Jazz Fest also includes an array of more recent rock and hip-hop stars with Arcade Fire, Kid Rock, Wyclef Jean, The Strokes, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Jason Mraz, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, the Avett Brothers, Mystikal, Mumford & Sons, John Legend & the Roots, and many, many more.

The New Orleans Jazz Fest will extend over two weekends, with concerts on Friday (4/29) through Sunday (5/1) and on Thursday (5/5) through Sunday (5/8). The entire festival will rock the city at the Fair Grounds Race Course, located 1751 Gentilly Boulevard, 10 minutes from the French Quarter.
