Hogs for The Cause announced its 2023 lineup for the 15th-anniversary BBQ and music festival, scheduled for March 31 and April 1 at the UNO Lakefront Arena festival grounds. Over two dozen artists performing on three stages will appear at this year’s festival, playing alongside nearly 90 barbecue teams serving BBQ and vying for the title of Grand Champion. Hogs For The Cause is an annual fundraiser for children fighting brain cancer.
Alabama’s electrifying soul powerhouse St. Paul & the Broken Bones will headline the event. They have shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, The Black Pumas and regularly play renowned music festivals such as Coachella and Glastonbury.

The Devon Allman Project featuring JoJo Hermann of Widespread Panic with special guests George Porter, Jr. and Anders Osborne will also perform. Devon Allman, Blues Music Award winner and son of Allman Brother’s Band co-founder Gregg Allman, leads the six-piece world-class band. Other notable artists include Charles Wesley Godwin, Bartees Strange, Shinyribs, The Sheepdogs, The Heavy Heavy, The Wilder Blue and Ian Noe.
“As our event grows each year, so too does our ability to provide more funding for those families in need,” said Rene Louapre, co-founder and chief operating officer. “Beyond the main Hogs event, our teams raise money throughout the year at grassroots events in their hometowns and beyond. Without them, we would not have had a record-breaking year in 2022. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.”
