2026 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Artists Announced

Yesterday we predicted some artists that might play this years New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. We got a few right, but the full list can be seen here or below.

Below we chat about some artists we are excited to catch down south in a few months.

As we stated in our predictions post, we head to the best festival in America every year (17 in a row?) because of the local acts and the town itself, but it is nice to have a headliner or two that we really dig. 

That said, these are our least favorite headliners in a few years. However, the last few years have had our favorite headers of all-time. When we first started going down to the festival, we never stayed for the headliners, because they were artists we didn't care for. 

Some acts we are looking forward to are below. Who are you excited to see?
