Organizers announced the list of performers scheduled to appear Oct. 26-28 at this year's Voodoo Music Experience at the lovely City Park in New Orleans. The headliners are festival darlings Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against the Machine and Willco (I am loving the new CD!). Then there's Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Sinead O'Connor, Kings of Leon, and -- according to the official site -- Clap Your HANS Say Yeah. Let's hear it for the proofreaders.
This festival was never known for being cutting edge -- the list is pretty safe, but it does offer a pretty solid three days of music. There's also Spoon, Paolo Nutini, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Dr. John, Tiesto, and Quintron and Miss Pussycat, who opened for Peaches earlier this year. The festival offers a great introduction to some of the native musicians and their unique sound. Hopefully, all of the festivalgoers will take a couple of extra days and explore the city, spend money and help revitalize NOLA.
Check out video performances from past festivals, including Green Day, The Pixies, The White Stripes, Nine Inch Nails and Social Distortion, on the Voodoo site.
