VOODOO EXPERIENCE
OCTOBER 30, 31 AND NOVEMBER 1
IN NEW ORLEANS’ CITY PARK
The VOODOO EXPERIENCE will return to Halloween weekend this October 30, 31 and November 1 in New Orleans’ City Park. This marks the third VOODOO EXPERIENCE that will coincide exactly with the Halloween weekend in a city that is as known for its magic as much as it is for its music.
The 11th annual three-day VOODOO EXPERIENCE will once again celebrate music, as well as New Orleans’ bohemian culture, arts and cuisine. Last year’s 10th anniversary celebration included performances from hometown Grammy winner Lil Wayne along with Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, REM and more than 130 acts.
Throughout the years, the VOODOO EXPERIENCE has brought together a collection of talent that has bridged the social, economic and generational gaps by creating a unique event with a commitment to every genre of music while at the same time celebrating the sounds of the region. Three distinct performance areas–Le Ritual, Le Flambeau and Le Carnival–and eight stages each highlight a unique side of the personality of New Orleans.
Set in historic City Park, amidst lush lagoons, bayous and one of the largest collections of mature oak trees in the world–all in the shadow of the New Orleans Museum of Art and just minutes from the French Quarter and Central Business District–this festive New Orleans celebration is steeped in the city’s culture and influences.
Details with the full line-up and ticketing information for this year’s VOODOO EXPERIENCE will be revealed in the coming months. For the most up-to-date information on the 2009 VOODOO EXPERIENCE, please visit www.thevoodooexperience.com.
