A Chronology of Appearances - 2025


(Unconfirmed information is highlighted)

  • 2025.01.30 Fire Aid Benefit Concert—The Kia Forum Inglewood, CA

    "I can't think of anyone better to console us than Joni Mitchell,"
    Alanis Morrissette said, introducing the doyenne of the California
    canyons to perform the regal and resonant "Both Sides Now,"
    with a stripped back version of her Joni Jam band.
    "I really don't know life at all," she sang to close on a plaintive note.

  • 2025.02.01 Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala—The Beverly Hills Hotel Beverly Hills, CA

    The Clive Davis Gala hosts the Salute to Industry Icons Award each year.
    The most iconic moment of the night was a stunning performance
    from Joni Mitchell, who sang "Both Sides Now" and "Summertime,"
    beaming a smile as the crowd cheered and she heard her bandmates
    play. Even in a room filled with jaded music executives often difficult
    to impress as they get to see stars perform in intimate settings on
    a regular basis, no one dared to speak a word while she performed,
    nor look away from the stage as long as she was at her throne.

  • 2025.07.01 Canada Day - Ruby Lake Resort Madeira Park, BC

    At a special ceremony at Ruby Lake Resort on the Sunshine Coast, B.C.,
    Joni received a gold medal from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society
    its highest honor.

    Presented by The Honourable Lois Mitchell, RCGS Board President,
    and John Geiger RCGS CEO and President, the celebration was held
    in front of more than 100 guests in an open-air amphitheatre surrounded
    by old growth forest.

    The idea to honour Joni was brought to life by
    three RCGS Fellows - Dianne Whelan, Kim Gray,
    and David Gray - who wanted to recognize an iconic Canadian
    voice at a time when it's more important than ever to celebrate what
    makes Canada unique.

    Among the distinguished guests were Premier David Eby and his wife
    Dr. Cailey Lynch, author and academic Naomi Klein, representatives
    of the Shíshálh Nation, Candace Campo and Elder Zoe Quinn and
    RCGS Fellows Katherine Smalley, Derek Lee, and Marina Jimenez.

  • 2025.08.30 Cyndi Lauper Farewell Concert - Hollywood Bowl Hollywood, CA

    Joni Mitchell was a 'Surprise Guest Performer'

  • 2025.09.29 SOCAN AWARDS Toronto, ON

    SOCAN celebrated its 100th anniversary by presenting the
    Global Impact Award to a true Canadian legend: Joni Mitchell.
    The singer-songwriter won the award for her 1969 classic, "Both Sides, Now."

    Mitchell was not able to attend the SOCAN Awards ceremony at Rebel
    in Toronto on Sept. 29, but she was honoured in an outdoor ceremony
    in Los Angeles, including SOCAN executives like CEO Jennifer Brown
    and the consulate general of Canada.

    The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada,
    SOCAN, is a Canadian nonprofit performance rights organization that
    represents the performing rights of songwriters, composers & music publishers.

  • 2025.11.07 November 7 declared Music Creator Day in Canada Toronto, ON

    SOCAN launches Music Creator Day to celebrate Canadian music,
    and the talented songwriters, composers and music publishers
    who make it possible.

    November 7 will be recognized annually as Music Creator Day,
    coinciding with the birthday of iconic Canadian singer-songwriter
    Joni Mitchell. As Mitchell is a Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame
    inductee and recipient of the 2025 SOCAN Cultural Impact Award,
    the date pays tribute to her contributions, and stands as a lasting
    legacy for the next generation of music creators.

    "Thank you for honouring my work in this manner," said Mitchell.
    "Although I have lived mostly in the States since I was 21,
    I live part-time in B.C. I have always been proud to be a Canadian,
    and lately more than ever."
