2012 Ottawa Bluesfest Lineup Announced
While it may be called the Ottawa Bluesfest, there really isn't anything bluesy about their 2012 lineup. Iron Maiden, Lauryn Hill, Skrillex, LMFAO, The Melvins, Metric, Snoop Dogg, Alice Cooper, and Norah Jones are just some of the musical acts appearing this year, while the Canadian contingent includes Our Lady Peace, City and Colour, Blue Rodeo, K'Naan, Nickelback, and Metric, to name a few.
