Jazz Fest last fall announced that The Rolling Stones would headline the festival on Thursday, May 2, as part of the British rockers’ North American tour. Because the Stones are headlining what would traditionally have been Locals Thursday at the festival, Jazz Fest added a day to the beginning of this year’s event. The 2024 Locals Thursday is now April 25. That day’s tickets will be $50 for Louisiana residents.
