Ottawa Bluesfest Drops 2024 Lineup with Mötley Crüe, Tyler Childers, Neil Young & More

Ottawa Bluesfest is back and celebrating big. The 2024 edition marks 30 years of the iconic summer festival, running July 4–14 at LeBreton Flats. Expect nine days of live music, sunshine, and a crowd of more than 250,000 fans.
We already knew Mötley Crüe and Tyler Childers were headlining, but now the full lineup is out and it’s stacked. Over 80 artists are set to play, covering just about every genre.
Pop fans are getting a mix of new and nostalgic, with sets from Maroon 5, Future Islands, and Ottawa’s own TALK. Neil Young & Crazy Horse headline the legacy crowd, while country lovers can catch Orville Peck, Charley Crockett, and Zac Brown Band.
Rock fans, your bases are covered with Nickelback, The Tea Party, and JJ Wilde. Hip-hop hits hard this year with legends NAS, 50 Cent, and Killer Mike.
Want to check out some rising names? Look out for Chelsea Cutler, Noah Cyrus, Ziggy Alberts, and Mt. Joy. And as always, the festival shines a light on local talent. This year includes City Fidelia, JW Jones, Summersets, Lynne Hanson, Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin, and plenty more.
A one-day presale for festival passes starts tomorrow at 10am. Single-day tickets go live March 2 at 10am.
