Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to join the star-studded guest lineup at the Juno Awards in Hamilton’s TD Coliseum this Sunday. The ceremony will also feature the likes of Joni Mitchell, who will be honored with a lifetime achievement award, and Nelly Furtado, who is set to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
A special tribute for Mitchell will be performed by Sarah McLachlan and Allison Russell, while a collaborative celebration of Furtado’s music will include performances by Alessia Cara, Jully Black, Shawn Desman, and Tanya Tagaq. Notable nominees such as Justin Bieber, Tate McRae, and The Weeknd are unlikely to attend the event.
Comedian-turned-musician Mae Martin will host the Juno Awards, which will be broadcast on CBC TV, CBC Gem, and other CBC platforms at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday.
