Skynard, JJ Grey, Lukas Nelson? Yes please. There really isn't a band on here that I wouldn't enjoy seeing. This is a nice lineup that's doesn't come off a gimmicky.

Solid, and good to see them mixing in stuff other than classic rock retreads (not that I didn't enjoy a little Night Ranger and Foreigner in recent years). Gretna Fest

Will be doing some stage bouncing and going multiple days to see among others-

Lukas Nelson
Blues Traveler
Trampled by Turtles
Los Lobos
Dumpstaphunk
Iceman Special
J & The Causeways
Zita
Them Ol' Ghosts

By the way, we'll have our Rugaroux Q Hogs team out there serving off Huey P. Long in the Italian Village.

Haven't been in years, but I always liked Gretna Fest and was always set up well. Might go this year.

The Iceman Special should have larger font and reside in the top stack.

Also… it takes stones to name your band ZZ anything …(Yes I know it’s her initials).

This is the main act I am going for. He's one of the best live performers out there today. I'm hoping Lukas Nelson is on the same day, because it will be difficult for me to make more than one day.

Blues Travelers are criminally underrated live.
Live set from last September - there's a few pro shot videos from 2019 on Youtube as well.

Turtles are a great get.

Living Colour are still pretty good live
with Steve Vai at Rock in Rio last year (largest music festival in the world)
LINK

I'd love to try to go

I'm just curious who is playing what days and the time of the LSU game
