Offbeat notes some changes:

New this year is the expansion of longtime Cajun/Zydeco destination, the Chevron Stage. It will now include more genres and feature the talents of Jon Cleary, George Porter, Jr. & the Runnin’ Partners, Flow Tribe, and Rockin’ Dopsie.

“Our mission is to promote New Orleans’ culture and heritage, and this year we have more ways to achieve it,” said Emily Madero, President & CEO of FQFI. “Our Chevron Evening Concert Series will showcase more genres with artists like George Porter, Jr., and a new stage on the Moonwalk will expand riverfront entertainment. If you’re looking for a VIP experience, our membership program, Fest Family, now includes single day options and gives attendees a way to directly support our free event!”

Festival debut

[fichadelphia]

jeeze louise thats a stacked lineup!

[jjazznj]

jeeze louise thats a stacked lineup!

And all free!

[Marignygregg]

Galactic is a nice treat.

[zzupschuck]

Galactic is a nice treat.

Yes indeed! And I didn't plan on getting into NOLA until Thursday night...gotta rethink my plans.

[lalocaleanne]

I'm salivating over that line-up... so much goodness! Reckon I should pop along to this. WOOHOO!!

[fichadelphia]

I’ve made it to FQF twice and will probably prioritize returning in an upcoming year. I love it!

[CEfromLA]

This is the first FQF we've missed in 20+ years. We had to chose between doing the whole JF enchilada or FQF, and the idea of it being the 50th JF, was the deciding factor.
But man....SO sorry to be missing it.

That's very sad news. Totally understandable but I'm very disappointed.

[HankAndLeeStamper]

A late addition that did not make it to the press release, Andrew Duhon will be playing FQF on Saturday.
I'm also hoping to make it to his set at Chickie tonight, though the benefit for Spencer at Tips is certainly both a great looking option and a great cause.

Did you make it to Tip's? It was really disappointing that it was the same night as Best of the Beat, for which we had purchased early bird tickets long ago. A couple of friends left that event early and went to Tip's (or vice versa), but it's hard for me to stay out too late on a school night, so we just stayed put. BTW, Samantha Fish cleaned up at the awards last night!

The Duhon show was at 8, and that's more suitable to my weekday life (and my weekend life if im being honest) so i was at Chickie from 8-9.30 or so and then home to bed. Andrew D mentioned there was a lot going on and he was grateful to the people there for choosing him, and openly plugged the gofundme for Spencer Bohren, which i thought was really a cool thing to do considering his gig was in competition with the benefit, which of course no one planned when booking gigs.
