Voodoo Fest founder Stephen Rehage has sold the festival he launched in City Park in 1999, according to Billboard magazine. The festival, formally known as the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, was reportedly purchased by media mogul Robert F. X. Sillerman’s reborn SFX Entertainment.

Speaking of his recent acquisitions, Sillerman told Billboard, "They're not specifically EDM, but they're great festivals. Voodoo has been operated on as a sole practitioner on relatively small level, and we think it has upside not just in New Orleans but elsewhere. It's a fabulous name, amongst other things, so we think we'll be able to help Steve [Rehage], the owner and operator, take that to other markets."

Sillerman told the New York Times that his intention was to continue to allow the founders of the festivals he acquires to run those events as they see fit.
