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.

The Voodoo Fest was very good this year. This was my second year, and it was my favorite. A lot of the acts were unfamiliar to me, but I was open to all. Being that way made the entire weekend that much better. Friday was my favorite day because I saw the techno duo Justice. Although it has been said in previous places, I will still say that these guys are the new rock stars of the 21st century. Also I must admit that I really do like their music, and I am pretty subjective. Although Kiss was the big draw on Saturday, I personally did not find them very interesting. I was very happily surprised when I watched some great funk music by George Clinton and the P-Funk band. It was way better than Kiss. On Sunday one of my favorite bands Brand New played. Again, I am being subjective, but they have many meaningful lyrics and good music in my opinion. Finally, LENNY KRAVITZ. Enough said. It was a magical closure with Trombone Shorty coming out and the very very extended sing along of Let Love Rule. Overall, I had an uplifting time without having to take a drink or smoke pot! Thank you MUSIC!!!

i think this was a great event for the price of the ticket ($103) for a 3-day festival. i got my ticket before the lineup was announced and ended up being somewhat disappointed. the lineup paled in comparison to the 08 lineup, but still had a few big draws for me. but none were major name bands. i did enjoy the show KISS put on. i liked the FYE tent with autograph sessions with several bands because silversun pickups and mutemath were 2 bands i was really interested in seeing. i do enjoy the variety of types of music offered at the different stages. it is always fun. and despite the rain and mud, we had a great weekend and plan to go back next year.

Voodoo 2009 was a great experience. A great and diverse lineup with local New Orleans favorites, current top selling acts, and and opportunity to say "yea I saw that band one time".
I had shelled out the extra bucks (early) for the LOA (VIP) pass. Having the separated area in front of the Voodoo stage was worth the extra bucks alone but I do have a few minor complaints. 1) if one of the selling point for the pass is the privet bathrooms, have enough to fulfill the claim. 2) The security folks worked real hard and did a good job of keeping things safe without bringing the whole scene down but, on several occasions some people were just waltzing in the the LOA (who did not pay for it) area in front of the stage. I know that might sound snooty but I paid the extra not to have to fight with the crows give you security team more help. 3) the information about what was going on in the LOA area (music, food, services) was lacking, provide handouts.

The event it self appeared to be well put together and the space was well used. After the rain on the first night the crews worked very hard to contain the mud issues and I feel that did a good job. I also have to throw praise to the person who contracted SDT and the SDT staff. I have never been to a event like this and it be so well picked up.

All in all if was a great event and I would love to go again next year.

Even the rain couldn't ruin the weekend. The festival started out with a heavy rain keeping the crowds at bay, which is unfortunate because they missed a great Black Keys performance, as well as your only chance to catch Eminem this year. Em brought it on Friday night as a rowdy crowd fought to stay dry.

The rest of the weekend was beautiful with great weather. The main concert grounds themselves held up remarkably well. Unfortunately, you had to trudge through several inches of thick mud to get there. All of the food areas were incredibly muddy. But the music is what we are there to worship and that didn't let down. New Orleans' own MUTEMATH was incredible on Saturday. Wolfmother was excellent. Jane's Addiction was average while KISS brought down the house.

On Sunday, All Time Low, Brand New, Flaming Lips, and Lenny Kravitz rocked the main area. You should also venture out to the other areas, such as the Bingo Parlour tent and the WWOZ stage.

This year, they also offered $5 parking in the old Marconi Meadows. It's a much better value than the $20 Delgado parking and nearly as close. But if you stay in the official Voodoo hotel, you can get onto the shuttle and get dropped off at the gate.

As a Voodoo veteran, I was pleased that Voodoo returned to it's usual awesomeness this year. It took place on Halloween weekend (as it will next year) which made the voodoo theme more genuine and fun. Nearly everyone was in costume and the bands performed wonderfully. The food was fantastic as usual, serving up good ole' New Orleans cooking (crawfish pies, po-boys, fried crab claws, etc.).

I only went to this festival to see one person and I finally got to see him in concert after about a 5hr drive. I have waited almost 20 years to see Lenny Kravitz and it was well worth the wait! He and the entire band are so talented. Lenny had so much energy and sang with his whole heart! Lenny sounds great on CDs, but in person, his voice is even better if you can imagine! He is also such a talented musician and can play just about any instrument as he showed on stage. He showed how much he loves music, by showcasing the talent of the other band members as well. I truly enjoyed myself and would highly recommend Lenny Kravitz to anyone that loves his music. Some bands/singers don't sound anything like their CDs when you actually see them live. I can assure you that this is not the case with Lenny! I love, love, love him...lol! Let love rule!

I would completely recommend Voodoo Fest 2009. The weather this year, was not that great and the ground was gross and muddy, but it was a great experience. It was great to be able to see so many bands over the entire weekend. I traveled to New Orleans from Atlanta, and was shocked to meet so many people from so far away.
