The full lineup for the 2020 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has been announced. Along with the jazz and blues we’ve all come to expect, major headliners include iconic rock bands, legendary soul and R&B artists, hip-hop, Gospel, bluegrass, reggae and Americana artists along with tributes to Dave Bartholomew, Art Neville and Dr. John.
This year’s official poster was conceived and created by native New Orleans artist and musician Scott Guion. The poster honors the late Dr. John, who “occupies an eternal, ethereal and majestic place in hoodoo heaven – a New Orleans otherworld he conjured from the tendrils of reconstructed history for all to savor.” This year’s slogan for Jazz Fest is “Right Place, Right Time” paying further homage to one of NOLA’s favorite sons. Artist prints of the poster can be purchased here.
With hundreds of acts spanning 8 big days, the event takes place over 2 weekends: Thursday thru Sunday, April 23rd – 26th and April 30th – May 3rd. While there is no possible way to see all the acts performing, we’ve listed them here for your perusal. (With special thanks to nola.com)
