We are just 4 days away from one of the biggest celebrations of the year—the 2025 Rose Parade! Excitement is at an all-time high as the Pasadena Tournament of Roses reveals the incredible performers for the Opening Spectacular, presented by Honda. This year’s event will feature an electrifying co-headlined performance by Kiesza and Aloe Blacc, promising a high-energy spectacle that’s not to be missed.
The Honda float will captivate the crowd with a synchronized light show featuring vibrant electric tubes, stunning pyrotechnics, extreme stunts, and dynamic choreography. Their inspiring float, titled “Electrified Dreams,” highlights Honda’s dedication to sustainability and their ambitious global goal of achieving zero emissions for all mobility products and business operations by 2050.
Kiesza will open the show, dazzling the audience with her signature powerhouse vocals and energetic dance moves. She’ll breathe new life into her chart-topping hit, “Hideaway,” backed by 20 dancers in shimmering reflective costumes. Fans will also be treated to her recent Billboard #1 hit, “I Go Dance,” while gravity-defying acrobats on jumping stilts take the performance to new heights.
Following Kiesza, Aloe Blacc will take the stage, filling the air with his soulful voice as he performs the global anthem “Wake Me Up,” his smash hit with the late Avicii. Accompanied by trampoline wall performers executing breathtaking flips and twists, Aloe’s performance, paired with glowing light tubes, will be a visual and musical feast.
“Electrified Dreams” also marks the Rose Parade’s shift toward a more electrified fleet, led by Honda’s all-electric SUV, the Prologue, the Acura ZDX Type S performance SUV, and the compact e-scooter, the Honda Motocompacto.
