Last week, billboards hinted that the band would be performing in the Queen City.

The $278-million, city-owned stadium had its first test-run on Oct. 1, when 16,500 ticket-holders gathered for a game between the University of Regina Rams and the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.

Tickets go on sale Dec. 9 at 9 a.m. The band will also be performing in Winnipeg and Edmonton.
