UPDATE - 7/9@9:52AM: Here's a review and photo gallery from the Ottawa Sun (thanks John at Cygnus-X1.net) and a nice photo gallery that was posted over at Cygnus-X1.net.

UPDATE - 7/9@9:33AM: Here's a review from the Ottawa Citizen.

UPDATE - 7/8@10:59PM: The show is over and they did indeed play a special, truncated festival set. It was just about identical to the Sweden Rock Festival setlist except for the addition of one extra song from Clockwork Angels. You can check out the complete setlist here.

UPDATE - 7/8@8:49PM: Rumor has it that tonight's setlist will be a truncated, 2-hour set without intermission similar to the Sweden Rock Festival show. This is consistent with the Ottawa Bluesfest website which has them scheduled to play the Bell Stage from 8:30 to 10:30.

Rush will play the first of 2 Canadian festival shows tonight when they roll the Clockwork Angels tour into the Ottawa Bluesfest for stop #28 of the 2013 tour. They'll play the Quebec City Summer Festival later this week. Rush played one of their Night B sets for the fans in Hamilton Sunday night, so tonight's crowd should be seeing a Night A setlist. I'll post confirmation of this as soon as I learn about it. For everyone going to the show tonight, have fun, be safe, and make sure to share your photos, videos and reports with us. RUUSSSHHHH!!!!!
