Alanis Morissette, the iconic Canadian alt-rock singer-songwriter, is set to perform at the Calgary Stampede on July 11, 2026. This highly anticipated performance will take place at the Scotiabank Saddledome as part of the Calgary Stampede Concert Series, an event known for featuring a variety of artists and genres.
Morissette, who gained fame in the 1990s with her seminal album "Jagged Little Pill," has continued to have a significant impact on the music industry. This groundbreaking album not only earned her five Grammy Awards and six Juno Awards, but it has also sold over 33 million copies worldwide, establishing her as one of the best-selling artists of all time. Since the release of "Jagged Little Pill," she has produced nine additional critically acclaimed albums, cementing her legacy in rock music.
Aside from her musical accomplishments, Morissette has also ventured into the theater world. The stage adaptation of her landmark album, titled "Jagged Little Pill: The Musical," premiered on Broadway in 2019 and achieved notable recognition, earning 15 Tony Award nominations and winning two. This success further showcases her versatility as an artist and solidifies her influence beyond conventional music.
In 2024, Morissette continued to tour in celebration of her illustrious career, embarking on the Triple Moon Tour, which featured Joan Jett and the Blackhearts as a supporting act. This tour not only highlighted her celebrated catalogue but also demonstrated her ability to resonate with audiences, particularly during her 25th anniversary tour of "Jagged Little Pill," which became the highest-grossing female-fronted tour of the year.
Alongside Morissette, American rapper A$AP Rocky is also slated to perform at the Calgary Stampede on July 4, adding a diverse musical element to this year’s line-up. The Stampede is renowned for its lively atmosphere and performances, with last year’s event including well-known artists such as Shania Twain, Simple Plan, and the Arkells, enhancing its reputation as a premier musical festival.
This announcement of Alanis Morissette’s performance at the 2026 Calgary Stampede underscores her enduring popularity and the high expectations fans have as she continues to engage with new generations through her powerful music and performances. As the event date approaches, anticipation is building for what promises to be a remarkable show at one of Canada’s most beloved cultural events.
