The 18th Annual Big Easy Blues Festival

The 18th Annual Big Easy Blues Festival returns this Spring 2026 with a sound that’s different than the rest and with a soul that remains the same.  This incredible show comes to Lakefront Arena on Saturday, March 14 at p.m. Today’s Southern Soul and modern Blues scene blends old-school storytelling with the smooth, feel-good groove of contemporary R&B. It’s music born from Saturday night dance floors, Sunday morning truth-telling, and every moment in between. This show features the incredible sounds of Tucka, King George, West Love, Tonio Armani, Mike Clark Jr., Breeze MrDo2Much, EJ Jones, and DJ Captain Charles; hosted by Henry Welch.
