Four more names just landed on the 55th Annual JUNO Awards broadcast. Alessia Cara, Jully Black, Shawn Desman, and Tanya Tagaq will perform a tribute to Nelly Furtado as part of her induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, joined by special guests and Furtado’s band under Musical Director Herag Sanbalian. Also joining the broadcast are MICO and Sofia Camara, two of Canada’s freshest new voices making their JUNO debut.
The show airs live March 29 at 8 p.m. ET on CBC TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, and streams globally on CBC Music’s YouTube channel from TD Coliseum in Hamilton. Limited tickets remain.
To mark Furtado’s induction, a dedicated exhibition opens March 25 at the National Music Centre in Calgary, home of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. It is a fitting tribute to a career that has shaped Canadian music on the global stage for more than two decades.
JUNO Week itself runs March 26 through 29, with the KickOff Concert, Songwriters’ Circle, JUNOfest, the Gala, and the main broadcast all taking place across Hamilton. The JUNO Awards Gala Presented by Music Canada streams March 28 at 6 p.m. ET, featuring more than 40 award presentations.
Tickets for the March 29 broadcast are on sale now at ticketmaster.ca/junos.
