We’ve been waiting for this news for a while, and when Stephen Stohn said last week that there would be a special announcement today, many of us were able to guess right. It’s official: Much Music will once again be hosting a premiere party next week in Toronto!!
Based on the description on Much Music’s blog, the premiere party sounds like it will be similar to last year’s event. Like the Degrassi Takes Manhattan premiere, the event will take place in the parking lot outside of Much Music HQ. They will be screening the premiere episode at 9pm, as well as allowing fans to take pictures with the cast. From what we’ve heard on Twitter, the entire cast is expected to be there. Here is the schedule given in the press release:
5 p.m. ET – Much’s flagship show NEW.MUSIC.LIVE. hits the air with a full hour devoted to DEGRASSI, featuring interviews with the cast live in-studio and exclusive sneak peeks of the new season.
7 p.m. ET – The action moves to the parking lot where fans can get their pic taken with members of the cast. These photos will be uploaded to Much’s Facebook page where fans can tag themselves and become the envy of all their friends! Much’s own Lauren Toyota hosts a Q&A session, where fans can interact and learn about their favourite cast members and find out what to expect this season. Fans interested in attending can RSVP here. For fans outside of Toronto, the Q&A session will be available live by visiting MuchMusic.com.
9 p.m. ET – In the DEGRASSI Season 11 premiere, all the students are abuzz about THE Spring Break event – Keke Palmer’s concert. Newly single Sav is depressed post-Holly-J break-up, but a flirtatious encounter with a beautiful stranger perks him up when she tells him to meet her at the show.

I will of course be there with my massive camera around my neck, taking pictures and video to share with all of you. We will likely do a special Degrassi Talks vlog from Toronto (our first one!) and I’ll have a full report from the event! I can’t wait to see some of you guys at the event – it is sure to be a blast. And for those of you who can’t come, at least there will be a live stream!!
