VOODOO EXPERIENCE
SET TIMES ANNOUNCED
FOR ANNUAL
HALLOWEEN WEEKEND (OCTOBER 29, 30 AND 31) EVENT
VOODOO PARTNERS WITH CVS PHARMACY DRUG STORES
FOR UNIQUE SINGLE DAY TICKET SALES
AT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI
With the VOODOO EXPERIENCE now just one month away, organizers have released the set times for the annual event set for October 29, 30 and 31 at City Park in New Orleans. Concertgoers can begin planning their own day-by-day schedule from a line-up that features one of the most diverse artist mixes of any musical event in America.
Every year, VOODOO’s musical landscape features an unbeatable combination 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 re-introduction of Le Plur, VOODOO’s dance space–dormant since 2004–which will celebrate a red-hot list of electronic talent from around the world.
