Bluesfest 2025

In case you missed the first night of Bluesfest, or you just want to relive the concerts, check out our Gig Photos here.

The 2025 Ottawa Bluesfest kicks off Day 1 with country front and centre on the main stage, but there will be plenty of funk and ska on other three stages to keep non-country fans well entertained as well.

It’s another HOT summer in Ottawa, but there’s plenty to do. From regular events like Atlético Ottawa games and bingo to special events like the NAC Orchestra performing Murdoch Mysteries with the man himself, Yannick Bisson, there’s lots to do.

Back for the 31st edition, Ottawa Bluesfest unveiled their diverse and exciting lineup for 2025 at midnight. Headliners span across the genres, from punk-rockers Green Day to Ireland’s Hozier to one of dance music’s finest in Kaytranada.
