Second Weekend Is A Blockbuster With The Rolling Stones
Jimmy Buffett is returning to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, playing the second weekend of the annual event, which is one of the best music festivals in the world and a top party weekend in the Big Easy.
Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will be playing the Sunday of the second weekend, May 5.

Also playing that day is John Fogerty, Herby Hancock, Little Feat Chaka Kahn, The Radiators and some 75 other bands you may or may not have heard of but are likely all great.
As in past years, Buffett and the Coral Reefers will play at the end of the day for a one-hour-plus show.
Advance single-day tickets are $75 (thru May 1) and $85 on site. Jazzfest does not sell out, and several Parrotheads flock to the man Acura stage and plop down their belongings – lawn chairs, towels, coolers, etc. – and wander through the grounds before returning prior to the show. You can purchase your tickets in advance here.
