Along with the release of the night-by-night schedule, Puff Daddy & The Family and Common were added to the lineup. YES, you read that right. PUFF DADDY & The Family (and Common) have been added to the lineup. Let me just say how über excited I am. When Diddy announced that he and his Bad Boy family were heading on tour, fingers were crossed that New Orleans would be one of their stops. And it is! Owww! I can’t wait to belt out songs, word for word, getting all of my childhood life.
Moving on… the night-to-night schedule has been released. And while I’m excited for Puff and the fam, I can’t say I feel the same about the others on the bill that night. I mean, the artists are great, but all of my faves are spread out over the entire weekend. So, it looks like I’ll be pulling an all 3-nighter. You can purchase 3-night packages or single night tickets HERE.
