Trey Anastasio Band Likely To Perform At This Year’s New Orleans Jazz Fest

One of the last major hold outs for spring festival announcements is the famed New Orleans Jazz Fest, which is set to return to the Fairgrounds from April 28th through May 7th. Though the lineup is due out any day now, one particular artist of interest is likely to be featured on it: the Trey Anastasio Band.

The most compelling bit of evidence comes from percussionist Cyro Baptista, the newest re-addition to the TAB lineup. Baptista’s website includes a full listing of tour dates, specifically detailing which ones are as a member of the Trey Anastasio Band. One such tour date includes the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 28th, as notated by our friends at Relix. The billing makes sense, as TAB has a festival-heavy schedule with appearances at Wanee, SweetWater 420, Summer Camp, DelFest, High Sierra and more.

This would mark TAB’s first appearance at Jazz Fest since 2005, but their front man did perform at the festival with that other band, Phish, in 2014. Only time will tell whether these rumors are indeed true, but the Jazz Fest lineup should be out any day now.
