The 54th Annual Juno Awards took place on March 30th at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena, recognizing outstanding achievements in Canadian music. Fifteen-time Juno winner Michael Bublé returned as host for the third time, having previously hosted in 2013 and 2018.
Tate McRae and Josh Ross entered the night as the top nominees, with five nods each. It was the “Sports Car” singer who took home the most awards (4), winning major categories like Artist of the Year and Album of the Year.
Special honors were also presented during the ceremony. Canadian rock band Sum 41 was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in recognition of their contributions to the country’s music scene. Additionally, Anne Murray received the Lifetime Achievement Award, while producer Boi-1da was honored with the International Achievement Award.
Notably, this year’s JUNOs introduced key changes. A new South Asian Music category was added, reflecting the growing influence of South Asian artists in Canada. Meanwhile, four long-standing categories—Reggae Recording, Children’s Album, Christian/Gospel Album, and International Album of the Year—were removed.
Without further ado, here is the complete list of winners at the 2025 Juno Awards.
