I went to Voodoo in '07 and caught Rage and the Pumpkins, thought it was amazing and didn't come back the year after. Came back in '09 for the Flaming Lips, Janes Addiction, and the PFunk and I have to say the festival has only gotten larger and better. As is the usual the commercialization of the festival has become immense which is never a festivalgoers favorite thing, but the music has largely become more diverse and better. Voodoo has come from being Jazzfests younger more annoying kid brother, to a fully matured and intersting festival. I'd highly recommend it for the Halloween festivities. There isn't a festival with as great of food or in a city quite as unique as New Orleans (ok other than jazzfest). Go

I've gone in years past and it saddens me to say that this year I was left very disappointed. They had a few great bands, and I did discover some bands I've never heard/seen until that weekend. However, I felt like past years were WAY better in selection and variety. The set up was small, and wasn't as big as years past. I felt that for what was offered, ticket prices were too high and should have been reduced drastically. Voodoo merchants selling pipes, clothing, food, etc. were cool to look at but it looked like they were packed in very tight spaces. Just overall disappointed with the layout, size, and variety. I'm going to assume it's because of the way the economy is and that future festivals are back in full swing like years past.

Don't get me wrong, the festival still went on and it was nice.
However, the ticket price was ridiculously high when you think of the number of bands you actually wanted to see.
Justice's set was ruined and cut off in the middle of the last song

Silversun Pickups, Flaming Lips, Janes Addiction, Lenny Kravitz, and Wolfmother rocked the hardest. Justice, Gogol Bordello, and George Clinton were the funnest concerts for dancing in the crowd.

We purchased the 3-day LOA/VIP tickets. While this was convenient and well positioned it was kind of pricey for what you actually received. Also more toilet facilities needed!!
The VOODOO fest itself, in general, was awesome. The park is an excellent place for this event. Lots of vendors and other things to do which was cool.
KISS rocked out!! I'm not a big fan but they put on a good show.
EMINEM was by far the best, and most entertaining. We will attend this fest again.
Way to go NOLA!

What a great experience. Flaming Lips does an incredible light show. Standing outside while watching this cool band under a clear sky with a full moon was just incomparable!

The Voodoo setting in City Park is the best place for an outdoor music fest, especially during Halloween. Walking through the tree lined streets is a nice change over attending a music festival at the fairgrounds.

You have to do this at least once in your life. It's something you will never forget. The music was insane! I lost my voice on the last day. I even bought my tickets before the lineup was announced. I didn't care who was going to play because it's the experience you have to do! If you want to live and do something in your life that you know you will look back on and say "I was there" This is it!

I would highly recommend this event to anyone! It was amazing. Ween was soo good, I was disappointed because Ween and Eminem were playing at the same time and I was torn between the two. Ween was supposed to go on earlier but was delayed due to technical difficulties so they ended up going on about the same time. They had booths set up with some excellent local art. Everything about the show was great- except for the mud of course but that was not really something you can really control. I had a great time and can't wait to see who they bring next year!

If you can go to one music festival a year, this should be at the top of your list. new Orleans is the perfect place for a festival, especially one that coincides with halloween.

Overall I had a blast at voodoo. It was my first time and I will probably make it back next year. I just wanted to point out a few things that could have been better. I have been to a lot of festivals and I don't think I have ever encountered one that didn't have recycling bins! If there were some I couldn't find them. There were so many recyclables in the trash it was terrible. Another thing was when we were walking around at night the walkway wasn't lit at all, we were tromping through total darkness. That was a little strange. And I was a little bitter they took my umbrellas even though they didn't have pointy tops. Oh, one last thing. We didn't see a map of any sort(was there one?) of what bands were playing at which stages. That could have been more clear.

Other than that, it's a great venue. The Bingo show in the circus tent was really fun. And so was seeing Ween.

#1 concern.....recycling!!!!

Thank you!!

voodoo was full of hidden gems like little freddie king and walter "wolfman" washington, however, among all the awesome music there were some whack artists on the bill chosen just to draw a huge crowd. the food was awesome, my only complaints would have to be eminem and no camping.
