Legendary Rock Band Creed Set to Headline Country Thunder Saskatchewan
Country Thunder Saskatchewan has made a groundbreaking announcement that is set to rock the Canadian prairies. The festival has confirmed that multi-platinum rock band Creed will be taking the stage as one of the headline acts for their 2025 edition. This marks a significant expansion of the festival's musical diversity, traditionally known for its country music focus.
From Baltimore to Saskatchewan: Creed's Return
The announcement, made on November 20, 2025, comes as exciting news for rock fans across Western Canada. Frontman Scott Stapp, whose powerful vocals defined Creed's signature sound, will lead the band's performance. Stapp, shown in archival concert photos from his 2014 solo performance at Baltimore's Soundstage, continues to be recognized for his dynamic stage presence and emotional delivery.
The band's most iconic hit, "With Arms Wide Open," which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song, is expected to be a highlight of their Saskatchewan performance. The song's enduring popularity ensures that both longtime fans and new listeners will be eagerly anticipating this rare Canadian appearance.
Expanding Musical Horizons in Saskatchewan
This booking represents a strategic move by Country Thunder organizers to broaden the festival's appeal beyond traditional country music audiences. The inclusion of a major rock act like Creed demonstrates the festival's commitment to providing diverse musical experiences for attendees while maintaining its country roots.
Country Thunder Saskatchewan has established itself as one of the province's premier music events, attracting thousands of visitors annually. The addition of Creed to the 2025 lineup is expected to draw even larger crowds, particularly from rock music enthusiasts who may not have previously attended the country-focused festival.
Festival organizers have indicated that additional lineup announcements will be made in the coming months, with country artists expected to round out the main stage performances. The 2025 event promises to be one of the most musically diverse editions in the festival's history.
