Months after naming five headliners, organizers of RBC Bluesfest made the grand announcement of more than 90 news artists for the 2020 festival edition.
It was an open secret that Rage Against The Machine would play Bluesfest, after the band posted summer tour dates on social media. Depending who you ask, other highlights in the 2020 lineup include Alanis Morissette, Blue Rodeo, Blink 182, Charlotte Day Wilson, Daniel Caesar, DJ Shadow, Deltron 3030, Jack Johnson, Jeremy Dutcher, King Crimson, Patrick Watson, The Cinematic Orchestra, and Polaris Music Prize winner Haviah Mighty.
