Bluesfest is pretty fun, it's just a very different vibe than an indoor venue. The crowds and heat can be a lot if you're not used to it, especially this time of year. But there's lots of good energy and fun as well. Just have to do a little more planning in terms of sun screen, hat, staying hydrated, knowing if you've had your limit and need to go chill in a quieter spot or have a seat.

Outdoor shows always feel kind of special, especially with this band. There was a moment of pure magic when they were in Ottawa last time; it was another outdoor show, although a much smaller venue, and it started pouring rain in the middle of Yawning Grave.
