The British rock legends will hit the festival’s main stage on Saturday, April 25. Back in September, Who guitarist Pete Townshend posted a video on his Instagram page in which he mentioned that his band would play the New Orleans Jazz Fest this year.

Stevie Nicks, Foo Fighters, Dead & Company, Lenny Kravitz, The Black Crowes and The Beach Boys are among the event’s other headliners.

Other veteran rock artists on the festival’s bill include Elvis Costello & the Imposters, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes and The Dirty Knobs, the latter being the band fronted by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell. In addition, the fest will feature a tribute to New Orleans music legend and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dr. John, who died last year.

Single-day tickets and four-day weekend passes are available now. For the full lineup and additional ticket info, visit NOJazzFest.com.
