2019 marks the 50th anniversary of New Orleans Jazz Fest, and organizers are celebrating by adding an extra day to its two weekends. Both will run Thursday through Sunday, April 25 – 28 and May 2 – 5, 2019, at the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, LA.

Single day tickets and VIP packages go on general sale Friday, January 18 at 10 AM. GA single day tickets aren’t valid on May 2, when The Rolling Stones play, and must be purchased separately.
