Jonny Lang Cancels Jazz Fest Performance

Blues rocker Jonny Lang will no longer be appearing at Jazz Fest on Sunday, April 24. Lang was scheduled to headline the Blues Tent from 5:55pm to 7pm that day.

Lang cited an “unforeseen personal issue” as the reason for his cancellation, and the festival has confirmed that English blues titan John Mayall will hold down the headlining Blues ent slot in his absence. He will take the stage after Rhiannon Giddens.

As previously reported, Jazz Fest will kick off the Fair Grounds Race Course tomorrow, April 22. You can check out our searchable schedule and late night concert guide here.
