TORONTO, March 20, 2014 /CNW/ - CTV and The Canadian Academy of
Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) announced today that six-time JUNO
Award winners Arcade Fire, rockers OneRepublic, and eight-time JUNO Award winner Sarah McLachlan, are the latest performers confirmed for CTV's broadcast of THE 2014 JUNO AWARDS, March 30.
Leading the 2014 JUNO Award nominations with six, including Album of the
Year, Arcade Fire, unable to attend THE 2014 JUNO AWARDS due to touring commitments, take part in broadcast via a taped
performance. The world premiere, exclusive performance - dedicated by
the band to the JUNO Awards - will be a one-of-a-kind recorded
experience for viewers of Canada's biggest night in music.
Rockers OneRepublic make their JUNO Awards debut this year with what is
bound to be an exhilarating performance of their latest hit single,
"Counting Stars." At five-times platinum, "Counting Stars" is the
highest-selling single for the band ever in Canada.
McLachlan, who has performed at the JUNO Awards seven times, returns to
the JUNO stage with the Canadian television debut performance of
"Beautiful Girl" from her upcoming album, Shine On. It was previously announced that McLachlan would appear as a special
presenter for MusiCounts, Canada's music education charity, associated
with CARAS. McLachlan will be speaking about the extensive work
MusiCounts is doing in 2014 that will help keep music alive for
Canadian youth and put instruments into the hands of children who need
it most.
Arcade Fire, OneRepublic, and Sarah McLachlan join previously announced
performers Brett Kissel, Classified, Dean Brody, Gord Bamford, Matt Mays, Robin Thicke, Serena Ryder, The Sheepdogs, Tegan and Sara, and Walk Off The Earth. Co-hosted by Classified, Johnny Reid, and Serena Ryder, THE 2014 JUNO AWARDS air live, Sunday March 30 on CTV and CTV GO at 8 p.m. CT/9 p.m. ET (check local listings to confirm broadcast times and stations).
