Just 24 hours before their highly anticipated sold-out show at the Fair Grounds, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and the rest of the band treated a select few to a brief but electrifying sound check on the main Festival Stage.

The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as the stage was redecorated with a distinct Rolling Stones flavor. At 4:30 p.m., The Rolling Stones launched into “Whole Wide World,” a track from their 2023 album “Hackney Diamonds.” Fans who were fortunate enough to be in the vicinity were treated to an exclusive preview of what promises to be an unforgettable performance.

Shortly after, the band transitioned into another “Hackney Diamonds” hit, “Angry,” much to the delight of those on hand to witness the magic unfold. Among the lucky attendees were fans like Angie Profant and her daughter Kate, who were decked out in Rolling Stones merchandise dating back to 2019 when the band was originally slated to perform at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

While some vendors setting up their stalls got a peek at the sound check, others listened in from nearby streets and porches that overlooked the horseracing track. A sense of anticipation filled the air as the preview came to an end almost as quickly as it had begun.

As the clock struck 5 p.m., Ronnie Wood made a grand exit through the Mystery Street gate in the back of a sleek brown Mercedes-Benz sedan. Rolling down his tinted window, Wood gave fans a brief glimpse before disappearing into the bustling crowd. Not long after, Mick Jagger followed suit, emerging from the same gate in the back seat of a black Mercedes sedan. Flashing a smile at adoring fans, Jagger captured the hearts of all who were lucky enough to catch a glimpse.
