The Invictus Games Toronto 2017 Closing Ceremony just got even bigger.
Bruce Springsteen has been added to the list of star-studded performers at this year’s event. The rock legend joins the likes of Bryan Adams, Kelly Clarkson, Bachman & Turner and Coeur de pirate.
The closing ceremony takes place at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Sept. 30; you can buy your tickets for the event here. Tickets start at $60.
“At the Invictus Games, it’s not just about the hurdles that competitors experienced during competition, but about overcoming the obstacles that life has presented them,” Springsteen said about the event.
“The Games are a remarkable opportunity for brothers and sisters in arms to join forces and demonstrate the true strength of their spirit. It is an absolute honour and privilege to perform for them at the Closing Ceremony as a send-off to a week of competition in Toronto,” the singer said in a statement.
Wounded and/or handicapped military personnel from the Commonwealth Realms participate in The Invictus Games, created in 2014 by Prince Harry.

“Talk about closing the Games with a bang! We couldn’t be more thrilled that the iconic Bruce Springsteen is joining an already outstanding lineup of Closing Ceremony talent,” Michael Burns, CEO of the Invictus Games Toronto 2017 Organizing Committee said about the lineup addition. “We wanted to deliver memories from these Games in Toronto, and this represents the culmination of two years of planning and work.”
The Opening Ceremony lineup is just as spectacular. Alessia Cara, Sarah McLachlan, La Bottine Souriante and The Tenors will kick off the games on Sept. 23.
