They're here, they're there, they're everywhere: Arcade Fire continue to solidify that they're back with a vengeance — though sans Will Butler — by joining the lineup of performances on deck for this year's 51st Juno Awards.
It's been quite the month for the celebrated Montreal outfit, having kicked off their rollout of new music by teasing fans with postcards ahead of announcing their forthcoming album WE last week, led by double-single "The Lightning I, II," which they debuted live in New Orleans at a surprise Ukraine benefit show. The band went on to play four back-to-back nights at New York's Bowery Ballroom, also benefitting Ukraine, and were joined onstage by David Byrne.
So really, it should come as no surprise that the 11-time winners would pop up on the Junos bill too — they're back back.
The 2022 iteration of the annual accolades celebrating the best in Canadian music will take place in person for the first time since 2019 on May 15 at Toronto's Budweiser Stage. Hosted by Simu Liu, the broadcast will also feature performances from Charlotte Cardin (who leads the nominations with six nods to her name), Arkells, Avril Lavigne and Mustafa.
Tickets to attend the event are available here.
Arcade Fire last took the Junos stage in 2018, when they won Album of the Year for Everything Now.
