The JUNO Awards are heading east and returning to Atlantic Canada!
Halifax will play host to JUNO Week events from March 20-24, 2024 which will conclude with the 53rd Annual JUNO Awards at Scotiabank Centre that Sunday.
“Canada’s east coast has long been the home of many incredible musicians,” said Allan Reid, President & CEO, the Canadian Academy of Recording Artists. “Halifax is a music lover’s paradise, with fans able to find live performances seven days a week across the city’s famed pubs and renowned music venues. We can’t wait to put the JUNO spotlight back on the city’s diverse music scene and celebrate the nation’s best in show, in true Maritime fashion.”
The last time Halifax hosted in 2006, Canadian icon Pamela Anderson hosted the ceremony and Coldplay played their only ever Halifax performance.
“Music-loving Halifax is thrilled to be host city for the 2024 JUNO Awards,” said Halifax Mayor Mike Savage. “We are committed to ensure everyone from the musicians to industry professionals and fans leaves Halifax with a song in their heart.”
The 2023 JUNO Awards include a great list of Nova Scotia nominees, including Enfield’s Classified, Alvvays fronted by the Mabou-born Molly Rankin, Mama’s Broke, and Rich Aucoin.
