Jepsen’s global smash “Call Me Maybe” — which was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks in 2012 — won single of the year at the 2013 Juno Awards. Kiss, the album which featured the earworm, won album of the year and pop album of the year. “Call Me Maybe” also got some love at the 2013 Grammy Awards, receiving nominations for song of the year and best pop solo performance.
This will be Jepsen’s first time hosting the Juno Awards. The show has been hosted by many of the biggest Canadian music stars, including Shania Twain (2003), Alanis Morissette (2004), Nelly Furtado (2007 and 2024), Drake (2011), Michael Bublé (2013, 2018 and 2025), Bryan Adams (2017) and Sarah McLachlan (2019).
Angine de Poitrine is also set to perform on the show. The Quebec duo, consisting of brothers Klek and Khn de Poitrine, has had a breakout year, taking home the 2026 Polaris Music Prize, SOCAN Polaris Song Prize, Billboard Canada Power Players 2026 Global Breakthrough Award and 11 Felix award nominations.
Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace, who has received four Juno Awards, will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and take the stage for a live performance.
The Juno Awards have been on the move among major Canadian cities since 1989. This will be the show’s third time in Winnipeg, following the shows in 2005 and 2014.
“We’re thrilled to bring The Juno Awards back to Winnipeg, a city with such a rich musical history and a deep appreciation for Canadian talent,” Allan Reid, president and CEO, Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences/The Juno Awards, said in a statement.
