RBC Ottawa Bluesfest has announced its 2019 lineup, and it’s full of high-flying acts for all ages. While many rumors had been floating around (as usual) about the headliners for this year’s festival, the biggest confirmed acts include The Killers, Eric Church, Backstreet Boys, Kygo, Alexisonfire, Jessie Reyez, Snoop Dogg, CHVRCHES, First Aid Kit, Wu-Tang Clan, among others.
The lineup includes a few throwback treats such as Guided By Voices, The Psychedelic Furs, Little Steven & The Desciples of Soul, as well as some indie artists making waves these days such as Busty and the Bass, Elisapie, PUP, and U.S. Girls. We’ve made a Spotify playlist sampler that you can dive into below.
We can’t forget to mention some key Ottawa additions this year, including Area Resident, Blakdenim, Future States, Kelly SLoan, Loon Choir, Mia Kelly, Moonfruits, and so many more that we love.
RBC Bluesfest runs from July 4 to 14. The festival site at LeBreton Flats Park offers a wide variety of food and merchandise concessions and is fully licensed. Check the website for more to come in the weeks ahead.
