The Louisiana city will celebrate its musical culture with the annual event, with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga also set to headline the festival where fans can expect performances of hits from their collaborative album ‘Cheek to Cheek’.

Elsewhere on the line-up, Gwen Stefani will bring her ska-infused band No Doubt, while rapper TI, country star Keith Urban and 68-year-old singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett are also scheduled to perform.
