The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, colloquially known as New Orleans Jazz Fest, is all set for this year's extravaganza with some of the biggest names in the music scene. Held at the iconic New Orleans Fair Grounds from April 25 to May 5, 2024, this humungous fest will be led by The Rolling Stones, one of the greatest bands of all time.
Joining The Rolling Stones in the headliner's column are more iconic performers like Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, and Vampire Weekend, among many others.
Even the other acts are not devoid of star power, with artists like Hozier, Anderson .Paak, Free Nationals, Queen Latifah, Jon Batiste, Widespread Panic, Bonnie Raitt, Rhiannon Giddens, Allison Russell, and Earth Wind & Fire taking up important time slots.
The festival runs Thursday through Sunday (April 25-29) and then again next week Thursday through Sunday (May 2-5). The Rolling Stones will perform on May 2 as a part of the British rockers' North American tour.
