The Juno Awards of 2021, honouring Canadian music achievements, will be presented on 6 June 2021,[2] observing the 50th anniversary of these awards. The main ceremonies will be televised on CBC.[3]
The ceremony was originally scheduled to take place in March,[4] but in December 2020 organizers announced that it was being pushed back to May,[5] before being pushed back again to June, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[5]
The awards had originally been planned to take place as a conventional live gala in Toronto, Ontario, although due to the continued pandemic these plans were cancelled; instead, they will not be hosted in a single large venue, but rather the televised ceremony consisted of prerecorded or live performances by Canadian musicians at various venues throughout Canada, alongside acknowledgements of the already-announced winners and the presentation of just six top categories.
The awards in most categories were presented in a pre-show event on June 4.[6]
