Lollapalooza 2010 Lineup

Lollapalooza was held for the first time in 1991, organized as a farewell tour by Perry Farrell, the lead singer of Jane's Addiction. Joining Ferrell and his gang were Ice-T's Body Count, the Nine Inch Nails, and the Violent Femmes. The groups toured a number of America cities in July and August of that year. The pattern was similar in subsequent Lollapaloozas, with a large number of bands traveling to different cities as a part of the festival over the course of a month or so each summer. During the 1990s, acts like Wu-Tang Clan, Red Hot Chile Peppers, Jesus and Mary Chain, Waylon Jennings, and Pearl Jam all participated in Lollapalooza. Unfortunately, by the late 1990s, the festival had lost steam, and it was called off following the 1997 tour. http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2003/07/13/tem_wwwtem1ahist13.html

Lollapalooza was reignited in 2003, again as a nearly two-month tour featuring bands like Kings of Leon, Jurassic 5, and, fittingly, Jane's Addiction. Once again, however, the two-month tour proved more than people were willing to pay for, and the sequel planned for 2004 was cancelled. http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2004-06-22-festival-canceled_x.htm Tour organizers found a format that worked in 2005, when they decided to make it a weekend long concert in Chicago's Grant Park. After a successful first year in Chicago, with bands like Dinosaur Jr. and the Black Keys, Chicago Parks Authority signed a deal to keep the tour in ...

New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Parking

Gray Line Tours will offer the "Jazz Fest Express," a continuous round-trip shuttle from the Sheraton Hotel, the Gray Line Lighthouse (located at the Steamboat Natchez Dock next to the Jax Brewery), and City Park (near Marconi Meadows). Shuttle service will operate daily from 10:30am-7:30pm. This service may be added at the same time as you purchase advance festival admission tickets, and costs $17. A special one-way ticket to travel from the Festival to downtown will be available at a cost of $10. http://www.nojazzfest.com/index.php?http%3A//www.nojazzfest.com/info/faq.php

Taking a taxi at the fest is an inexpensive way to get there ... New Orleans cabs offer a special event rate of $3.00 per person. http://goneworleans.about.com/od/festivals/f/jazzfest3.htm

Another good travel option is taking the Canal Street Streetcar (you'll see it marked "City Park/Museum") from downtown. Ride the streetcar to Beauregard Circle, and you'll be within easy walking distance to the fairgrounds.

No matter which way you choose to get to the fest, make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes ... you'll be walking around a lot, with so much to do and see!

We wish you a great time at this year's Jazz and Heritage Festival. For more helpful information, please check out the additional Mahalo fest info pages which are linked at the right hand sidebar of this page.

New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Tickets

Advance tickets are available via Ticketmaster, but if you're in New Orleans (or know someone there who could purchase tickets on your behalf) you might find the best deal by buying advance tickets directly from the Louisiana Superdome Box Office or New Orleans Arena Box Office. The New Orleans Arena Box Office (1501 Girod Street) is open 9:00 am-4:30pm. The Louisiana Superdome Box Office (1500 Poydras Street, Ground Level at Gate A) is open Monday through Friday 9:00am-4:30 p.m. Though purchasing at these venues still has fees added--a $3 service charge is added for cash purchases, and additional processing fees are added for credit card transactions--you should still save a bit over what you would pay by purchasing online via Ticketmaster. http://www.nojazzfest.com/index.php?http%3A//www.nojazzfest.com/info/

Pricing for tickets is as follows:

1st Weekend (April 23, 24 or 25) - Single Day Admission
Adults: $45 in advance; Gate Price: $60
Children age 2-10: $5 (available at the gate only)

2nd Weekend (April 29, 30, May 1, 2) - Single Day Admission

Crossroads Guitar Festival Tickets

The Crossroads Guitar Festival, which has been described by founder Eric Clapton as "the realization of a dream," will take place on June 26, 2010 at Toyota Park in Chicago's Bridgeview neighborhood. This will be Clapton's third time hosting the event, which previously took place in 2004 and 2007 and is a fundraiser for Crossroads Centre, a drugs and alcohol dependence treatment facility located in Antiqua.

General admission tickets for the show went on sale February 20, 2010 at a face value of $100, and are now sold out. But for those who don't currently have tickets, there is still hope...a variety of resellers are offering tickets, and promotional ticket giveaways are likely to be underway in the Chicago area as the show date draws near.

Ticketmaster's online store has posted a note that more tickets to Crossroads Guitar Festival are likely to become available shortly before the day of the show. In the meantime, Ticketmaster is selling Crossroads tickets at ticketsnow.com, a partner company, at prices ranging from $268 to $1200 for single admission. http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0400444375AC1394 http://www.ticketsnow.com/InventoryBrowse/Crossroads-Guitar-Festival-with-Eric-Clapton-Tickets-at-Toyota-Park-in-Bridgeview?PID=950155

Quite a few tickets to the festival are currently up for sale or auction on eBay and Stub Hub, with Buy It Now options starting as low as $230. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1311&_nkw=crossroads+guitar+festival&_sacat=See-All-Categories http://www.stubhub.com/crossroads-guitar-festival-tickets/eric-claptons-2010-crossroads-guitar-festival-including-eric-clapton-jeff-beck-bb-king-john-mayer-and-more-bridgeview-toyota-park-6-26-2010-936612/ebay/?gcid=C12289x184
