Nothing says spring quite like jazz in the Big Easy.
For the next two weekends, it’s officially spring.
On April 28-30 and May 4-7, that boogie-woogie music is coming in full force to the Paris of the South when the New Orleans Jazz Festival marches its way into the New Orleans Fairgrounds.
And, of course, it’s not just jazz at the fest.
Mega stars from a number of genres will be performing both weekends.
Just a few of the biggest names set to headline include Dead and Company with John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Lizzo, Santana and The Lumineers.
Mumford and Sons, Jill Scott, Jon Batiste, Tom Jones and Robert Plant with Alison Krauss are also on the bill.
