Michael Bublé to bring The 2025 JUNO Awards to Vancouver

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) unveiled several major announcements, including that multi-platinum superstar entertainer, and Vancouver native, Michael Bublé, will host and perform at The 2025 JUNO Awards Broadcast. The 15-time JUNO Award-winner returns for a third time as host of Canada’s biggest night in music, live from his hometown.
The 54th Annual JUNO Awards, produced by Insight Productions (a Boat Rocker company), will broadcast and stream live across Canada from Rogers Arena in Vancouver on March 30th at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBC TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, CBC Music, CBC Listen, and globally at CBCMusic.ca/junos and CBC Music’s YouTube page. Tickets for The 2025 JUNO Awards go on sale to the general public on November 29th and start at $70.85 (including tax plus fees) and will be available for purchase at www.ticketmaster.ca/junos.
Michael Bublé is back to perform and host in his hometown
Michael Bublé has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide over the course of his extraordinary career and has enjoyed enormous success as one of the top touring artists of all time. With a career that includes 5 GRAMMYs, 15 JUNO Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame, 6 multi-platinum albums, and over 14 billion global streams, Michael has spent the past two decades deeply committed to not only keep the flames of the Great American Songbook alive and well – to not only breathe new life into them – but to bring his singular style, vocal power, and passion to timeless tunes that he loves. He released his self-titled debut album on Reprise Records in 2003, followed by a series of multi-platinum, #1 albums including Call Me Irresponsible (2007), Crazy Love (2009), To Be Loved (2013), Love (2018), and Christmas (2011). Michael’s 11th studio album HIGHER (2022) marked his 9th Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart and 7th consecutive studio album to debut in the Top 3. His brand new greatest hits album, The Best Of Bublé, was released on September 27, 2024. Known for his world-class showmanship and spectacular concert production, he has performed sold out shows in over 30 countries. With unstoppable talent, energy and a voice that is equally at home singing standards, pop, swing, jazz, R&B, and comedy, Michael takes his audiences on a special journey every night – singing his heart out, serenading them with beautiful love songs, making them laugh, cry, and dance – to give them an evening they will never forget.

Michael Bublé
“I could not be happier bringing The JUNO Awards home to Vancouver for 2025” says Bublé. “The JUNOS are such an important part of the Canadian music industry, and being able to host for the second time in my hometown makes this night mean even more to me. I’m excited to be surrounded by all the amazing talent we have from coast-to-coast this March.”
Sum 41 joins the Canadian Music Hall of Fame
The JUNO Awards are proud to announce the induction of Canadian pop punk rock icons Sum 41 into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during a special presentation and performance presented by JUNOS Premier Sponsor, TD Bank Group. Looking back at the band’s storied 28-year career, Sum 41 has firmly cemented their place in history with over 15 million records sold worldwide, multiple Billboard Charting releases and No. 1 hits, a GRAMMY® nomination, 2 JUNO Awards (7 nominations), a Kerrang! Award in 2002, multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, sold-out tours and packed venues everywhere, and countless other accolades. The Canadian leg of their farewell tour begins in January. They will play their final show in Toronto, ON on January 30th followed by an encore performance live at The JUNO Awards Broadcast in Vancouver, BC on March 30th.
The Canadian Music Hall of Fame was established by CARAS in 1978 to acknowledge artists who have made an outstanding contribution to Canadian music, both nationally and globally. Sum 41 will join the ranks of Canadian music icons spanning many genres including Deborah Cox, Alanis Morissette, Barenaked Ladies, Jann Arden, Joni Mitchell, k.d. lang, Leonard Cohen, Nickelback, Neil Young, Oscar Peterson, RUSH, The Guess Who, The Tragically Hip, Sarah McLachlan and Shania Twain. The Canadian Music Hall of Fame has a permanent home within the National Music Centre situated inside Calgary’s Studio Bell.

“We’re excited to be back at the JUNOS and to receive this recognition,” said Sum 41. “We’ve come so far as a band since we first started and we look forward to celebrating in Vancouver with our fans and fellow Canadian artists.”
Riley O’Connor will receive the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award
During the JUNO Awards Gala Presented by Music Canada, Riley O’Connor will be presented with the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award. This award, in recognition of founder Walt Grealis, recognizes individuals who have contributed to the growth and development of the Canadian music industry at home and around the world.
Riley O’Connor was named Chairman of Live Nation Canada in 2007. As Chairman, O’Connor has steered the company – which now presents more than 4,000 concerts annually for domestic and international artists – to market leadership in Canada’s live entertainment industry. Arriving on the Canadian music industry scene in 1971 as a drum roadie, guitar tech, electrician, lighting designer, and high rigger, O’Connor then became a concert promoter, starting at Vancouver’s Perryscope Concert Productions and quickly moving up the ranks of concert promotion in Canada and Europe. Over the years, O’Connor has brought some of the brightest lights and greatest shows Canada has ever seen including international artists such as AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Roger Waters, Elton John, Backstreet Boys, Iron Maiden, Rod Stewart, KISS, Metallica, and ABBA, to name a few. O’Connor has long been an advocate of Canadian music and artist development. He has produced and promoted incredible Canadian acts including: RUSH, Blue Rodeo, April Wine, Triumph, The Tragically Hip, Michael Bublé, Bryan Adams, The Guess Who, Streetheart, Jann Arden, Sloan, 54*40, Nickelback, Harlequin, Avril Lavigne, Our Lady Peace, Celine Dion, Chantal Kreviazuk, Corey Hart, Jane Siberry and many more.
“To be recognized as a recipient of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award is incredibly humbling and it’s an honour to be included alongside such a distinguished group. As a promoter, my ambition was to provide opportunities for our Canadian artists and build a national marketplace where Canadian fans can celebrate live music in as many communities as possible.”

