Lead singer Chad Kroeger and his bandmates Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and Daniel Adair, will be ushered into the Hall of Fame at the Juno Awards in Edmonton next year on March 13.
The 12-time Juno winners, whose hit singles include "How You Remind Me" and "Rockstar," will also perform on the live Junos broadcast.
The band's induction announcement was part of a media event Monday in Edmonton where organizers said Calgary native Tate McRae would be among this year's performers.
They also confirmed the return of several Juno Week events that were paused during the pandemic.

Canadian music manager Ron Sakamoto will be the recipient of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award for his lifelong contributions to the country's music industry.
