Today, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) have announced that Alberta rock band Nickelback will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the upcoming Juno Awards. To celebrate, Nickelback will perform live at the 52nd Juno Awards, which will be broadcast from Rogers Place in Edmonton on March 13, 2023.
"Returning home to Alberta, back to where everything started for us, is truly a full circle, a milestone moment for the band," said frontman Chad Kroeger via press release. "We take so much pride in our Canadian roots and hope that this retrospective look back at our career will demonstrate to younger generations that dedication and passion will take them far — within Canada and beyond."
Nickelback won its first Juno Award in 2001 for the best new group, and has since won 11 more over the last 20 years. The band's performance at its Hall of Fame induction in Edmonton will be Nickelback's sixth Junos performance to date. Previous Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees include Deborah Cox, Alanis Morissette, Barenaked Ladies, Joni Mitchell, Oscar Peterson and Rush.
Along with the Nickelback announcement, CARAS revealed today that pop singer Tate McRae will perform at the 2023 Juno Awards, and that legendary music manager Ron Sakamoto will receive the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award for his lifelong contributions to the Canadian country music scene. Juno Week events will be returning in 2023, including Juno Fan Fare, Juno Cup and Juno Songwriters' Circle.
