The event, hosted by Louis-José Houde, provided an opportunity to look at the year’s highlights and artists in the music industry, despite the current context. Les Cowboys Fringants took home five trophies, and Louis-Jean Cormier left with two Félix awards. Les Cowboys Fringants also performed, and the night saw Quebec talent at work, with Flore Laurentienne, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Matt Holubowski, Anachnid, a duo composed of Eli Rose and Marc Dupré, as well as a medley performed by Naya Ali, Evelyne Brochu, KNLO, Bleu Jeans Bleu and 2Frères.
