#CityFolk

CityFolk has announced its 2025 festival lineup, with a hige mix of headliners—something to please the folk lovers and more.

Sunday night marked the fifth and final day of concerts at Lansdowne Park, as CityFolk completed the 2024 chapter of the festival. With Jason Isbell out due to illness, Maren Morris was bumped up into the headliner slot, allowing for a longer set for the rising star, which nobody was sad about.

A night of dancing ensued on day four of CityFolk, headlined by Milky Chance. The German pop-folk band were at their best, as the leading electric beats mixed with catchy hooks had most of the crowd off their feet.

After four straight days of perfect weather, the forecast for the grand finale today is just as ideal, so while organizers and fans might be rightfully disappointed that Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit won’t be able to perform, the conditions are still going to be perfect for those who will be closing out the festival.

It was an energy-fuelled start to the weekend, as Rise Against headlined night three of CityFolk in commanding fashion.

Yet another perfect night in the books, and one of the hardest rocking ones in the 30 year history of the festival. If you’re still sore from the mosh pit or the crowd surfing, fret not, as today’s lineup is a perfect mix of pop and indie rock to enjoy a little less aggressively. The odds of a mosh pit breaking out are pretty low.

Night two of CityFolk transported fans back in time to a different era—full of flowing hair, elaborate costumes, and five-minute guitar solos.

Another glorious night of music in the books, and hopes that the weather continues to cooperate in making each of these festival nights some of the most enjoyable to date. With a growing number of artists each day, today marks the first with a full slate on each stage, with a wide divergence in genres between the main stage and the tent, so there’s bound to be a spot for everyone.

One of Ottawa’s favourite festivals kicked off last night, as thousands descended upon Cityfolk 2024 at Lansdowne. Headlining night one was The Beaches, moving up from the late show to the main show in recent years. From playing The 27 Club in 2017, to the Bronson Centre in 2019 and early 2020, to heading up […]

We’ve made it to the end of the work week! While last weekend was a little cool and dreary, this weekend brings with it the return of summer’s heat. Take advantage of the sunny skies and enjoy the plethora of outdoor events taking place this weekend (and some great indoor events too)!
