The 2015 Juno Awards are upon us, and we want you to follow along with the biggest party in Canadian music this year.

Workers have transformed FirstOntario Centre into a lavish set for the likes of Magic!, Shawn Mendes, Kiesza and Arkells.

But even before the big show, the city was on its feet Friday for the first night of Junofest. Everywhere you looked, music was floating out of open doors in downtown Hamilton — whether it was Mickey DeSadist's signature swagger with The Forgotten Rebels at Club Absinthe, or Harlan Pepper's marathon set as the house band backing the Six Shooter Records crew down at This Ain't Hollywood.

We don't want you to miss any of the action. So follow in real time below with Adam Carter, Jesse Kinos-Goodin, Matt Fisher, Nigel Hunt and Deana Sumanac-Johnson from the opening press conference on Friday through to when the awards are given out Saturday and Sunday, with everything in between. We'll be conducting interviews on the red carpet, following hometown heroes Arkells all day Sunday, and hitting up Junofest and various events throughout the weekend.
