VANCOUVER (CelebrityAccess) — The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced that the Juno Awards and Music Week will return to Canada’s West Coast in 2025, taking place in Vancouver for the fifth time.
“Vancouver and the Province of BC are internationally recognized for its stunning scenery, but also for its incredible devotion to the arts,” says Allan Reid, President & CEO, of CARAS/ The JUNO Awards. “The 2018 JUNOS were an incredible experience with some of the most memorable performances in our history. We are so excited to return to the West Coast for another spectacular JUNOS in 2025 and to shine a spotlight on Vancouver’s status as a world-class music destination.“
Juno Week and the awards show, which will be in its 54th year in 2025, will take place from Wednesday, March 26 to Sunday, March 30, with the awards show broadcast airling live on CBC and CBC Gem from Rogers Arena.
The JUNO Awards were last in Vancouver in 2018 when Canadian recording artist and vocal legend Michael Bublé hosted the proceedings.
“B.C. is a hotbed for emerging talent. From modern South Asian sounds, a thriving electronic music scene, to a strong Hip-Hop community, the music industry across B.C. is diverse,” expressed Nate Sabine, Vancouver JUNO Host Committee Co-Chair & President of Music BC. “Our goal is to continuously create opportunity and drive support for a burgeoning music ecosystem. A great example of that work is our stewardship of Let’s Hear It, a 2018 Vancouver JUNOS legacy brand. I take great pride in the fact that to date, the program has highlighted over 75 artists, and that this work will continue well past 2025.”
