The Ottawa Jazz Festival has released its summer lineup.

The eight-day festival is set to return to Confederation Park, Marion Dewar Plaza at Ottawa City Hall and the National Arts Centre from June 21 to June 30.

The festival will see headlining acts such as Norah Jones, Lake Street Dive, Laufey, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Kathleen Edwards, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Al Di Meola (The Electric Years) and Veronica Swift, all playing on the main stage.

"We are thrilled to unveil such an extraordinary lineup for this year's Ottawa Jazz Festival," said the festival's interim executive and artistic director Petr Cancura. "Each artist brings their own unique style and talent, promising an unforgettable experience for all music lovers."

The festival will open on June 21 with Montreal-based band Bellbird, followed by Oceans and Tim Berne – Auroa Nealand – Hank Roberts; Darcy James Argue's Secret Society and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.

Passes start at $430 for full-festival Gold passes, $275 for Bronze Passes and $130 for youth passes (not including taxes and fees).

Single day passes are also available online.

"Hardcore music fans should definitely consider buying a full Festival Bronze Pass if attending three or more shows at this year’s Ottawa Jazz Festival," said Cancura.

Besides the main stage headliners, audiences will find other artists to choose from at the After Dark Series at Marion Dewar Plaza with acts such as The Yussef Dayes Experience, Butcher Brown, Huntertones, Begonia and Moon Hooch.

The Fourth Stage and the Azrieli Studio at the National Arts Centre will include artists Kurt Elling, Chris Potter, Tom Harrell, Charlie Hunter and Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society.
