NAMED “BEST FESTIVAL”
IN NEW ORLEANS
IN OFFBEAT’S BEST OF BEAT MUSIC BUSINESS AWARDS
SETS 2010 DATES
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30
AND SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31
“Being voted festival of the year in New Orleans, the world's greatest festival city feels pretty special,” says Stephen Rehage, founder/producer VOODOO EXPERIENCE.
Last year, OFFBEAT noted: “…as an event, Voodoo seemed to realize its potential most perfectly this year. The urban Burning Man/freak festival vibe meant simply being on the grounds was always interesting, and the booking was distinctive…” And USA TODAY said VOODOO “departs from typical fests that helicopter into cities with self-contained packages of music and arts. Voodoo integrates the region's culture and sounds, this year booking such area favorites as Trombone Shorty, Rebirth Brass Band, Beausoleil and Irvin Mayfield.”
The 2010 VOODOO EXPERIENCE is set for Friday, October 29, Saturday, October 30 and Sunday, October 31. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months.
Here’s some additional acclaim for the 2009 VOODOO EXPERIENCE:
