This year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival celebrated 50 years of the iconic springtime gathering with another packed lineup and eight full days of music over two weekends. Although The Rolling Stones, who were originally set to headline the second Thursday of the fest, had to cancel (along with their replacement, Fleetwood Mac), the celebration went on without another hitch (including Widespread Panic more than ably handling headlining duties on that Thursday).
