Our Take: The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, Neil Young Crazy Horse, Anderson .Paak, HOZIER, Jon Batiste; Queen Latifah, Vampire Weekend, Greta Van Fleet, Heart, Widespread Panic, Trombone Shorty, and these are just the “headliners.” Along with Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest defines and shapes New Orleans culture. Not just jazz but almost every genre of music can be found at the fest. The Gospel, Jazz, and Blues tents provide smaller venues and ballpark style seating for those who want to get out of the sun. And, despite the crowds and amazing lineup of nationally known artists, Jazz Fest has retained and enhanced its dedication to the roots of New Orleans culture.
