Rumor has it...
There’s a rumor being reported by Offbeat Magazine that the first big name band has been signed for this year’s Jazz Fest. That band is U2. I guess it’ll pack them in, but I think I’ll miss that day. I was hoping for a much more low key Fest this year. Maybe it would be a return to it’s roots, one stage in Congo Square and a $5.00 admission. In attendance would be just us locals and a few friends who really appreciate what the Fest is all about. But my wish will not be granted, rather it looks like it will be a “Super Bowl Halftime extravaganza Jazz Fest,” hopefully without the fireworks.
No matter what happens we’ll be there some of the time, hanging at the Lagniappe stage (if it’s still there) and trying to stay out of the way.
