Cadence Weapon, Cold Specks, Kathleen Edwards, Feist, F--ked Up, Grimes and Yamantaka//Sonic Titan are all slated to perform at this year's Polaris Music Prize gala.
The awards take place Sept. 24 at the Concert Hall Studios at Bell Media's Masonic Temple in Toronto. Nominees Handsome Furs will attend but will not perform. Japandroids will not be taking part, because the duo will be on tour in Europe, and organizers say superstar Drake has "not committed to attending."
Unnamed members of Arcade Fire, whose album The Suburbs took home last year's Polaris Prize, will be on hand to present this year's award.
The grand prize winner will be awarded $30,000 and a one-week free rental of a VIP tour bus for their next European tour, while the remaining nine shortlisters will receive $2,000. CBC Radio 3 will broadcast the gala live on Sept. 24, with a pre-show starting at 7 p.m. ET and the gala following at 8 p.m.
