Voodoo Fest is a festival with no identity.

Appealing to no one by trying to appeal to everyone. The line ups consistently make me say “I wouldn’t mind seeing them, but I don’t want to pay $75+ to see them”.


Yeah, this lineup is a far cry from QOTSA -> APC - White Stripes on the Sunday main stage in 2003.

All I ask for from Voodoo is to provide 1 band a year that I really want to see at this point.

They've gone back to back for the first time in awhile.

2018 - APC
2019 - BMTH

That's the first year I ever went. Seeing those bands back to back to back was incredible. I only went that day, as the day before that was pretty crap Nu-Metal and Marylin Manson. There was also a home LSU game.

'04 Saturday was also great. Among other bands, the final three to play on the main stage were Pixies, Green Day, then Beastie Boys.

I bought early bird for '05 then Katrina happened and they closed the fest off to just those that already had tickets and the emergency services workers. The lineup was pretty good originally but they cut it to 1 day and some bands played in Memphis. It was still a fun time and seeing QOTSA and NIN back to back was awesome.

Such a shame that you go from lineups like that to this.

They do have one band a year I want to see. The problem is that its only one band. Very rarely do they have two bands total, much less on the same day, I care about. I've skipped some of my all time favorites, including some I will never have the chance to see again because the rest of the lineup is so bad. GNR were great in the dome. I'd go see them there again for sure. I don't want to deal with this festival though.
