The Weeknd has been tapped to perform during Canada’s 2015 MuchMusic Video Awards — the equivalent of the MTV VMAs.

Organizers have announced that the Toronto singer will take stage, where he will likely showcase “Earned It,” which is nominated for Fan Fave Video of the Year. The crooner will compete against his friends Drake and Justin Bieber in the Fan Fave Artist/Group of the Year.

Viewers will also see performances from “Jealous” hit-maker Nick Jonas, pop singer Jason Derulo and the ceremony’s co-host Ed Sheeran during the June 21 show.

“The first list of incredibly talented performers confirmed to hit the MMVA stage sets the tone for what we know will be an epic night,” said Sheila Sullivan, executive producer, 2015 MuchMusic Video Awards. “Internationally, these are some of the biggest names in music right now, and I know they will deliver electrifying performances worthy of the legendary screams of our fans.”
