The motto for the last day of Bluesfest seemed to be "the show must go on." Rapper K'Naan and rockers the Trews were two of the night's most highly anticipated acts to start late, but for good reason. K'Naan suffered airline delays, starting his set on the Main Stage almost a half-hour later than scheduled, and pushing R&B singer Weeknd's set on the Claridge Homes Stage back a bit. The Trews were also close to cancelling their own show as their bassist was hospitalized in Edmonton, forcing the band to find a replacement. After a frantic soundcheck, the band from Nova Scotia took to the stage 20 minutes later. Click through the gallery to see photos of K'Naan, the Trews, Wintersleep, the Weeknd and Metric.
