Jazz Fest ‘cubes’ with performance times, stages released
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – It’s one month and counting before the 2016 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival returns to the Fairgrounds Race Course. Organizers Tuesday released the coveted “cubes,” which show performance times and stages for this year’s artists, including Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Snoop Dogg, Nick Jonas, Bonnie Raitt and Beck.
Festival producer Quint Davis says Tuesday was the day everything comes together for festival-goers. Davis says fans finally get the chance to plot their festival experience by seeing who is performing where and when.
The festival runs April 22-24 and again April 28-May 1.
In addition, organizers said no chairs, blankets or tarps will be permitted anywhere on the dirt track encircling the Fair Grounds’ infield in an effort to break pedestrian gridlock brought on last year when Elton John performed.
