The VOODOO EXPERIENCE is now just days away!  The 3-day annual event will rock City Park in New Orleans on October 29, 30 and 31, and PCM will be there with full coverage!

Every year, VOODOO’s musical landscape features an unbeatable combination of what’s cutting-edge, iconic and traditional (New Orleans) in three distinctive musical areas: Le Ritual where the two main stages worship the music of the world’s most renowned artists; Le Flambeau’s two performance spots (Preservation Hall Tent and the WWOZ/Soco Stage) which honor the roots and history of New Orleans music and its inspiration on others; and the re-introduction of Le Plur, VOODOO’s dance space–dormant since 2004–which will celebrate a red-hot list of electronic talent from around the world!

If you haven’t already planned your own day-by-day schedule from the line up…what are you waiting for!?
