That is not official. Research was done on tour dates for every band. The weekends should be proper but the days are suspect.

Thanks Unc Buck. I like that line-up, but I get the feeling it might be a down year for attendance.

There is no chance all those names are playing JF...I'd have to buy weekend passes and go every day.

Just a couple questions? Forgive the novice questions. I've only been to one JazzFest and that was probably 2008ish. Whatever year it was had The Counting Crows and they were to perform the Friday and it STORMED. Put us geting into NOLA and the hotel late and by the time we got there we didn't even want to head back to the venue and the storm and flooding. So, to sum up, its been a while.

Concert/fest still held in same old former horse track?

Is the situation on getting a ride cab/shuttle/whatever improved at all? I recall standing in a SKETCHY park waiting in a massive cab line. The only reason we got a cab within an hour was a fight broke out and everyone ran to watch the fight. We strolled up into an now vacated line. Otherwise we might still be waiting on a cab.

I only went to the one JazzFest and enjoyed the Festival itself, but the "journey" back to the Quarter was an "Odyssey"! My assumption is that improvements have been made to the venue, system, or area? the time I was there was only 3 years after Katrina, so.....?

Any insight? Huge Pearl Jam fan and huge New Orleans fan.
