Bluesfest lineup announced

The Flaming Lips, Soundgarden and Blue Rodeo are some of the acts headlining the 2011 Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest.

The Dropkick Murphys, Tegan and Sara, My Morning Jacket, Buddy Guy, Billy Talent , The Black Keys, Girl Talk and Peter Frampton will also hit the stage.

Rumours of U2, Bob Seger and Taylor Swift were just talk.

The Blacksheep stage is back by popular demand and the festival is offering a brand new Youth Passport to encourage music fans 18 and under to take in more of the acts in the summer festival.

It runs July 5th to the 17th at Lebreton Flats.

Artistic director Mark Monahan said there are still about 20 per cent of the acts that have to be confirmed.
