Carly Rae Jepsen will take on hosting duties at the 2027 JUNO Awards, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and CBC announced earlier today.
The Canadian singer-songwriter will host and perform at the 56th annual ceremony on April 4, 2027, at Winnipeg's Canada Life Centre.
It will be Jepsen's first time hosting the JUNOS. She has previously won three JUNO Awards at the 2013 ceremony. Her breakthrough hit "Call Me Maybe" took home Single of the Year, while her 2012 album Kiss won Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year.
Since then, albums including E•MO•TION, Dedicated and The Loneliest Time have earned her a sort of cult status in contemporary pop, thanks to a devoted international following.
Monday's announcement also included the first performers for next year's ceremony. Unsurprisingly, Québec duo Angine de Poitrine will make their JUNO Awards broadcast debut following a remarkable 2026 that included wins at the Polaris Music Prize and the SOCAN Polaris Song Prize, as well as a major showing at the ADISQ Gala last night.
Toronto rock band Our Lady Peace will also perform during the broadcast. The group, whose career spans more than three decades, will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. The four-time JUNO winners have sold more than five million albums worldwide, with hits including "Clumsy," "Superman's Dead" and "Somewhere Out There."
The 2027 JUNO Awards will broadcast live across Canada on CBC television and streaming platforms on April 4 at 8 p.m. ET. Tickets go on sale to the general public November 13.
