The CFL made the announcement Saturday night during halftime of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats-Calgary Stampeders game at Tim Hortons Field. The Grey Cup game will be held Nov. 19 in Hamilton.

鈥淵ou better be ready because we鈥檙e about to turn the Grey Cup green and into the loudest f* night in CFL history,鈥 the band said in a statement.
