Rehage Entertainment announced their headliners for the 2013 VOODOO Music + Arts Experience (November 1 – 3) today, including Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Calvin Harris, Bassnectar, Paramore, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, among others. This is the event’s 15th anniversary and will be the first major event to take place in the new City Park Festival Grounds
For Pearl Jam, this will be the band’s VOODOO debut and their first show in the city since 2010. This performance will mark Nine Inch Nails’ fourth appearance at VOODOO. NIN’s Trent Reznor, a former New Orleans resident who was given the keys to the city when NIN played a free, post-Katrina Voodoo in 2005, is re-launching Nine Inch Nails since going on hiatus in 2009.
Nine Inch Nails performs for the fourth time at this year's Voodoo Fest.
Other acts confirmed include Afrojack, Boys Noize, The Gaslight Anthem, Big Gigantic, How To Destroy Angels, Cults, Alkaline Trio, Desaparecidos and Robert DeLong. Concert-goers will “worship the music” at VOODOO’s six unique performance areas, each of which is enhanced by the use of interactive art.
“Each year Voodoo is an independent roll of the dice–with its own challenges…and memories,” says Stephen Rehage, the founder/producer of VOODOO. “The few times I allow myself to reflect on what Voodoo has accomplished in 15 years, I realize that I’m incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to do what I love with a team of incredibly talented people who work every year to create the experience. And we’re just getting warmed up for Halloween weekend in New Orleans.”
