It’s almost Jazz Fest, which means Live For Live Music is heading to New Orleans for its annual Fest by Nite event series. This year’s series includes 20 evening and late-night shows around the Big Easy from Thursday, April 25th through Sunday, May 5th in addition to the two-day Daze Between New Orleans festival on Tuesday, April 30th and Wednesday, May 1st.
From nationally touring acts performing unique live projects to beloved Jazz Fest late-night traditions to one-off, all-star ensembles channeling the spirit of New Orleans, this year’s eclectic series provides a little something for everyone. With concerts set to take place following all eight days of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as well as during the mid-week “Daze Between”—when the Fair Grounds go quiet but the city remains alive with festive energy—Fest by Nite is the ultimate companion for your Jazz Fest trip.
