The Krewe of Endymion, one of Carnival's largest parades, will roll along its traditional Mid-City route in 2023 with the theme "Endymion Salutes the Poets."


quote:

The headliners for this year's Extravaganza, the krewe announced Thursday, are Hootie and the Blowfish frontman turned country hitmaker Darius Rucker and the current incarnation of classic rock band Foreigner.

Other acts who will entertain riders and their guests at the convention center include the Atlanta-based cover band Party on the Moon, which performs at the Extravaganza every year, as well as local cover bands Groovy 7 and The Wiseguys.

I love the wording here. At least they are being straightforward with everyone, I suppose.

After Maroon Five and Diana Ross last year, what a fricking let down, and I loved Foreigner back in the 70’s and 80’s…

Without Lou Gramm, who wants a to see them…

I’m undecided if I’m going this year. It seems anytime the Extravaganza is in the Convention Center due to Dome renovations they don’t get as good of acts as when they are in the Dome.

I wonder what other washed up bands were approached first.

We had Diana Ross last year in the Superdome and she was exceptional.
We were not going to get the top notch entertainment this year in the convention center because they can’t sell nearly as many tickets.

They were negotiating with Katie Perry but they couldn’t work out a financial deal.

The founder of Endymion is 82 years old and has severe Alzheimer’s disease. I promise, he is not laughing all the way to the bank.
