The Montreal band took home four trophies, while Neil Young and Justin Bieber were also honoured.

Six weeks after stunning American audiences by winning the Grammy for best album of the year, Arcade Fire got some love north of the border in Toronto Sunday night, dominating the 40th Juno Awards and snagging four trophies. The band was named best group of the year and their acclaimed record The Suburbs won for best album. Making his first appearance at the awards in 29 years, Neil Young snagged the artist of the year award, prompting the 65-year-old to quip, “What year is this?” during his acceptance speech. Teen sensation Justin Bieber won his first two Junos, but international superstar Drake was not so lucky. The rapper was shut out, despite hosting the ceremony.
