The Juno Awards’ 40th anniversary show on Sunday at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto (CTV, 8 p.m.) has been dubbed a “Love Letter to Toronto,” and will see current artists pay tribute to Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot and The Band.
Arranged by musical director Jim Cuddy (Blue Rodeo), City and Colour will perform Young’s Old Man; Sarah Harmer performs Mitchell’s Carey; Sarah Slean and Cuddy perform Lightfoot’s If You Could Read My Mind; Kevin Hearn performs The Band’s The Genetic Method; and Hearn, Derek Miller, Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor, Justin Rutledge, Serena Ryder and The Sadies perform The Band’s The Shape I’m In.
Garth Hudson of The Band, previously announced as a performer, now won’t take part in the 40th anniversary tribute because of illness.
Also, Tokyo Police Club is now performing on the broadcast, electronic artist Chilly Gonzales will make a special appearance with host Drake, and Feist has been added as a presenter.
The announcements coincide with the release of a new block of tickets for the Junos show ($213.75, $112, $62.25), which are on sale at Ticketmaster, ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000. The ducats were released after the stage was constructed at the ACC.
