FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
“Another fantastic year at NOLA JazzFest! Great music, great friends, great FOOD and great weather! Don't miss this show if you can help it!”
“It was an awesome weekend with fantastic music with great friends/family. I was happy to introduce my daughter to her 1st jazz fest & she loved it. We'll be back.”
“Great music, friendly people, awesome food. This was the first time I attended jazz fest and it will not be my last. I can't wait to go back next year.”
There's not a bad act in this lineup on any day, and what an outstanding deal (even at the gate price, well worth it). Lionel Ritchie stole our hearts - but every tent was outstanding.
Jazz Fest was awesome and well worth the money. The stages are set high off the ground which gives the entire audience a great view of the performers. The variety of music makes this event appealing to every kind of music taste. I would recommend this event to everyone! The food was pricey (as expected) but oh so good. The only downfall would be the extremely pricey souvenirs and extras.
jazz fest is amazing and the best deal ever the best act was midnite disturbers
Great event overall sans the rAin on the first day. Go with the standard pass. The krew offers no additional advantage
blast from the past...very entertaining..timeless classic from the world famous dou.
I have lived in Louisiana before but I have never went to the jazz feast. Wow. It was rainy but so worth the trip from DC
What a wonderful day for Jazz Fest.....wasn't over crowded and everyone was having a good time! Enjoyed all the music and food, of course! Lousiana LaRoux, Tab Benoit, Cyril Nevill, Dr John, Allen Tousaint and all the local favorites, Wayne Toups, Marcia Ball and Darius Rucker.....all put on a great show......it was a just a great day!
Watching Cowboy Mouth, Better Than Ezra, and Simon and Garfunkle 10 yards (literally) from the stage was unbelievable! Having this experience, I wouldn't do the Jazz Festival any other way.
It was my 1st year to go-i will be taking off EVERY year to go from now on....LOVED LOVED LOVED. Everyone on the music schedule....showed up and showed out. EVERYONE DID THEIR THANG!!!!
