Many of those bands play Jazz Fest every year, so you've got a pretty good chance of still catching the ones you want to see, Mr DJA.

You are correct... My favorites are the local one's... My biggest problem is, they, like me, keep getting older each year and some year they're not going to be there and I'll have missed them if I don't get there first. Hopefully my "someday" will be soon enough to catch the "greats" before they retire.
If I remember correctly, you're somewhere in (northern?) Louisiana? Will you make it to the festival this year?
Peace,
Mr DJA

Despite my above complaints I would love to go again, and if the Stones or someone else I was crazy about player the main stage I would get there early and wait all day!
It is definitely a bucket list thing for any serious music fan.
Unfortunately it's very expensive to get there from Australia and my boss wouldn't give me the time off again - I'm a school teacher and its on during the school term. He gave me leave to go in 2013 only because it was my honeymoon!

I'd be more than happy if the Stones came back to London this summer!

Really hope it'll be better organised if they do! And not so hot please!

The TBA for NOLA JazzFest on Sun. May 3rd is interesting. As much as we all hope it 'might' be the Stones, my original thought was it will probably be like the Foo Fighters, or Taylor Swift or something. So then in looking at Pollstar to see what other big act it could be, yields the following. AC/DC - play the Netherlands on 5/5 so they're out. Taylor Swift is in Tokyo, so thankfully she too is out. Foo Fighters - unlikely, they are in Australia in March then the UK starting 5/25, so they're possible, but not probable. It could be some country act like a Garth Brooks or whatever. My Morning Jacket is kicking into gear again, but not sure they are big enough to close it out (although they are a great live band IMO). U2? They start their tour in Vancouver a couple weeks later and it's unlikely they would play a big festival before then, especially with Bono's recent injury. So maybe it has to be the Stones. Let's hope!
UPDATE: The Foo's play an Alabama festival in mid-May. It's probably the friggin' Foo Fighters.
