Raekwon’s voice is as strong as ever, and Ghostface sent chills up the spines of the faithful fans. As more and more members joined - U God, RZA and the GZA - the set was what fans hoped for. Wu-Tang Clan and The Soul Rebels headlined the Congo Stage, providing a true collaboration that can only happen at Jazz Fest.

She admitted, “I’ve been on tour but, bitch, ain’t nothing like being at Jazz Fest.” Photo Credit: Amy Harris/The Travel Addict She was set to headline fest 20, so the fans really packed in to partake in Lizzo’s performance.
She was a little late starting the set, but admitted to being “hung over as shit” from celebrating her birthday the prior evening with a night out in the French Quarter. Depending on your perspective, the crowds were having a lot of difficulty getting to the stage. She seems to be an icon in the making and it has been a long road to fame for the star. Opening day had a plethora of big-name artists starting with Lizzo who brought out a huge crowd to see her debut performance at the festival. The weather was perfect on Friday with sunshine and a breezy mid-70’s day at the track. It was a glorious start that began Friday. Fans came out in droves to relish many genres of music across 13 stages over three days in the post-pandemic celebration. The 2023 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival kicked off on Friday at the New Orleans Fairgrounds and Racetrack.