Riley O’Connor
“We are thrilled to have Vancouver’s own, Michael Bublé back as our host for the third time. We have the distinction of hosting SUM 41’s final performance, a momentous farewell for a legendary band, and with Live Nation’s Riley O’Connor receiving the Walt Grealis Award, it’s set to be a weekend to remember, bringing fans together, across Canada and beyond,” says Allan Reid, President & CEO, CARAS/The JUNO Awards. “This is the first of many exciting announcements to come for JUNO Week 2025!”
“We at Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw are thrilled to be hosting the JUNOS on our shared Traditional territories, and today’s announcement only adds to our excitement. Nothing brings people together like music, and in building this meaningful relationship with the JUNOS, it demonstrates to the rest of Canada that Vancouver is a true leader in reconciliation,” says Sxwixwtn, Wilson Williams, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw Spokesperson and Council Member

Caamp Announces 2026 Headlining Tour
Caamp announces its 2026 Tour, which kicks off in Richmond, VA on April 22nd. With 13 of the 19-city headlining tour co-produced by FPC Live and Live Nation – Caamp’s 2026 Tour follows the band’s successful 2025 Tour and Copper Changes Color album – includes stops at Forest Hills Stadium (Forest Hills, NY), Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, MD), and two nights at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (Greenwood Village, CO). It will also include a special hometown arena show at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, OH.
Artist pre-sale begins February 17th at 10am local time with additional pre-sales running throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale which begins February 20th at 10am local time. Caamp will donate $1 for each ticket sold to their Great Heights Movement, which supports charitable programs in the Columbus, OH area and beyond. Fans can learn more and register for the pre-sale code now at: caamptheband.com/caamp-tour-dates
In addition to their 2026 headlining tour, Caamp will join Zach Bryan and Mumford & Sons for direct support for select dates on Bryan’s With Heaven On Tour starting in March, and Mumford & Sons’ Prizefighter European Tour in July. They will also play festivals including High Water Festival (headliner), Railbird Festival and Levitate Music and Arts Festival (headliner).
Last summer, the band released their fifth studio album, Copper Changes Color, via Mom+Pop Music. The album – which Garden & Gun praises for its “Strokes-like strut, all clanging electric guitars at a punchy clip” while still nailing “the sweet spot of Caamp’s trademark folk and delicate banjo beneath Meier’s distinctive baritone” – is both a reflection on growth and evolution and a celebration of the dreams and bonds that endure. Copper Changes Colordebuted at No. 1 on the Americana/Folk Albums chart and on Spotify’s Top 10 Albums: Debut USA, plus earned the band’s fifth Adult Alternative Airplay No. 1 single with “Mistakes.”
The 2026 Tour follows their sold-out 2025 Tour, which saw more than 200K tickets sold and included stops at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall, LA’s Greek Theatre, Chicago’s Salt Shed, Denver’s Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, DC’s The Anthem, and more, plus a successful European Tour.
Founded in Athens, OH by Taylor Meier (frontman + primary songwriter) and Evan Westfall (multi-instrumentalist), Caamp – which also includes Matt Vinson (bass), Joseph Kavalec (keys) and Nicholas Falk (drums) – rocketed to early acclaim with their self-titled 2016 debut, which garnered the band their first gold single and will celebrate its 10th anniversary next month. Since then, the group has racked up more than 2.5 billion streams; topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart; topped the Americana Albums chart, sold out multiple nights from Red Rocks to Radio City; headlined Columbus’ Nationwide Arena; received praise from the likes of NPR, Relix, SPIN and more; and performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning. Caamp also wrote and recorded “And It’s Gone” as the main title theme for Stick, the 2025 hit AppleTV+ original sports comedy starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson.

Tame Impala Announce North American Arena Tour with Djo and Dominik Fike
After 2025 and 2026 global sell-outs, Tame Impala has added another run of North American dates kicking off this summer. The tour will begin in Miami at Kaseya Center on July 7th and wrap up September 19th at the Toyota Center in Houston. The first half of the tour will be supported by Djo and the latter half by Dominic Fike, marking the first time either of the two massive artists in their own right have ever supported on a tour. Artist presales via Seated will begin Wednesday, February 18 at 12pm local time, with unique passwords required. Additional presales will follow on Thursday, February 19 at 12pm local time, including the AEG/Venue presale, the Ticketmaster/AXS presale, and the Radio presale. All presales will conclude Thursday, February 19 at 10pm local time, with the public on sale beginning Friday, February 20 at 12pm local time. For more information visit www.tameimpala.com
Late last year, Tame Impala released his fifth full-length album, Deadbeat via Columbia Records. On it, Parker sculpted a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, including the breakout hit “Dracula.” The song has now held the #1 position at ALT radio and Tame Impala has since released “Dracula (JENNIE Remix).” The song travelled all the way to South Korea and came back reborn with vocals from the global superstar. LISTEN HERE.
After releasing Deadbeat, Parker scored a GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the single “End Of Summer” (the only track eligible for the 2026 GRAMMYS) and won the category earlier this month. He also picked up a BRIT Award nomination for International Group of the Year. Tame Impala has had 5 career GRAMMY nominations and now two wins, and has racked up three BRIT Award nominations and a win throughout his career. Prior to becoming tour-mates, Tame Impala and Djo (Joe Keery) teamed up for the “Loser” video – WATCH HERE.
“One of the best live shows of the year.”
