Katy Perry is joining the lineup for the Invictus Games 2025 opening ceremony in Vancouver in February.

The Invictus Games teased a surprise earlier in the week, and on Wednesday morning (Dec. 4) announced the Grammy-Award nominated artist would be joining the three previously announced artists Noah Kahan, Nelly Furtado and Roxane Bruneau. The opening ceremony is Feb. 8 at BC Place. 

A news release says there's an "additional global superstar still to be announced."

The Invictus Games is coming to Vancouver and Whistler in February 8 to 16, 2025.

It is an international sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick service members and veterans. The seventh Invictus Games will bring together up to 550 competitors from 25 nations in 11 adaptive sports. 

The first games were held in London in 2014.

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, founded Invictus Games.

He was in Vancouver on Nov. 17 for the 111th Grey Cup to highlight the Invictus Games.
