🎷 A Little Jazz Fest History

For over 50 years, Jazz Fest has been the heartbeat of New Orleans’ music scene, celebrating everything that makes this city the crown jewel of culture. What started in 1970 with local legends like Mahalia Jackson and Duke Ellington has blossomed into a world-famous event drawing hundreds of thousands of revelers each year. From jazz to zydeco, blues to gospel, rock to funk—you name it, Jazz Fest brings it. And let’s not forget the food: gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish bread, and pralines, all served up with love by local chefs and vendors.

Oh, and this year’s lineup? Absolute fire.

🎤 Star-Studded Lineup

Pearl Jam, anyone? How about the iconic Dave Matthews Band? Country sensation Luke Combs will take the stage, alongside hip-hop royalty Lil Wayne and The Roots. Got a little pop-country flair in your heart? Kacey Musgraves is bringing her golden hour magic. And for the rock gods among us, Lenny Kravitz and Santana will blow your minds. These headliners are just the beginning, with dozens of local and international artists rounding out the bill. Whether you’re swaying to soulful jazz or rocking out with a guitar riff, there’s something for everyone.

🎟 Tickets, Passes, and Special Deals

Now, let’s talk tickets. The festival runs across two fabulous weekends, April 25-28 and May 2-5. Four-day weekend passes are the way to go, so you can soak up every glorious minute of music, food, and culture. These passes are available online at www.nojazzfest.com, so grab them before they sell out.

If you’re a local (lucky you!), there are special Louisiana Residents’ ticket options, perfect for catching a day of music without breaking the bank. And for all you planners out there, early bird ticket options are also up for grabs. This is the kind of event where the early bird really does get the jazz worm, so don’t sleep on it!
