During the live broadcast they presented the award for Group of the Year to Canadian Artists Tegan and Sara, alongside Canadian Rap Artist Shad. In Summer 2014 they played at multiple festivals including the Lachie Music and Arts Festival,[6] Toronto Urban Roots Festival, the Festival d'été de Québec, Osheaga, Squamish Valley Music Festival and Rock The Park London.
