Kiesza and Aloe Blacc will perform in the Opening Spectacular of the Rose Parade, the Tournament of Roses announced on Wednesday, Dec. 11.
Kiesza, backed by 20 dancers in shimmering reflective costumes, is set to kick off the parade.
Her hit, “Hideaway,” dominated global charts a decade ago. She will reprise it with renewed energy for the global audience, organizers said. Plus, the Tournament of Roses said it will get a glimpse of her Billboard No. 1 hit, “I Go Dance,” while in the backdrop, extreme acrobats on jumping stilts will perform.
It all will happen atop the float by Honda, called “Electrified Dreams,” will serve as a stage that includes a synchronized light show featuring vibrant electric tubes, jaw-dropping pyrotechnics, and extreme stunts.
After Kiesza, it’s Aloe Blacc’s to take the float stage. He will perform his “Wake Me Up”— a global mega-hit with the late Avicii.
The visuals will continue with glowing light tubes. He’ll team with with trampoline wall performers.
Singer Debbie Gibson will perform the grand finale of the 2025 Rose Parade, officials announced in November.
Gibson, who made it big in the 1980s with hits like “Foolish Beat” and “Lost in Your Eyes,” will perform on the center of the Mansion Entertainment Group float.
The parade’s theme for 2025 is “Best Day Ever!”.
