Nelly Furtado, Barenaked Ladies and Billy Talent are among the performers who have been announced to headline the Vancouver Victory Ceremonies at next year's Olympics.

Loverboy, Hedley, Burton Cummings, Great Big Sea and INXS have also been confirmed for the concert series, which will feature a performance each night at BC Place from Feb. 14 to 26.

The performances will accompany the presentation of Olympic medals in sports including speedskating, snowboarding and freestyle skiing.

One province or territory will be represented each night, though the performers will not always be associated with the region being honoured.

Tickets range from $22 to $50. The concerts will air nightly on MuchMusic at Midnight AT.
