The 2026 Juno Awards will be held tomorrow night at the TD Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario, celebrating the best in Canadian music. Hosted by Mae Martin, the 55th annual ceremony will air on CBC, featuring performances by The Beaches, Arkells, and Daniel Caesar, who is also receiving the International Achievement Award. There has been much speculation in the lead up to the event that Rush might somehow be involved, and according to a number of online sources, that seems to be the case. From the CBC (thanks Will C):

... Legendary rock band Rush has hinted at "something special" happening at the 2026 Juno Awards, taking place in Hamilton on Sunday. "We want to let you in on something," the band wrote in a newsletter to fans. "Celebrate a special moment with Geddy & Alex." That cryptic message was followed by a link to buy tickets to the Junos on Sunday, March. 29. ...

In addition to that, the JUNO Awards put up a post on Instagram showing Rush's 1975 JUNO Award for Most Promising Group with the caption, What a promising year... 👀 3/29/2026 at 8PM ET.
