PASADENA, Calif. – Excitement takes center stage as the Pasadena Tournament of Roses reveals the incredible performers for the 2025 Rose Parade Opening Spectacular presented by Honda! The Opening Spectacular will burst to life with an electrifying co-headlined performance by Kiesza and Aloe Blacc, promising a high-energy spectacle like never before.
The Honda float will dazzle audiences with a synchronized light show featuring vibrant electric tubes, jaw-dropping pyrotechnics, extreme stunts and dynamic choreography that amps up the energy. Their inspirational float – “Electrified Dreams” – highlights the company’s commitment to sustainability and its challenging global goal of zero emissions for all mobility products and business operations by 2050.
Kiesza kicks things off, commanding the stage with her signature powerhouse vocals and captivating dance moves. She’ll breathe new life into her iconic smash hit, “Hideaway”—the track that dominated global charts a decade ago. Backed by 20 dancers in shimmering reflective costumes, Kiesza’s performance will sizzle with precision and style. But she’s not stopping there—fans will get a taste of her recent Billboard #1 hit, “I Go Dance,” all while extreme acrobats on jumping stilts defy gravity to her beat!
Then it’s Aloe Blacc’s turn to ignite the stage. His soulful voice will soar through the air as he belts out the timeless anthem “Wake Me Up”—his global mega-hit with the late Avicii. Enveloped in a stunning visual display of glowing light tubes, Aloe teams up with trampoline wall performers, whose gravity-defying flips and twists will leave the audience breathless.
“Electrified Dreams” also marks the Rose Parade’s shift to a more electrified vehicle fleet, led by the new Honda Prologue, the brand’s first all-electric SUV, the first all-electric Acura model, the ZDX Type S performance SUV and the Honda Motocompacto, a compact “last mile” e-scooter.
