Lil Wayne won't be playing the Super Bowl halftime show at this year's game in his hometown, but Weezy will be one of the headliners (with the Roots) of the 2025 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Luke Combs, Lil Wayne & The Roots and Lenny Kravitz will headline Jazz Fest 2025 in New Orleans. Why it matters: Rock on, my brothers, sisters and friends. The big picture: Jazz Fest combines the top touring acts with the best musicians and food New Orleans has to offer.

Set to take place this year from April 24 through May 4 at the New Orleans Fairgrounds, this year’s two-week extravaganza is bringing in heavy hitters like grunge icons Pearl Jam, recent Rock Hall of Fame inductees Dave Matthews Band, country stalwart Luke Combs, ’90s mainstay Lenny Kravitz and an exciting Lil Wayne and The Roots collab.

The festival will be held Memorial Day weekend and also includes Megan Moroney, Sheryl Crow, T-Pain, Avril Lavigne and Vampire Weekend.

Jazz Fest is also introducing special general admission pricing for Louisiana residents, with lower prices for Jazz Fest GA weekend passes and single-day tickets. You can find more information here. Check out (a mere sampling of) the Jazz Fest 2025 lineup below.

The festival will feature an updated layout, plus performances from more than 50 artists, including T-Pain, TLC, Avril Lavigne, Sublime, and Public Enemy. See the full lineup.
