New Orleans, LA (AHN) – This year’s New Orleans’ Jazz Fest boasts a roster of famous names and will serve as a homecoming of sorts for hundreds of the city’s most famous musicians. Fats Domino, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Keith Urban and Yolanda Adams top the list of headliners.
Many other big acts will grace the festival, such as the Dave Matthews Band, Lionel Richie and Jimmy Buffet.
The festival is scheduled to take place April 28th-30th and May 5th-7th. As usual, it will be held at the New Orleans Fair Grounds, a horseracing track that flooded and was seriously damaged during Hurricane Katrina.
The festival was initiated in 1970 and has grown into one of this city´s biggest annual events, along with Mardi Gras.
