Rage Against the Machine and the Smashing Pumpkins are among the major acts announced to headline Voodoo Music Experience 2007.
Other confirmed acts include Wilco, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Sinead O’Connor, Fall Out Boy, Mute Math, Plain White T’s and The Black Crowes.
The three-day festival which takes place at New Orleans’ City Park, October 26, was attended by 90,000 music fans last year and featured performances by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Duran Duran.
After the festival’s successful first few years (it was also on in 2003) organizers have been prompted to expand the festival to include more bands. Steve Rehage, of Rehage Entertainment which produces the Voodoo Music Experience said he hopes they’ve created an event which “demands national attention and makes people think, ‘Wow’, cool things still happen in New Orleans. Let’s go.”
Rage Against the Machine are also playing a number of other festival dates throughout the summer as part of their reunion tour which kicked off with Coachella festival in April.
