CityFolk announced its 2026 lineup, bringing a blend of R&B, pop and rock to a new venue in Ottawa.
The 2026 edition of the fall festival will be at Ottawa’s RA Centre, off Riverside Drive, more centrally located and with nearby transit options. The organizers are touting the festival as a “must-see” event, while still trying to appeal to both younger and older concertgoers.
“It’s another exciting turning point in our festival’s storied history,” CityFolk Executive and Artistic Director, Mark Monahan, said in the press release. “We feel confident that our varied fan base of all ages will love the new setup at the RA Centre, and the program speaks for itself.”
The TD Stage will include headliners like Alabama Shakes, Cameron Whitcomb, Third Eye Blind, Of Monsters and Men and Alice Cooper, closing out the five-day festival.
Pre-sale tickets are available on Wednesday, May 13 at 10:00 a.m., with general sale starting May 14.
