NOBRO

NOBRO took Ottawa by storm with their show at Club SAW. See our photos.

Take a look at some photos from CityFolk Day 1 (Sept. 13)! Performances of the night included bands Busty and the Bass, NOBRO, and Iggy Pop.

As usual, we’ll have you covered throughout the festival with daily previews to get you geared up for that day’s CityFolk lineup. Kicking off the five-day festival, Wednesday’s lineup may be small with only three artists, but makes up for it (and then some) with intensity.

CityFolk organizers have announced the full lineup for 2023’s festival, which will take place September 13–17 on the Great Lawn at Lansdowne Park.

It’s a busy early-summer weekend in Ottawa. From ByWard Market to biking, here’s the ultimate list of things to do this weekend.

Club SAW will host not one but TWO great underrated unique rock bands Thursday night when NOBRO and the OBGMs co-headline a double-barrelled shot of punk at the intimate venue as part of their Stay Rad Tour.

Canadian punk rock icons Billy Talent were back in town after several years away, to play a packed TD Place Arena.

See the shows Apt613 contributors look forward to most in Ottawa-Gatineau!

One of the best kept secrets in Ottawa festivals is the annual Hopped and Confused hosted by Mill Street Brewpub each August. The cozy location boasts some amazing elements that most of the big festivals can only wish for: an intimate setting where you can get up close to the stage, a full service restaurant in addition to the outdoor booths (which includes a taqueria this year!), a massive selection of craft beer, as well as a selection of Brickworks Ciderhouse, and maybe most importantly: indoor washrooms!
