The 2023 JUNO Awards are approaching & here are all the events leading up to the star-studded evening

Gear up people, because The 52nd Annual JUNO Awards are here!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would know that The 2023 JUNO Awards are taking place in Edmonton. Oh yes! After nearly two decades, Canada’s biggest night in music is back in the Albertan capital. And so are some of the country’s hottest names in music with electric performances and an impressive lineup of pre-JUNO events (more on these later) leading up to the star-y evening and epic moments.

Talking of epic moments, we already know a few that are def going down in history. Simu Liu’s killin’ it as host for the second consecutive year. Nickelback being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame with a performance presented by TD. The Weeknd topping the nominee list with six entries. And the killer performances by four-time winner Jessie Reyez, first-time JUNO Award nominee Aysanabee, rock group Alexisonfire and more.
