Country singer Shania Twain has confirmed that she will be performing her first show outside of Las Vegas in a decade. The “You’re Still The One” signer will go back to her native Canada for a performance at the Calgary Stampede.
Twain confirmed the news today on Twitter, posting a 24-second video of herself from Switzerland in the snow. “I'm coming home sweet home soon,” she said, reports People. “I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the Calgary Stampede.”
Adam Oppenheim, the managing director for Stampede Concerts Inc., told The Calgary Herald that having Twain perform there is an “incredible” opportunity. “She is beloved by so many and we couldn’t be happier that Stampede fans and visitors will be able to see her first concert outside of Vegas in more than 10 years,” he added.
The show on July 9 is part of the Virgin Mobile Stampede Concert Series. Tickets will be available starting Jan. 24 at 10 a.m.
Twain is about to start a Las Vegas residency at the Caesars Palace Colosseum, which runs from Jan. 22 to Feb. 15. Twain’s last album, Up!, was released in 2002, but the singer’s hits, which also include “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” still remain popular.
So excited to announce that I will be playing the @calgarystampede on July 9! Tickets on-sale Jan. 24! #Stampede2014 http://t.co/3KfvS6mgxy
