Organizers are calling the Ottawa Bluesfest 2023 lineup one of the festival's best ever.
A host of big names are set to take the stage at Ottawa Bluesfest this July.
Organizers are calling the 2023 lineup, released Wednesday, one of the festival's best ever.
Foo Fighters, one of the biggest rock bands in the world, will take the stage at LeBreton Flats. Folk rockers Mumford & Sons will also play the main stage, as will rapper Pitbull.
Weezer, Death Cab for Cutie, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and Charlotte Cardin are also among the featured acts on the mainstage.
Shania Twain will headline the festival's opening night on July 6. Her performance was announced in October and tickets for that day have been on sale since then.
The Smile, a group featuring Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, will headline the festival's final night on Sunday, July 16.
The festival has one less day than usual this year. It runs from Thursday, July 6 to Sunday, July 9 and from Wednesday, July 12 to Sunday, July 16. That makes for a two-day break during the festival, rather than the usual one-day break in prior years.
