The Guess Who, the reformed classic-rock band featuring original members Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, will be performing at the 2026 edition of Ottawa Bluesfest. This marks their first tour together in over twenty years.
Bluesfest, Ottawa's largest music festival, will take place from July 10 to 20, 2026, on the grounds of the Canadian War Museum at LeBreton Flats Park.
"The date is part of a Canadian tour celebrating the recent legal settlement that allowed Cummings and Bachman to reclaim the name of the band they started in Winnipeg six decades ago."
The legal settlement referenced secured the rights for Cummings and Bachman to use the band's name once again after many years.
Ottawa Bluesfest continues to bring premier acts and memorable experiences to the city, marking significant cultural milestones.
This tour and festival appearance highlight both a historic reunion for The Guess Who and the celebration of Ottawa's bicentennial, blending music and heritage.
