The hit song “In Da Club” had significantly more meaning last night, as 50 Cent celebrated his own birthday with thousand of screaming fans capping off night three’s festivities.
It was a night of picking and choosing who to see, and closing the river stage was Philadelphia’s Mt. Joy, who drew a large crowd of indie folk fans. The tent stage was a real highlight on Saturday night, where Niger’s Etran De L’Air put on a captivating performance in a full-on jam session. Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers were the show of the evening, as the New Orleans band’s electric energy had the entire crowd dancing.
Ottawa rapper City Fidelia brought the early crowd to life in preparation for a night of hip hop on the main stage. Fresh off of his triple Grammy award win for his latest album in 2023, Killer Mike
accompanied by The Mighty Midnight Revival band delivered a soul-filled performance.
RBC Ottawa Bluesfest runs from July 4-14 at Lebreton Flats, with passes and tickets available here.
