Vancouverites looking to see top talent perform in the city without paying for a ticket to the Junos can see several acts for free at a block party.
The Let’s Hear It Live Juno Block Party kicked off on Thursday, March 27 and continues daily through Saturday ahead of the 2025 Juno Awards on Sunday at Rogers Arena.
The highly anticipated party features diverse Canadian talent on the TD Stage over three days, including favourite local and JUNO-nominated artists.
Attendees can also check out a vibrant night market featuring local vendors and retailers.
Some highly anticipated hip-hop groups include Snotty Nose Rez Kids from the Haisla Nation near Kitimat, B.C., who perform on Friday night, and Vancouver's own Swollen Members, who will perform Saturday night.
Other popular musical acts include the folk group Wild Rivers from Toronto, country music singer-songwriter JoJo Mason from Regina, songwriter and rapper AR Paisley from Mississauga, and many others.
The event is free to attend and takes place at šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ Square (formerly known as the Vancouver Art Gallery North Plaza).
The 2025 Juno Awards take place at Rogers Arena on Sunday and will be hosted by Burnaby's Michael Bublé.
The Junos will feature performances by Aqyila, Josh Ross, Nemahsis, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Tia Wood, and many others, as well as a historic, last-ever performance by Canadian Music Hall of Fame Inductees, Sum 41.
Tickets are still available for the major Canadian award show, ranging between $58 and $317.
