Jazz Fest 2016

I mean, have you seen this lineup yet?  Holy hot damn!


Those top two lines are freaking silly.  This feels like an April Fools joke.  Stevie Wonder and Pearl Jam!!!  Paul freaking Simon at #6!  Beck!  Van Morrison!  My Morning Jacket shoved down to the 4th line!  Nathaniel Rateliff, Punch Brothers, Mystikal, and the Revivalists shoved down to the small type at the bottom!

Of course, you should know that Jazz Fest does their festival over two weekends with different lineups for both weekends, so you aren't going to get all of this with a one weekend ticket.  Imagine if you did!  But still, if you choose the first weekend, you would get to see Pearl Jam, Van Morrison, Nathaniel Rateliff, the Chili Peppers, Better than Ezra, Taj Mahal, and about a million other awesome things, while a second weekend ticket would net you PAUL SIMON, My Morning Jacket, Lauren Hill, The Revivalists, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Beck, Buddy freaking Guy, Dr. John, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Lone Bellow, Rebirth Brass Band, Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples, the Isley Brothers, Punch Brothers, and a million other things.  That second weekend is ridiculous.

The fest happens in late April.  I need to start buttering up the wife to see if she wants to go!  Single day passes are on sale for $60 a piece right now and only $65 up until the time of the fest.  That ain't bad.
