The announcement of the annual RBC Bluesfest seems to get earlier and earlier every year.
The 26 year old event has just unveiled its summer lineup with acts such as Alanis Morrissette (whose 1995 album Jagged Little Pill is celebrating 25 years with a tour and a Broadway musical). She joins the previously announced Rage Against The Machine, Jack Johnson, Vance Joy, Jade Bird, Marshmello, Lil Tecca, and the Saints and Sinners Tour of Canadian bands featuring Big Wreck, Headstones, Moist, and The Tea Party.
The festival opens July 9 and runs to July 19. Passes go on sale on Feb. 19 at ottawabluesfest.ca.
