Info
On July 11, 2026, Ottawa Bluesfest lands at LeBreton Flats, Ottawa with a lineup that slides from Southern rap to country rock, orchestral indie and guitar-driven noise.
Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug brings a Texas-rooted style: a deep voice, unhurried flows and heavy, Houston-leaning beats, the same lane that powered tracks like Texas and Big Stepper.
HARDY fuses Nashville songwriting with thick guitars. First known for writing for others, he now fronts a set that moves between straight-talking country and harder-edged rock, drawing on A Rock (2020) and The Mockingbird & The Crow (2023).
Montreal’s Patrick Watson leans into piano-led art pop, intimate and widescreen. Close to Paradise, Wooden Arms and Adventures In Your Own Backyard trace a world of falsetto, strings and quiet dynamics.
Ontario duo cleopatrick keep it raw and tight: just guitar and drums, big riffs and close-quarters tension, from early cut Hometown to their debut album BUMMER.
From Toronto, Luna Li layers violin, guitar and a soft voice into dream-pop textures, with Duality charting a path between shimmering pop, indie rock and R&B shades.
Hawaii’s Ron Artis II folds soul, gospel and R&B into guitar-forward songs that leave room for improvisation, a live approach anchored by the groove of Soul Street.
Nova Scotia songwriter Mo Kenney balances folk intimacy and indie rock edges, melodic and frank, from early releases through Covers to the 2024 return to originals, From Nowhere.
