How to tune in to the 2025 Juno Awards
The awards will be broadcast and streamed live across Canada on CBC TV and CBC Gem at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, and globally on CBC Music's YouTube channel.
Here's a look at the performers for this year's show.
Aqyila
With more than 128 million worldwide streams and three billion short-form video views, Toronto R&B artist Aqyila's debut single, Vibe for Me (Bob for Me), earned her a Juno nomination in 2021 for contemporary R&B recording of the year, marking the beginning of her rise as a songwriter.
Aqyila has two nominations this year, for traditional R&B/soul recording (for Limbo) and contemporary R&B recording (Bloom).
Josh Ross
This country performer co-leads this year's nominations (alongside Tate McRae) with a total of five, including TikTok Juno fan choice, single (for Single Again), album (Complicated), country album, and artist of the year.
The former collegiate football player from Burlington, Ont., pairs a dark, mellow blast of modern country rock with a warm vocal rasp, heart-on-his-sleeve writing and addictive hooks that respect no borders — genre or otherwise.
Nemahsis
The music of Nemahsis, a rising Palestinian Canadian singer and songwriter from Milton, Ont., explores themes of identity and belonging, often drawing on her experiences as a hijabi Muslim woman.
This year, Nemahsis is a first-time nominee for three Junos, including breakthrough artist or group, The Government of Canada and Canada's Private Radio Broadcasters,????alternative album and songwriter of the year.

Snotty Nose Rez Kids
Known for their high-energy live shows, the Indigenous hip-hop duo from the Haisla Nation in British Columbia burst onto the music scene in 2016 and have performed more than 100 shows across six countries.
Snotty Nose Rez Kids have three Juno nominations this year, including rap single, rap album/EP and contemporary Indigenous artist or group of the year.
Tia Wood
Born in Saddle Lake Cree Nation in central Alberta, a community of about 6,000 people in Treaty 6 territory, Wood seamlessly blends modern influences with the music of her Indigenous roots. This rich background laid the foundation for her debut, Pretty Red Bird, released in September 2024.
Wood is a first-time Juno Award nominee this year, for contemporary Indigenous artist or group of the year. Tia's father, Earl Wood, is a founding member of the legendary group Northern Cree, who are also nominated for a 2025 Juno award.

Junos introduce Latin music category in effort to recognize more Canadian-made sounds

A woman awaits for the Juno Awards nominees announcement to start in Toronto on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette TORONTO — The Juno Awards are adding a dash of Latin flavour to next year's festivities. Organizers at Canada's biggest music awards show say they plan to introduce Latin music recording of the year at the 2026 edition. The new category will recognize Canadian musicians across all Latin American languages and genres who've released music in the eligible year. It's the latest move by the Junos to diversify how it recognizes Canadian creators and the evolving national music scene. Last year, the Junos added a South Asian music category, while in 2022 it split the Indigenous category in two to honour both contemporary and traditional Indigenous artists. The 2026 Junos are set to take place in Hamilton with the main show broadcast from Hamilton Arena, formerly FirstOntario Centre, which is finishing off a $290-million renovation. Another tweak is being made to the rap categories, which answers calls for clarity around the involvement of Canadian MCs. The revised rules state that vocalists on releases eligible in the rap single and rap album or EP categories must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 5, 2025.
