Red Hot Chili Peppers confirmed for Voodoo Music Experience
NEW YORK (Billboard) – The Red Hot Chili Peppers are the first band confirmed for the eighth Voodoo Music Experience to be held in New Orleans on October 28-29, organizers said Thursday.
Last year’s Voodoo festival was the first major musical event held in the Crescent City in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and boasted performances by Nine Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tiesto, the Bravery, the New York Dolls and Secret Machines, among others.
“Despite the past year’s events and the uncertainty it has created in the city — it is an honor to have the Peppers be the first act to sign on,” Voodoo producer Stephen Rehage said in a statement. “I think it speaks volumes about the influence New Orleans Music and musicians have had on the world.”
Additional details will be released in the coming weeks on the event’s web site. The venue has yet to be announced.
