Gwen Stefani, HARDY, Conan Gray: 2026 Ottawa Bluesfest lineup released

It’s a mix of music for all generations: The 2026 Bluesfest lineup has big-name headliners among a mix of pop, rock and country bands and soloists.

In a press release, the music festival, which runs July 9-19 at LeBreton Flats, said its goal is to provide award-winning artists at an affordable price.

“The goal of the Bluesfest team is to present a world-class festival and keep it accessible and affordable for all,” Mark Monahan, executive and artistic director for Bluesfest, said.

A one-day pre-sale will take place on Feb. 25 from 10:00 a.m. to midnight. A shareable pass for $279 is part of the tickets people can buy, which allows access to all the festival days.

“This price will be available for one day only. We encourage fans to support the festival by buying a nine-day pass and sharing it with family and friends,” Monahan said.

July 19 will be a special day of the festival as Bluest will be focusing on the municipality’s 200th anniversary.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to celebrate the rich history of our city, and we look forward to contributing to a year of impactful commemorative events, while being a part of Ottawa’s vibrant future,” he said.
