New Orleans Jazz Fest lineup just posted on the Internet.
For anyone interested in seeing who will be playing at the Fest this year, you can check
http://www.nojazzfest.com/schedule/index04.html and then click on each day to see the artists for each one. More will be added later, but I'm impressed with some of the names I've seen so far. I'm really looking forward to this!

That's quite an extensive line up.
Ya gonna be there for the whole two weeks?
How do they squeeze in all that entertainment in one day? They must have multiple stages set up throughout which means you're gonna miss some of those performances. Is that correct?
Have fun Swish.
First of all, they have a bunch of stages...

and I think 3 or 4 are considered "main" stages where the big acts appear. There are a bunch of smaller ones, including a couple that are under tents so you can escape the sun if you wish. The acts that are intended for the older folks usually play under the tents and they have actual seats set up there as well, whereas the other stages are open air and you sit your ass down on the grass if you don't bring a blanket or folding chairs. The Fest is held at an outdoor horse race track, by the way. And yes, you can't see everybody there or you'll be walking around an awful lot. The major acts are usually set far enough apart timewise that you can see all of them, but we've had to choose on a couple occasions. We're going for the sencond weekend since there are 4 days of music while the first weekend has just three.
This will be our second Fest and we plan to go back again and again, possibly every-other year if it works out for us.
Regards,
Swish
