The JUNO Awards Return To Vancouver In 2025

Ahead of the upcoming 2024 JUNO Awards in Halifax, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) announced today The JUNO Awards are making their way back to Vancouver in 2025, marking the fifth time the West Coast metropolis has hosted Canada’s Biggest Night in Music. The city will honour the nation’s top musical talent once again with 2025 JUNO Week being hosted in Vancouver, BC from Wednesday, March 26 to Sunday, March 30, culminating with the 54th Annual JUNO Awards broadcast, airing live on CBC and CBC Gem from Rogers Arena.
The 2025 edition of JUNO Week returns with the support of the Province of British Columbia, Destination Vancouver, City of Vancouver, Downtown Van, Creative BC, Music BC and the 2025 Host Committee. With more than 80 independent record labels and over 120 sound recording studios, the scenic city’s music arena is as diverse and vibrant as the province itself. The JUNO Awards were last in Vancouver when global icon Michael Bublé hosted the show in his hometown in 2018.

“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.“
“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.”
“British Columbia is one of Canada’s leading centres for music. Hosting the 2025 JUNO Awards in Vancouver is an excellent opportunity to showcase our province’s remarkable music scene and the incredible talent of our artists, said Lana Popham, British Columbia’s Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “We are excited to welcome fans and artists from across the country to Vancouver in 2025, offering them an unforgettable experience with our world-class hospitality and amazing tourist attractions.”
Captivating visitors from around the globe, British Columbia is a meeting place for travellers seeking to experience its unbelievable outdoor lifestyle, breathtaking views and Indigenous culture. A prized entertainment market with a thriving local music scene, the city attracts legendary artists to perform at its iconic music venues including the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Orpheum Theatre, Commodore Ballroom, Rogers Arena and more. There is a remarkable breadth of artists who hail from Vancouver and British Columbia including award-winning producer Bob Rock and David Foster, Mother Mother, Michael Bublé, Sarah McLachlan, AP Dhillon, and Lauren Spencer Smith.
“We are excited to welcome The JUNO Awards in Vancouver! Beyond celebrating the incredible talent in the Canadian music industry, we take pride in the rich diversity and culture that makes our city truly exceptional. We are going to make the 2025 JUNOs experience the best one yet, blending unity, culture, and lasting memories for all,” expressed Ken Sim, Mayor of Vancouver.
JUNOS has been touring Canada for over 20 years, generating an average economic impact of $12 million for the host city, becoming an engine for the economy.

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.”
