Voodoo Fest, MMJ showing more love to NOLA

[midwesterner]

Very cool to see MMJ are headlining Voodoo Fest. I doubt I will make it but perhaps this means more shows in the south after or before Halloween.

 :D

I bought a ticket to this the other night just before the line up was announced.  No MMJ.   But, since I'll be able to ride my bike to this event, I wasn't going to complain.

Then, I get up today and my first email message is the MMJ annoncement  :D :D :D :D

Ya mon!  This just gets better and better.

Anyone coming down?  Halloween in NoLa is nuts!

[midwesterner]

I have heard such great things about Nola on Halloween which is easily my favorite holiday. But after going to NYC for 5 nights this doesn't seem doable.

[NoVa_NoLa]

All 5 in NYC -- AWESOME!

Yeah, I had a brief moment this morning when I thought I'd skip the NY shows that I can make it to, but quickly changed my mind.

Well, if the stars align or you win the lotto and can make it down, let me know!

[Hawkeye]

I might try to make this.  I was going to go last year, but it fell through.  This year the funds are better, but I'll have to see how much vacation I have left by October.  AND I'm going to Italy in late August/early September, so that might put a big dent in the funds.  Either way, awesome!  Exicted for you NoVa!

[EasyRyder]

Just bought my tickets!!!!!!! I wouldve preferred a single day pass, but I couldn't find one on the website...and they don't have the schedule slots up yet, so I wasn't gonna chance missing out on this this!  :D

Does anyone know what the set lengths are typically for voodoo??

[Penny Lane]

Nova--congrats on your move down to NOLA! hope you're enjoying the new job.

[NoVa_NoLa]

Thanks, Penny!  I haven't moved yet though...heading down at the end of the month. I start the new job on July 9.  Super excited!

Hawkeye -- I hope that you can make it!

EasyRider -- see you there!  I haven't been to VooDoo in a long while.  Pretty excited that MMJ will get a closing slot, in the forest no less.  Should be a great show!

Is there a reason why they're not listed on the VE website?

[EasyRyder]

Even though their post-jazz fest show at Preservation Hall will be tough to rival, another late night post-festival gig in New Orleans doesn't seem to be out of the question:

"Each night as the gates at City Park close, the electricity of the Voodoo Experience and the spirits of New Orleans will mix and mingle into a nonstop celebration along Frenchmen Street, the French Quarter, Uptown, the Warehouse District and all point in between. The best local musicians and many Voodoo artists will take the stages of legendary venues...Known as Voodoo After Dark or Voodoo 24/7, there is no shortage of live music and sweaty dancing as each night's celebration will surely extend past sunrise."
(from Voodoo site)

We can dream, can't we?

It's a tricky site to maneuver

haha, hi Nova!!   I won't be making it, but I'm so happy for you, have fun!!

[TGMC421]

Ahhhh!!  I went last year and am most definately going again this year!  Halloween + Nawlins is insane as is but throw in some MMJ and kablam!  

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

impressive names they're sitting with on top of that bill.  MUSE, Ozzy & My Morning Jacket.  I guess Sasquatch helped prove to peoplethat they are "the best".

everyone that's going...DONT MISS MUSE!!!!!

Halloween in New Orleans is almost a high holiday.  Do come prepared to costume.  Trick or treating is optional, costuming is not.  ;)  I haven't heard anything yet about the MoMs Ball, but details will be available as the date gets a little closer.  

I'll post here as I find out who's playing where, etc.  How long will you be in town for?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

Has anyone heard anything about which day MMJ might be playing?

Also, does anyone know when single-day tickets might be going on sale?

Thanks!

[gundy]

Awww, that sounds fun... going to miss it since me and the mrs will be too tired from all 5 Terminal 5 shows. Hopefully next year!

[TheBigChicken]
