The day-by-day breakdown for this year’s VOODOO EXPERIENCE—October 29, 30 and 31 at City Park in New Orleans–can now be revealed with Muse headlining Friday night, Ozzy Osbourne wrapping Saturday’s bill and My Morning Jacket closing out the weekend’s festivities. In addition, Grammy award winning, multi-platinum R&B artist Macy Gray is the latest performer added to one of the most diverse artist line-ups of any musical event in America.
Every year, VOODOO’s musical landscape features an unbeatable mix of what’s cutting edge, iconic and traditional (New Orleans) in three distinctive musical areas: Le Ritual where the two main stages worship the music of the world’s most renowned artists; Le Flambeau’s two performance spots (Preservation Hall Tent and the WWOZ/Soco Stage) which honor the roots and history of New Orleans music and its inspiration on others; and the introduction of Le Plur, VOODOO’s dance space–dormant since 2004–which will celebrate an amazing list of electronic talent from around the world.
