Experience the Legendary Rolling Stones Headlining the Epic Final Weekend of Jazz Fest 2024

Welcome, music lovers! The excitement is palpable as we gear up for an electrifying day at Jazz Fest featuring none other than the legendary Rolling Stones. The iconic rock band’s appearance on Thursday is a momentous occasion that has been long-awaited by fans and festival-goers alike.

Securing the biggest rock band in the world for Jazz Fest is no small achievement. The Rolling Stones have captivated audiences since the 1960s and have continued to be a powerhouse in the music industry, selling millions of albums and maintaining their status as one of the top touring acts globally. Louisiana doesn’t see the Stones grace its stage often, making this upcoming performance all the more special.

On the day of the Stones’ performance, the festival’s schedule will be adjusted to accommodate the sold-out crowd. All stages, except the main Festival Stage, will wrap up their final sets by 4 p.m., ensuring that all attention is focused on the Stones during their two-hour set. There are also unique rules in place for audience space, with tarps prohibited and other modifications in effect.

But fear not, for as the saying goes, “You get what you need.” While tickets for the Stones may have sold out, there is an abundance of music, food, culture, and more awaiting attendees at the festival from May 2-5. The lineup is jam-packed with rock stars like Foo Fighters, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Bonnie Raitt, Earth, Wind & Fire, and The Wallflowers, to name a few.

In addition to the star-studded lineup, festival-goers can expect more of everything this year. From an array of music genres to a plethora of food vendors and art displays, Jazz Fest promises an immersive experience for all who attend. In addition to the music stages and tents, there are also special attractions like a kids’ tent, an interview stage, parades, and performances in the Folklife Village.

One highlight of this year’s festival is the Cultural Exchange Pavilion, which showcases Colombian music and culture. Attendees can enjoy performances ranging from traditional cumbia and salsa to contemporary hip-hop and Latin grooves, along with Colombian artists, crafts, and food. The festival truly offers a diverse and enriching cultural experience for all.

For those eager to join in on the fun, tickets and VIP packages for the final weekend are available online. Advance single-day tickets for the second weekend are priced at $95 plus fees until May 1, with gate admission set at $105. Children ages 2-10 can attend for just $5 when accompanied by an adult.

It’s important to note that Jazz Fest transitioned to a cashless system last year, with the box office and vendors accepting various forms of digital payments. Attendees can use credit and debit cards, as well as Apple, Google, and Samsung Pay, or opt for prepaid cards available for purchase on-site. Detailed information can be found on the festival’s website.
