The annual New Orleans Jazz Fest released their list of headliners for their two-weekend long event, which takes place Apr. 26-28 and May 02-05.
The eclectic list of performers includes John Mayer, George Benson, Billy Joel, Jill Scott, Dave Matthews Band, Earth, Wind, & Fire, and Hall & Oates, among countless others. The most interesting date for fans to look forward to may be Saturday May 04, the date scheduled for a Phoenix reunion. Also scheduled May 04, are performances by Frank Ocean and Fleetwood Mac.
