The JUNO Awards are taking over Toronto this weekend, and that means there will be a ton of celebrities walking the streets of the 6ix – so you might just be able to spot one.
On Sunday, May 15, the Canadian awards ceremony will take place on the Budweiser stage, which will feature musical performances and special appearances from some of the country’s biggest celebrities.
Music aficionados can still grab tickets to the JUNO Awards, or you can take your chance to see one of these eight celebs this weekend.
Avril Lavigne
The Canadian pop punk princess is not only awarding an award at the JUNOs this year, but is also on the main stage. Avril Lavigne was in Toronto a few weeks ago to surprise Olivia Rodrigo fans at a concert to sing “Complicated.”
Simu Liu
Simu Liu is coming back to the 6ix and he’s going to host this year’s JUNO awards. The shang chie star just finished a family vacation, and is already in Toronto to start his own book tour for his memoirs, we were dreamers (so you may want to keep your eyes peeled!)
Andrew Phung
Calling everyone Kim’s conveniencelovers! There will be a Kimchee and Jung reunion on the main stage as Andrew Phung will present an award at the JUNOs.
Shawn Mendes
Pickering’s very own Shawn Mendes will receive the International Achievement Award at this year’s JUNOs. Looks like Mendes is already in the 6ix as a video of him floated on Twitter where he was spotted in an Impact Kitchen with Director X.
Arkells
While the Arkells are still on their… Blink once tour, they will make a stop in Toronto to perform with the JUNOs. The band has also been nominated for a number of awards such as Group of the Year and Rock Album of the Year.
Mustafa
Mustafa makes his debut appearance at the JUNO Awards this year. The singer, poet and filmmaker has also been nominated for Songwriter of the Year and Alternative Album of the Year (which are also his first-ever nominations from the JUNOs).
Charlotte Cardin
Charlotte Cardin of Montreal is taking a short break from her tour to join the JUNOs to sing on the main stage. She also leads the pack with the most JUNO Award nominations this year with a total of six noms, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year.
Arcade Fire
Arcade Fire will also be rocking this year’s Canadian Music Awards show. The group from Montreal just performed on Saturday Night Live with Benedict Cumberbatch.
