The JUNO Awards have announced Burnaby-born singer Michael Bublé will host the annual celebration of Canadian music. JUNO events in 2018 take place between March 19 and 25 in Vancouver.
This is the fourth time Vancouver has played host to Canada’s Music Awards ceremony. Shows previously took place in 1991, 1998, and 2009. This marks Bublé’s second appearance as host. The awards aim to honour the artistic and technical achievements of Canadian recording artists.
In addition to the award ceremony, the City of Vancouver, CreativeBC and the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), in partnership with the JUNO Awards Host Committee, have announced a selection of local programming initiatives, including JUNOfest, a two-night multi-venue festival featuring 100 Canadian artists. Other events include Junior JUNOS, JUNO Fan Fare and the JUNO Cup.
Bublé has remained largely out of the public eye since his elder son was diagnosed with cancer in 2016.
Tickets to attend the event go on sale Nov. 24 via Ticketmaster. The award ceremony will broadcast live on CBC. Learn more HERE.
