Side By Side Weekend is putting the notion that Ottawa is a sleepy city to bed! Returning in-person this weekend at Club SAW from July 29th-31st, Side By Side Weekend is the 613’s hottest independent music festival. Championing a DIY ethos while granting artists of all experience levels and styles centre-stage, the three-day festival features co-presentations from fellow all-star local programmers: Cinqhole, Debaser, First Crush, Sitting On The Outside, and Ottawa Showbox.
The stacked, genre diverse lineup features shoegaze, alternative folk, hardcore, bedroom pop and post-gig dance parties! Whether you’re gearing up to watch your friend’s band or eager to find your new favourite artist, Side By Side Weekend always has something for everyone. We’re excited for the weekend all-around and some of our top picks include Boyhood, Jasmine Trails, fanclubwallet and Bitch Stick!
We’ll see you in between sets on both Club SAW’s indoor and outdoor stages all weekend long!
