MYSTERY CONCERTS SERIES
Catch some of the Festival's top talents in FREE encore performances the day after their initial show. But we're not saying who… because it's a mystery and there's only one way to find out!
Ottawa Morning host Robyn Bresnahan will announce the musicians performing in the Mystery Concert the morning of the weekday shows. The Saturday, June 25th show will be announced on CBC In Town and Out with host Giacomo Panico.
Mystery Concerts will take place at noon at Marion Dewar Plaza on June 24, 25, 27 and 30. The 5th show will take place at the Mercury Lounge on June 28 at 10:30pm.
Each Mystery Concert morning, CBC will provide one lucky winner with a pair of tickets to the full lineup of shows taking place that evening on the Main Stage at Confederation Park and at the Tartan Homes Stage at Marion Dewar Plaza in front of City Hall.
Let the guessing begin!
