The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival never ceases to amaze with their line-ups, and this year is no different. The festival, which takes place between April 26th and May 5th in New Orleans, announced the line-up for Jazzfest 2013, and it contains a huge mix of mainstream headliners, jazz heavyweights, and New Orleans staples.
Huge names include Billy Joel, Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, The Black Keys, who will be joined by legends like Earth Wind and Fire, BB King, Jimmy Cliff, and Willie Nelson. Other names to note include Phoenix, Frank Ocean, Widespread Panic, John Mayer, and Gary Clark Jr. – but there are truly too many artists to name here.
Besides the music, Jazzfest 2013 includes many craft marketplaces, a variety of New Orleans inspired food areas, and many cultural markets and villages. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here. Check out the full line-up below.
