Awaiting each year’s line-up announcements for the fall’s Voodoo Music Experience (VMX) at City Park is always rife with anticipation. Alas, the day is here: the Voodoo festival’s organizer’s released today round two of their talent roster confirmations.
Voodoo Music Experience 2013 Releases Line-Up: Round Two
Among today’s new addition highlights are influential alt-rock duo Matt & Kim, ska revivalists The Scorceses and trap music dons Keys N Krates. Local heroes taking the stage this year include the always-experimental Quintron & Miss Pussycat, rising blues-folk artist Andrew Duhon, party rockers The Revivalists, Grammy-nominated swamp-pop composer C.C. Adcock & The Lafayette Marquis as well as a Dr. John set of epic proportions dubbed “The Real Night Tripper,” featuring Mac himself with George Porter, Jr., Herlin Riley, Alfred “Uganda” Roberts, Smokey Johnson, Shane Theriot, Chief Monk Boudreaux, Nicholas Payton, Roderick Paulin, Sarah Morrow & Topsy Chapman & Solid Harmony and a slew of other usual suspects to be announced.
Always held surrounding one of New Orleans’ favorite holidays — Halloween — the VMX festival falls just after All Saints Eve this year, instead taking place during All Souls Day weekend: November 1-3. In addition to daily general admission, all-weekend passes ($175) and the Loa VIP Experience weekend pass ($500), “Loa” VIP weekend camping right in the ethereal setting of City Park is back this year. Loa camping packages include a pre-built safari-style tent on park grounds, plus access to electricity, water, restrooms, showers, VIP area access and more ($2,500 for two people). Tickets and weekend packages are now on sale via the VMX website here.
