New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell today announced the music lineup for the 2025 event, scheduled for April 24 – May 4. Jazz Fest is an annual celebration of the unique culture and heritage of New Orleans and Louisiana, alongside unforgettable performances by nationally and internationally renowned guest artists to create one of the world’s most diverse musical festival lineups.
The event features virtually every style of American music from over 5,000 musicians spread across 14 different music stages over 8 days at the Fair Grounds Race Course.
Jazz Fest is excited to showcase Mexico’s vibrant music and culture at the Expedia Cultural Exchange Pavilion in 2025. Mexico’s own Santana, chart-topping Banda MS, and Grammy winner Lila Downs headline Jazz Fest’s tribute to Mexico in 2025, joined by nineteen bands from Mexico and the United States presenting a rich musical landscape that transcends borders. A diverse array of genres will be represented, from Mexico’s iconic Mariachi bands to the string-driven Son Jarocho of Veracruz, and from the traditional marimba music of Chiapas to the lively rhythms of Norteño music. The Pavilion will offer an in-depth experience of Mexican culture through craft demonstrations, daily parades, photography exhibits, and educational displays. Adjacent to the Pavilion, festival-goers can savor authentic Mexican cuisine and beverages at the Cultural Exchange Food stand.
