If your Christmas wish list included the music lineup for the 2026 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, you’re in luck.
Producers of the festival revealed on social media that they’ll release the roster for next year’s event on Thursday, Dec. 11.
That’s more than a month earlier than Jazz Fest’s typical mid-January roster rollout.
The 2026 Jazz Fest will consist of two four-day weekends starting on each Thursday, from April 23-26 and April 30-May 3.
This won’t be the first time the festival has made some sort of talent announcement in December, but it is definitely sooner than usual.
Speculation about who will be on the list typically ramps up right after New Year’s Day. This year’s Dec. 11 release will make much of that speculation moot.
This story will be updated with more information.
