Voodoo Fest. Questions

Expect a younger / college age crowd. Lots of costumes (its Halloween).

Voodoo has rap, rock (not so much this year), electronic, etc all types of music which is why I love it.

I think your best way to get there from harrahs, would be the street car.

Walking or driving?

It's a 5 mile walk between Harrah's and the park.

There's usually city buses right by Harrah's on Canal that will take you directly to City Park (make sure it's the express line), it's like $1.50 each way and 40 minutes faster than the street cars.

I went last year and just parked around Delgado and walked to the fest.

The schedule usually isnt released until a few weeks before the festival

And M&S will only headline one night of Fri, Sat, Sun. All 3 days probably shows up on their website because even they don’t know yet

Approaching 40....

Like jazz fest but...

Crowd is reverse in age. Instead of hanging out with 58-year-olds, there will be many college kids.

The weather is so nice. The humidity at jazz fest can be bad.

The artists are mostly still in their primes. Jazzfest gives you a nursing home full of artists.

Both are crowded, but I always liked Voodoo...especially 4 years ago with The Cure. And there is always a hidden gem off the beaten path. At Jazzfest, I can only watch the Radiators so many times.

The fun part is when you can hear the electronic stage off in the distance, in between songs at one of the rock stages.

LOTS of kids, and security at the gate is usually not a fast process...

They seem to move the gate every single year, which is something that I can't really wrap my head around (they actually move most of everything though, stages etc).

Yes and no, crazies have moved to Le plur stage

I accidentally pissed on a girl last year at Foo Fighters so no it is still that bad

In my brief experience, all kinds of people show up. Nothing threatening that I’ve seen. But that was pre-Katrina.
