Back for its incredible 32nd year, Ottawa Bluesfest runs July 9-19 on the grounds of the Canadian War Museum at LeBreton Flats Park.
This year’s 10-day event features a diverse lineup of international, classic rock, and country acts, along with special programming to celebrate Ottawa’s 200th anniversary.
Bluesfest has long evolved beyond just blues, offering a wide variety of genres. Major headliners and notable performers this year include rockers like Sheryl Crow, Social Distortion, and Death From Above 1979, country singers such as Cody Johnson and Ella Langley, as well as breakout act Angine de Poitrine, who generated so much hype that organizers moved them to the Main Stage for their July 17th performance. The Lumineers will also be performing.
The 2026 festival will also be hosting a major civic celebration. On the final day of the festival there will be special 200th-anniversary (Bicentennial of Bytown) programming, including a performance by Canadian classic rock band The Guess Who.
