Distinguished as the final musical celebration of the annual U.S. music festival season, the VOODOO EXPERIENCE will take place in New Orleans’ City Park, Friday, October 28, Saturday, October 29 andSunday, October 30.  Marking VOODOO’s 13^th consecutive year, the 2011 Halloween weekend line-up will once again feature top-tier and innovative artists from a variety of musical genres, plus reflect the multitude of cultures that define this historic and beloved American city.  This year’s VOODOO will continue to grow its dedicated dance space, Le Plur, which was reintroduced to concert-goers last year. This area quickly became a fan favorite, with a stellar list of electronic talent including Paul van Dyk, Deadmau5, the Crystal Method, Kaskade, Swiss Chriss, Ferry Corsten, and Die Antwoord, among others. Stay tuned for news about the artists who will be performing at the 2011 VOODOO EXPERIENCE.

Last year, festival producers REHAGE ENTERTAINMENT signed a deal with New Orleans’ City Park officials that will keep the annual event in City Park through 2019. The 1,300-acre park–the region’s principal recreation site that attracts over 7 million visits each year–has been home to the VOODOO EXPERIENCE since its 1999 debut, with the exception of 2005 VOODOO which was displaced by the city’s hurricane damage.

“City Park is once again happy to host the Voodoo Experience,” says Bob Becker, CEO of City Park.  “Along with the city and state, we recognize the economic impact to the community.”
