This Beat Goes On – Arcade Fire to perform at 2022 JUNO Awards
The celebrations marking the first in-person JUNO Awards since 2019 just got bigger!
Joining previously announced performers Avril Lavigne, Arkells, Charlotte Cardin, Mustafa, and host, Shang-Chi actor, Simu Liu, will be international indie legends, Arcade Fire.
Arcade Fire’s performance at the 51st JUNO Awards will come as the band releases their upcoming album, WE, set to be released on May 6; and will be the first time since 2018 the band will grace the JUNO stage.
After the 2020 and 2021 festivals and ceremonies were scrapped in the wake of the first waves of the global COVID-19 pandemic in favour of virtual presentations, the 2022 JUNO Week will take place from May 9th to May 15th, with the culminating broadcast of the 51st annual JUNO Awards returning to a live setting on May 15th from Toronto’s Budweiser Stage. The 2022 JUNO Awards will broadcast live across Canada at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBC TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, CBC Music, CBC Listen, and globally at CBCMusic.ca/junos.

Born and raised with thoughts and aspirations of becoming a famous bassist in Sarnia, ON; Emily Plunkett now lives in Gatineau, QC, and considers National Capital Region home sweet home. A product of the Beatles, MuchMusic and the Southwestern Ontario summer festival circuit (circa 2000), her interest and love in concert photography came almost completely by accident when her journalism program at Algonquin College required courses in photojournalism (and she quickly realized that photos taken at concerts using a DSLR are enormously better than ones she was taking on a point-and-shoot she bought for a trip to England). She is extremely proud of the fact she has seen Sloan in some form or another 25 times.
