Carly Rae Jepsen to Host the 56th Annual Juno Awards in 2027

The 56th annual Juno Awards take place April 4, 2027, with Carly Rae Jepsen hosting for the first time, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) said Monday. The three-time Juno winner will also perform alongside Angine de Poitrine.

Our Lady Peace will perform at the same event and receive induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. The 56th annual awards will air live on the CBC network and YouTube channel. Insight Productions will produce the broadcast.

What did CARAS confirm for 2027?

CARAS's announcement confirmed Jepsen as host and performer, de Poitrine as a performer and Our Lady Peace as an inductee who will also perform. The April 4 ceremony includes all three confirmed names. The Hall of Fame induction will share the broadcast with Jepsen's hosting debut.

The Monday announcement addressed presentation, performance and production. It did not specify nominee fields, voting procedures, eligibility rules or category changes for the 56th awards. The confirmed details therefore concern the host and performance lineup.

What does Jepsen's Juno record show?

CARAS identifies Jepsen as a three-time Juno winner. Jepsen's second studio album, Kiss, won both album of the year and pop album of the year at the annual 2013 Juno Awards ceremony. The same album also brought her the single of the year trophy. Those three 2013 awards account for the three wins CARAS cites.

That album success came six years after she placed third on Canadian Idol in 2007. Her breakout hit, “Call Me Maybe,” first appeared in Canada in 2011. It broke through worldwide in 2012 and topped the Billboard Hot 100. The single also earned Jepsen two Grammy nominations.

Her latest release, Day and Night, contains 24 tracks across two albums. Over the last 15 years, Jepsen has released a run of critically regarded pop songs. The newly released double album extends that 15-year retrospective.

How does Jepsen follow the recent hosts?

The 2026 Junos were described as Canada's version of the Grammys. Mae Martin hosted that edition. Legendary folk singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell made a rare public appearance in Canada. She received a lifetime achievement award during the appearance. Michael Bublé hosted the 2025 Junos in his hometown of Vancouver.

Jepsen's debut as host comes one year after Martin's edition and two years after Bublé's 2025 ceremony, which he hosted in his hometown of Vancouver. The annual sequence runs from Vancouver in 2025 to Jepsen in 2027. Her three prior Juno wins provide the award history attached to the 2027 host announcement.

What changes for the 2027 awards?

The 2027 edition changes its lead presenter from the 2026 event's Mae Martin to Jepsen, a three-time winner. It also confirms de Poitrine as a separate performer and Our Lady Peace as a Hall of Fame inductee who will also perform at the ceremony.

How will audiences watch?

The 56th annual awards will air live on CBC and YouTube. The broadcast date is April 4, 2027. Insight Productions will produce the event. The confirmed schedule pairs one first-time host, three announced performers and one Hall of Fame induction within the same live broadcast on April 4, 2027.
