Celebrting its 30th anniversary this April, the French Quarter Festival today released the full lineup of bands to perform during the four-day event, April 11-14.
On twenty (of its twenty-one) music stages, only Louisiana artists are featured.
The festival also hosts one 'International Stage' where traditional jazz bands from all over the world perform. 1,400 musicians will perform on more than 20 stages throughout the French Quarter.
Notable artists who will be performing at French Quarter Festival’s 30th anniversary celebration include: Soul Rebels, George Porter, Jr. & Runnin’ Pardners, NOLA Nightingale Revue, Raw Oyster Cult, Bonerama, Chris Owens, Delfeayo Marsalis & The Uptown Jazz Orchestra, Harmonouche, Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and more.
Organizers say part of the great appeal of French Quarter Festival is that attendees get a true and authentic New Orleans experience - locals and visitors can hear a broad range of artists and a diverse variety of musical styles and genres.
