

The Trews, Mother Mother, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Finger Eleven, Kevin Costner & Modern West, Finger Eleven and Shawn Desman are just some of the performers who will rock the stage this July. “I’m proud that we’ve put together such a diverse and popular set of acts,” says Jim Laurendeau, director, Stampede Programming. “I can’t wait for what is sure to be 11 days of great music on the Coca-Cola Stage.” Concerts on the Coca-Cola Stage are free with admission to Stampede Park.
