OT: 2015 Ottawa Music Festival and Concerts Thread

[Big Papi]

Run the Jewels is this like a Weird Al type Hip hop act?

 

[bdp]

Expect the Bluesfest line-up to be announced a week today, March 24th. Early bird tickets on sale within 1-2 days of that.

Bluesfest and Osheaga will be unveiling their lineups on the same day, crazy.

[DrEasy]

You had me at Patrick Watson, but this is a very nice line up.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

What a stacked lineup.

 

[Spire2000]

And only one weekend...

 

[Senscore]

It's a stacked lineup but it's pretty similar to the one they had 3 years ago.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Do we know when the Bluesfest lineup will be announced? I've heard rumours that it will be announced this Tuesday, but don't know for sure. Anyone know?

Only a handful know for sure, but word is Tuesday. I haven't actually heard that from my usual source but rather just a lot of different places.

Apprently the lineup leaked, seeing this get passed around on fb

I really like the rap acts they got this year, only problem is they seem pretty spread out across the different days and I'm not very interested in the other performers.

Cant' speak to how good this lineup looks but I am really impressed with the rappers they got, bluesfest is really upping their game.

 

[Senscore]

If true, that's pretty good.


Very happy to see Chvrches there. Missed them last year at Osheaga. Just hope they aren't playing same time as Run the Jewels.

 

[littleD]

Weird leak.

Dates are different. Bluesfest site has always shown July 9-19.

Weird Al confirmed for July 19.

I listen to a lot of rap, but don't know Chance the Rapper very well. Big enough to be a nightly headliner?

I could see five nights out of that leak that I'm interested in, but not many headliners.

Also interested to see what the different tiered pricing for festival passes means.

 

[benjiv1]

Brutal list.

Was hoping for the Foo Fighters, based on their other your dates.

Only one I might see is Dropkick Murphy.

ya Chance is definitely big enough. I'm pretty sure most hip hop fans know him pretty well, he was really popular in 2013 and he might have a bit of mainstream appeal because he was featured on a Bieber song.

 

[Shanny]

What a disappointment, no Foo Fighters either?....not impressed compared to previous years. Definitely won't be buying a pass this year.

‏@ottawabluesfest
Hey RBC Bluesfest fans! Stay tuned, we'll be issuing a statement this evening clarifying the media reporting and providing more information.

I would wait as this does not seem to be the full line up.

 

[bdp]

Can't wait to see FILL_IN_THE_BLANK!

 

[mat_sens]

I can't speak for much else than Electronic Acts, but there is some solid dance music producers in this list. Ilan Bluestone, Porter Robinson, Paul Oakenfold.

Also excited for CHVRCHES.

 

[GoSensGo6172]

And looks like their 2-3 year run of having a solid EDM feature is officially. Porter Robinson is awesome and Paul Oakenfold is cool, but nothing massive.

Opening night rumour? Probably be the most attended show of the festival.

Of course, I know next to zero about electronic music, so I could be way off.

Skrillex is massive.

Yeah, FULL Flex Express (Diplo, Skrillex, Pretty Lights, etc) is a huge electronic booking, although not my cup of tea. They haven't booked as many EDM acts but solid ones. Add Ilan Bluestone to that list, check him out if you haven't heard of him.
