Green Day, Lainey Wilson, Kaytranada among 2025 Ottawa Bluesfest headliners
Country music starts it, dance music finishes it and there's a lot of rock and roll in the middle of the 2025 Ottawa Bluesfest lineup.
Tuesday morning's reveal for the annual LeBreton Flats event includes Lainey Wilson on the first night Thursday, July 10, Green Day Friday, July 18 and Montreal DJ Kaytranada closing the festival Sunday, July 20.
Headliners Turnstile, Def Leppard and Papa Roach will rip riffs until curfew, while recent local lineup-toppers Shania Twain, Hozier and Sean Paul are back atop nightly listings.
