Bazini's album, Where I Belong, was the best-selling Canadian album of 2014 and was nominated for two JUNO awards (Fan Choice and Album of the Year). Brody, whose latest album, Gypsy Road, is making waves across the country, earned Canadian Country Music and JUNO Awards for Country Album of the Year for his last album Crop Circles. As for Fall Out Boy, well, you may know them from such hits as Centuries, Sugar, My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark, and We're Goin' Down. You may also recall that the band — singer-guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley — made a failed bid to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by playing on all seven continents in 2008. Weather woes forced them to cancel a planned gig in Antarctica, but Winnipeg may just provide a polar experience to remember. (Wentz and lead vocalist Stump did make the Guinness book for doing the most interviews within a 24-hour period when they were promoting their album Folie a Deux the same year.) Fall Out Boy are the fourth American act to headline a Grey Cup halftime show. The Black Eyed Peas, Lenny Kravitz and Imagine Dragons have all performed over the past decade. [
