The Weeknd and Shawn Mendes added to 2016 JUNO Awards lineup

Excitement was already high ahead of the 2016 JUNO Awards, which are set to take place at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome on Sunday, April 3. And that was even before it was announced that acclaimed R&B sensation The Weeknd had been added to this year’s lineup alongside Canadian songster Shawn Mendes.

Other artists that are also confirmed to perform are global superstar Bryan Adams, JUNO Award-winning and platinum-selling country artist Dean Brody, and Breakout pop-R&B artist, Alessia Cara.
