Having just played at Field Trip in Toronto with upcoming summer appearances at Festival D'été De Québec in Quebec City and RBC Bluesfest in Ottawa, A Tribe Called Red will get to showcase their fresh DJ set imbued with stunning graphics made by Bear Witness. 

Other notable nominees vying for the $50,000 first prize includes "More Life" by Drake, "Starboy" by The Weeknd, and Carly Ray Jepsen's "E.MO.TION Side B".
