What happened to Voodoo Music + Arts Experience?
The festival did not take place in 2020 or 2021 (COVID-19), and organizers cancelled the 2022 edition without explanation, following a reported ownership dispute between founder Steve Rehage and Live Nation. No edition has been held since October 2019.

The experience
What's special
The Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, widely known as Voodoo Fest, was a Halloween-weekend rock and mainstream music festival staged in New Orleans' City Park from 1999. Nicknamed 'the Worship the Music' festival, it paired major rock, alternative and hip-hop headliners with the city's costume-loving, late-October spirit. Its identity fused big-name lineups with a distinctly New Orleans atmosphere, and it became a fixture of the city's fall calendar before going dark after 2019
What people love
Attendees remember Voodoo as a genuinely fun, high-energy experience with a great City Park setting, strong music and a standout food-and-drink spread, and many rated it above the city's other big festivals. The near-universal complaint was mud: rain routinely turned the grounds into a quagmire that fans felt organizers were slow to manage
Last time around (2019)
The last edition held was in late October 2019 in City Park; the festival did not return in 2020 or 2021 (COVID-19) and its 2022 revival was cancelled amid an ownership dispute, with no edition since. Attendee memories of the final years center on a fun, well-stocked event repeatedly marred by heavy mud after rain, which fans said was allowed to worsen over the weekend
