Heh, looks like I can afford a day of #OttawaBluesfest this year 👀

I owe it to my teenage self to go break some stuff. Hopefully not my old lady back 🤘😁

How's this for a big reveal?! 🤩

Live music galleries: Los Bitchos [2025] Artist: Los Bitchos When: July 18th, 2025 Where: Lebreton Flats Park, Ottawa Bluesfest, Ottawa Context: Sick of me blabbing about Ottawa Bluesfest yet? Last one*, I promise… A couple of days ago, I posted some photos and words about the early set by LA’s The Linda Lindas but what I didn’t mention is that I cut out a few minutes early so that I could catch the last half of the side stage set by Los Bitchos.

Live music galleries: The Linda Lindas [2025] Artist: The Linda Lindas When: July 18th, 2025 Where: Lebreton Flats Park, Ottawa Bluesfest, Ottawa Context: I’d heard tell of The Linda Lindas, the all female punk band from Los Angeles, and had heard their cover of "Found a job" on the recent Talking Heads tribute album but that was it. Still, I had marked them as an artist of interest at the festival because I’d heard good things, definitely words that suggested no one should or could hold their ages against them*.

Green Day greenlights Bluesfest night of new, old punk rock - The Charlatan, Carleton's independent newspaper To a plentiful crowd, Green Day headlined Bluesfest with a thunderous performance of punk rock, nostalgic classics.

Massive crowd and most enthusiastic #OttawaBluesfest show I’ve seen. Beautiful to see kids and adults alike jam to music that’s aged like fine wine. Only for @GreenDay. 21 Guns was an ethereal experience.

Shred alert 🚨 @greenday.bsky.social tonight. “Not part of the MAGA agenda” went especially hard during American Idiot 🤘

Now I’ve seen both Weird Al’s parody Canadian Idiot and the original American Idiot live 💚 😄 #OttawaBluesfest

Hey #ottawabluesfest how about some more water stations!! It’s a severe heat warning and we found 2 water stations. Come on. I’m 100% sure this was a complaint last year too.

It is definitely still hot & humid, but not so bad when you sit down (& LRT fare included with a pass) #ottawabluesfest

Live music galleries: The Tea Party [2024] (It’s the eve of the first day of this year’s edition of Ottawa Bluesfest! Can you tell I’m excited? I bought a full pass when they went on sale back at the end of February and I had no idea if I’d be well enough to attend any of it. I’ve been looking forward to it ever since. I still don’t know how many of the shows I’ll get to but I’m looking at it all as a bonus.

Don't you hate "discovering" a band 20 years after they peaked? Fucking Internet doing what it was originally designed to do. Bring us all together instead of ripping us all apart.

FWIW, If anyone is in Ottawa this week, by all means catch #thecatempire at #ottawabluesfest.

WTF?! Why are there no prices listed for tickets for #OttawaBluesFEst? Why do they have to be in my cart before I see a god damned price?
