The musical impact of Canadian icons Nelly Furtado and Joni Mitchell will be recognized and televised at the 2026 Juno Awards in Hamilton.

At the newly renovated TD Coliseum on Monday, Juno Awards organizers announced that Mitchell, 82, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and Furtado, 46, will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the 55th annual event on March 29.

“Hamilton has always been a city that lives and breathes music,” said Allan Reid, president and CEO of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and the Juno Awards. “To return here with an incredible lineup that includes Joni Mitchell and Nelly Furtado — two of Canada’s most influential artists — is a fitting way to celebrate our country’s rich musical legacy.”
