Who will likely be performing at the opening ceremony of 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics on Friday, February 12 have been unveiled. Nelly Furtado and Sarah McLachlan are among the rumored musical guests and reportedly have been spotted at the dress rehearsals for the show.

Other suggested performers include Bryan Adams, k.d. Lang and Nikki Yanofsky. Bryan will perform with one of the female singers, k.d. may entertain the audience with one of the singles from her latest album “Recollection”, and Nikki is expected to deliver the opening anthem.

Formally opened by Governor General of Canada Michaelle Jean, it will begin with the arrival of athletes from every competing country with Team Canada entering the stadium last.

Meanwhile, who will be lighting the Olympic cauldron at the aboriginal-themed festivity is yet to be revealed. Rumor has it, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky will come forward for the duty.
