The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell today announced that the Rolling Stones will headline the 2024 event on Thursday, May 2 in their only festival appearance on their brand new tour titled, Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds. Formed in 1962, the Rolling Stones are one of the most influential and enduring bands in the history of rock and roll. Their new album, Hackney Diamonds, features their first original material in almost 20 years and has reached #1 in more than 18 countries.  Fans can expect to experience Mick, Keith and Ronnie play their most popular hits ranging from “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Satisfaction” and more, as well as fan favorite deep cuts and music from their new album HACKNEY DIAMONDS. The legendary rockers will be returning to the road following the success of their history-making and chart-topping studio album HACKNEY DIAMONDS, which just received a Grammy nomination for the project’s lead single “Angry.”

“‘The Rolling Stones at Jazz Fest’ is a long held prophecy coming true. The Festival thanks Mick, Keith, Ronnie and Concerts West, for their steadfast dedication to making this once-in-a-lifetime Jazz Fest magic. The pilgrimage starts today, come get satisfied,” said Quint Davis, Producer/Director of Jazz Fest.
