The Ottawa Bluesfest has announced its lineup for this year's event, which is scheduled to take place July 8 to 19.

Last year, the festival celebrated its 20th anniversary with performances by Blake Shelton, Blondie and Lady Gaga.

Concertgoers may remember the festival best for its 2011 edition, when a storm came barrelling through the event and knocked down a stage. Cheap Trick had just started its set when the thunderstorm struck, blowing the stage onto the band's equipment truck. Vocalist Robin Zander was among the few who were hurt, but no fatalities were reported.

"It was complete pandemonium," manager Dave Frey told Rolling Stone after the incident. "It's so unbelievable that with everything that happened, with the crowd, tents flying away and debris flying, with everything going on, there were less than a dozen people at the hospital with mostly minor injuries."

The group filed a lawsuit against the festival and stage company in 2013 to collect money for damages to its equipment.
