Ottawa Bluesfest 2025 [Day 5]

After a two day break, Ottawa Bluesfest 2025 made its return on Wednesday night—and so did the heat, both from the summer sun and the blazing performances on stage.
The night was packed with standout sets, including a scorching and politically charged performance by Tom Morello (see photos [here]), the gritty, high-voltage rock of Reignwolf, and a dynamic show from The Decemberists that had longtime fans singing along.
Local and regional talent also shone brightly, with impressive sets from Amos The Transparent, Beau Nectar, The Saradons, Luscious, and Funk Yo Self—each bringing their own energy and sound to the night’s eclectic lineup.
Check out the full gallery for highlights from the evening.
