Hallelujah! Leonard Cohen coming back to Calgary

Nothing says Stampede quite like "Snoop Dogg's coming!"

Get ready to head on down to the Cowboy's Stampede Tent on Sunday, July 15 for what is sure to be an interesting show, to say the least. Snoop Dogg and special guest will be performing in all his glory, tickets $59.95 and $69.95 plus s/c here. (Will the special guest be Tupac? I'll bet it's Tupac. It's most likely not Tupac).
