voodoo music experience

The tenth annual Voodoo Music Experience, set for the weekend of October 24-26, has added several significant names to their already-outstanding lineup. Joining headliners Nine Inch Nails, R.E.M., and Stone Temple Pilots are Brooklyn indie-experimentalists TV On The Radio, space-funk hip-hop group N.E.R.D., prog-metal screamers The Mars Volta, 90's alt-rockers the Butthole Surfers, as well as several more. Also of note is the addition of the Deep Soul/Raw Funk Revue which will meld Memphis' Charles Walker and the Dynamites with New Orleans natives Big Sam's Funky Nation for what is bound to be an amazing collaboration.

Voodoo Music Experience has become somewhat of a tradition for Breakfast On Tour. As you might know by now, it is where we dreamed up the idea for this little website. It is also a place where we have experienced two years of amazing music. Originally leaning towards more of a rock following, Voodoo has transformed itself into a three day, multi-genre destination featuring many established and up-and-coming bands and artists. Previously announced headliners Nine Inch Nails, R.E.M, and the Stone Temple Pilots are now going to be joined by emo-godfathers Death Cab For Cutie, Denver gypsy-folkers Devotchka, Austin BOT-favorites Ghostland Observatory, and ex-Fugee Wyclef Jean. Taking place in New Orleans, the tenth anniversary of the festival is also set to feature some of the best names in jazz and funk including the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Get excited people!

The Voodoo Music Experience announced today that 90's rock icons Nine Inch Nails and R.E.M. as well as the recently reunited Stone Temple Pilots are set to headline this year's event. The 2008 edition, taking place October 24-26 in New Orleans' City Park, marks the tenth-ever "Ritual". Staying true to past years, several local bands will be featured at the three-day Halloween-weekend event, including the Neville Brothers first ever appearance.

Voodoo, as you may or may not already know, is where this little blog was all dreamt up. We decided to dress our group up as breakfast, and from there it was on.

Anyway, on to the festival details...
