Jazz Fest 2025

Before entering the gates of the Fair Grounds, festivalgoers were welcomed by ambitious entrepreneurs. These street vendors have been a fixture outside the Jazz Fest for decades.

If you're heading to the festival this year, here are a few things to know—from the music and food lineups, to parking, what you can bring and more.

The festival has released a performance schedule to help fans plan their itineraries. It’s broken down into cubes to show the set times and stages for each act.

The lineup for the 2025 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was released Wednesday with Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Luke Combs and Lil Wayne & The Roots announced as headliners.
