Montreal has some excellent representation at the 2016 Ottawa Bluesfest (July 7-17, 2016), including Coeur de Pirate, Half Moon Run and Wolf Parade, but check out this lineup. We think we see a few blues acts in there, and who’s going to quibble with the chance to see Duran Duran and the Chili Peppers as well as Brad Paisley AND the Monkees and Awolnation at the same festival, so let’s hear it for covering the spectrum. And pass me the ibuprofen because I’ve got music whiplash! Tickets are now on sale.
