The one-night event is set to take place at the Caesars Superdome on Jan. 31, 2026 and will include guitarists, bassists, drummers, keyboardists. Additionally, a horn section featuring trumpets, saxophones and trombones, will pay tribute to New Orleans.

New Orleans & Company officials say the musicians “will all take the stage together, to unleash a wall of sound in unison, unlike anything the U.S. has ever seen: live, loud, and in perfect sync.”
“To bring Rockin’1000 to the United States, the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, is a dream we’ve had for many years. To host our inaugural event in an iconic American city like New Orleans, and a venue like Caesars Superdome, means the world. There is nothing more powerful than bringing complete strangers together through the power of music. For one unforgettable night on stage, we create an emotional connection that unites not just the musicians, but the friends, family, and fans who have come to support them. I cannot wait to share this epic experience and expand our global community of devoted music lovers.”
