First Weekend's headliners (April 28-30):
The Meters, Dave Matthews Band, Bob Dylan, Yolanda Adams, Allen Toussaint with special guest Elvis Costello, Ani DiFranco, Dr. John, plus MANY more awesome jazz bands!

Second Weekend's headliners (May 5-7):
Fats Domino, Jimmy Buffett, Lionel Richie, Paul Simon, Keith Urban, The Ohio Players, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, Special Ed & Big Daddy Kane, India “The Princess of Salsa”, Irma Thomas, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Doug Kershaw, Little Feat, plus MANY more awesome jazz bands!

$30 a day (so $90 a weekend).

I can't make it to the second weekend since I'll have a final Friday May 5th, but I MUST go see Bob Dylan LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may try to fly down there (Southwest would probably have the best deals) or carpool, if I can get most of my semester's work done before then (essays and final exam prep).

Obviously, the headliners are more old school rock/folk and such...big names to draw $$$. Yeah, Bob Dylan is my main incentive to go, but the last time I was in New Orleans is the time I fell in love with jazz, so seeing several awesome combos improv on stage for half an hour will be niiiiiiice!
Look at the rest of the line-up: tons of awesome big time and small group jazz bands.

Fucking hell, gotta look at plane ticket prices, unless people want to carpool?!
