Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
My money is on Red Hot Chili Peppers to fill the slot. A few points in their favor:
1. They have a new album coming out tomorrow (4/1)
2. Their touring schedule doesn't kick off until June.
3. They have a North American tour in the late summer/early fall, but it doesn't come anywhere near NOLA. Closest they get is Nashville or Arlington.
4. They actually played the same first Sunday closing set back in 2016, and crushed it IMO. Had a full on jam sesh with George Porter & co, it was great. (This was the same weekend that Pearl Jam played, but I thought RHCP was much better)
Also, they're probably the most comparable band in terms of BNA size to Foo Fighters, that's still active and doesn't have any obvious conflict. As much as I'm really sad FF aren't gonna make it (#RIPTaylor), I think RHCP would be an excellent fill-in.
