TORONTO - Simple Plan has a gig at the upcoming Juno Awards.

The band joins a lineup that also includes Blue Rodeo, City and Colour, Deadmau5, Feist, Hedley, Hey Rosetta! and Nickelback.

Hosted by William Shatner, CTV will air the Junos live from Ottawa on April 1.

Simple Plan will receive the 2012 Allan Waters Humanitarian Award at a gala held the night before the televised broadcast.

While Drake and Michael Buble have a combined seven nominations heading into the awards, neither Canadian star will be able to attend the show.

Drake -- who hosted the show last year and is tied for the lead with four nods including album and artist of the year -- has a performance scheduled in Manchester the same night as the April 1 gala, while Buble is set to perform in Brazil.

Organizers have said it's also unlikely that Justin Bieber, who is nominated for two Junos, will attend.
