When was the last time the Halftime show was announced this early?

It’s a notable name but more impressed that something is locked in already

[BomberJunkie]

I can’t in recent memory one being named this early, as uninterested as I am about the Jonas Brothers. Maybe this gives TSN a whole season to interview them instead of during the biggest game of the year.

No way! This is gonna be so cool!

Wish I could agree with you.

I hope Nick Jonas’ wife makes the trip!

To each their own. I think it must be very tough to get a halftime band that everyone will enjoy.

You might not love the Jonas Brothers but I think they’re pretty high energy and should put on a good live show.

I also don’t want to assume too much here but you might not be the target age range for this announcement

The Jonas Brothers are Disney stars and people who grew up watching them on Disney Channel, like me, are going to be looking twice.

Give this a watch! They put on a show!

Think the CFL is going after a different age bracket. I do not blame them as they need to get the younger generation into the seats.

Just not my cup of tea.

No surprise we are on the same page here. The target age bracket for this band ends with the letters “teen”. I have no problem with the league trying to attract a younger crowd and that is what they should be doing.

Alas, there will be a cosmic drop off in talent and quality of music from Green Day. This is more like most Grey Cup and Super Bowl half time shows, crap musically.

Since it was announced so early this year, I will also announce that I have already scheduled doing the dishes during this half time show.

This we can agree on. Green Day was awesome.

Not gonna lie, DNCE’s lead guitarist, Jinjoo Lee, absolutely does it for me.

I like the Jonas Bros. I think its a good call… they will draw in the much-needed younger crowd, plus even some old guys like me. Just because the kids like them, it doesn’t mean they have to be bad.

[Hammertown_Proud]

this is great news!

The Jonas Brothers would have been boo’d in Hamilton. Arkells and Green Day are more our flavour.

But in BC? This is perfect! Good on the CFL and BC for recognizing their audience.

…Hard to beat last years show, Green Day was excellent, maybe the best half time show I’ve ever seen & I can’t even claim to be a big fan. I might watch this one though, we can burn that awful memory of that hodge podge country ‘act’ from a couple of years ago.

Yeah, Green Day was awesome

[Jymn]

I can see appealing to a younger demo but a teenybopper band that mostly appeals to women? Not sure it’s the right demo for football.

Women can’t like football?

I mean maybe women who are fans of the JB will bring their boyfriends/families to the game. Regardless, new eyes on the league can’t be a bad thing.

Over the last few years, I do like to believe the CFL has been as strong as its ever been. Personally, although I enjoy watching both leagues, don’t believe the NFL has anything over the CFL. Look forward to a team on the East Coast, as well, can’t wait for the folks (or more folks) in Toronto to embrace this great league.
Finally, its amazing what great ownership and some patience can do for a franchise as the BC Lions organization with their new ownership looks better than ever. Congratulations.
Go Blue:)

[prairiewolf77]

Just amazed at how early they announced this.
Know of the names of jonas brothers, not familiar with their music. I am sure it will be good.

Not sure if JB are necessarily teen target audience. Werent they around like 20 years ago and the then stopped for a decade and now restarted. Arent they all in their mid 30’s.

If they performed last year in Vancouver it must have went well.

There isnt an act that everyone will like.

[MaineCoonPal]

I do not like the Jonas Brothers and I am not happy about them appearing on the Grey Cup halftime show. I will be watching the Grey Cup but not the half time show. Bring music that football fans want

I might agree with you on Green Day- I tried practicing Boulevard of Broken Dreams on my guitar one time. But sorry, I think of anything worse than the Jonas Brothers
