2017’s Jazz Fest is right around the corner and feeling sooner than ever with the release of the Jazz Fest cubes this morning. The cubes, which layout the official schedules for both weekends, are a cause of pleasure and pain for attendees, outlining where our favorite act we’re trying to catch will perform as well as bringing to light time conflicts inevitable with such a stacked lineup. You can check out the cubes for the first weekend, running from April 28 to 30th, and the second weekend, running from May 4th to 7th, below or on the Jazz Fest website here.
For those of us making it down to New Orleans this year for Jazz Fest, the cubes are just the beginning of figuring out which awesome performances to hit. Check out the line-up for Live For Live Music’s Late-Night After Jazz Fest series here, which will be bringing a bunch of special musical performances you won’t want to miss to The Howlin’ Wolf. The NOLA Crawfish King and Live for Live Music will also be teaming up for the second annual NOLA Crawfish Festival, a three-day festival nestled in the time between the two Jazz Fest weekends. You can find more information about the NOLA Crawfish Festival here, whose all-star lineup features a bunch of supergroups including the likes of George Porter Jr., John Medeski, Eric Krasno, Luther Dickinson, Jon Cleary, Ivan Neville, and many more.
