The Who, Stevie Nicks, Foo Fighters and Erykah Badu are set to headline the 2022 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Festival organizers today announced the lineup for its long-awaited return to the New Orleans Fair Grounds, set for Friday, April 29, through Sunday, May 8. After the cancelation of the 2020 and 2021 festivals — and a Rolling Stones show — due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be three years since the last Jazz Fest, come April.

Also headlining the 2022 festival are Jimmy Buffett, Luke Combs, Lionel Richie, The Black Crowes, Willie Nelson and The Avett Brothers.

The Jazz Fest’s website is nojazzfest.com.
