The Who, Foo Fighters, Lizzo and Erykah Badu are among the headliners set to play this year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
The festival this morning announced the lineup for its 51st edition, which takes place Thursday-Sunday, April 23-26 and April 30-May 3 at the New Orleans Fair Grounds.
Also headlining the 2020 festival are Dead & Company, Stevie Nicks, Lionel Richie, The Lumineers, The Black Crowes, Lenny Kravitz, The Avett Brothers, The Beach Boys, Norah Jones and the Wu-Tang Clan performing with The Soul Rebels.
It was expected The Who would be performing at this year’s Jazz Fest — guitarist Pete Townshend let slip the English rockers would be playing the festival in an Instagram video he posted in September.
