Auftritte gab es unter anderem von Bryan Adams, Dean Brody, Alessia Cara, Dear Rouge, Coleman Hell, Scott Helman, Shawn Hook, Lights, Shawn Mendes, The Weeknd and Whitehorse. Die Fernsehübertragung fand 1,4 Millionen Zuschauer.
Das Benefizspiel Juno Cup fand am 1. April im Max Bell Centre statt.

## Gewinner und Nominierungen

Burton Cummings wurde in die Canadian Music Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Seine Band The Guess Who wurde bereits 1987 aufgenommen. Rosalie Trombley, die ehemalige Musikleiterin von CKLW bekam den Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award. Arcade Fire erhielten für ihr soziales Engagement den Allan Waters Humanitarian Award.
Die Nominierungen wurden am 2. Februar 2016 verkündet. Kurz darauf gab es unter dem Hashtag #JunosSoMale eine Kampagne, die sich dagegen richtete, das fast nur Männer nominiert waren. Auch die Musikerinnen Amy Millan und Grimes äußerten sich kritisch über die Vergabepraxis.
