American rapper G-Eazy is no longer coming to
Ottawa to play Bluesfest in July
because of what organizers described as an “unforeseen scheduling conflict.”
The artist best known for the 2015 chart-topper Me, Myself and I had been booked to play the RBC Main stage on July 17. His appearance was sandwiched between the headliner, dancehall pioneer Sean Paul, and the opener, the Ottawa duo of Dystoh, a dance-y side project for two members of Ottawa’s Souljazz Orchestra.
“We’re working to fill that slot and will have an update soon,” the festival said on social media.
The 31st edition of Bluesfest takes place July 10-20 at LeBreton Flats Park on the grounds of the Canadian War Museum. The
program features headliners Green Day, Shania Twain, Def Leppard
and many more.
