How to watch the 2019 Polaris Music Prize gala
CBC Music's Raina Douris will host the event this year at the Carlu in Toronto
On Monday, Sept. 16, a new Polaris Music Prize winner will be crowned.
This will happen at the 2019 Polaris Music Prize gala, which is taking place at the Carlu in Toronto. If you can't make the event, you can stream the whole thing here at CBCMusic.ca/polaris.
This year's live-stream will be joining the gala in progress. That means that while the event will start at 7 p.m. ET, the online stream will start at 8:45 p.m. (5:45 p.m. PT).
CBC Music is doing this to deliver you all of the performances while eliminating the artist changeovers. But don't worry, the winner announcement will be live.
This year, nine of the 10 shortlisted acts will perform: Pup, Les Louanges, Marie Davidson, Haviah Mighty, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Shad, Fet.Nat, Elisapie and Dominique Fils-Aimé. Jessie Reyez, the final nominee, will be in attendance but will not be performing. They are all up for the $50,000 grand prize.
Previous winners of the Polaris Music Prize include Arcade Fire, Tanya Tagaq, Kaytranada, Buffy Sainte-Marie and last year's winner, Jeremy Dutcher, who will return to the stage to announce this year's winner.
