Voodoo updates

The Cure have been given 10 more minutes for their set. Will start at 6:50 pm now. Have 130 minutes. Perfect for adding 'Same Deep Water As You' to the set. Or 'Cold' & 'Figurehead'. :) (Thanks Olivier)

Local music critic Keith Spera has a story on the new festival grounds Voodoo will be using this year.

Update (Oct. 27th, 2013): Crave has posted a transportation guide, and GoNola has their Ultimate Guide to Voodoo.

And this word of warning from Roger: "OK whats next.... HAHAH Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, if you don't have a ticket and were thinking maybe you wouldn't come... well think again, last Cure show of 2013 its going to (be) massive!" Always trust Roger! Get your tickets here.


Update (Oct. 28th, 2013): Gambit has published their 2013 Voodoo Guide, which can be picked up locally, or you can read the digital edition here. Nice little Cure article included.

Also, Voodoo has posted "answers to all of your questions". Not included? Will you please give The Cure an extra hour? :)

And here's a survival guide from Fuse.

A list of closings in City Park due to Voodoo.

TV news report from just now says the limited number of single day tickets are almost sold out. If you need them, get them now. 3 day passes should still be available at the gate.

From Voodoo on Facebook: "Deja Voodoo presents Reignwolf plus special guest Baby Bee happening at The Parish House of Blues New Orleans on Friday, November 1st at 11:30 pm. A Loa VIP wristband will get you into the show for FREE."

Update (Oct. 29th, 2013): From Voodoo on Facebook - "Proudly presenting Deja Voodoo at Preservation Hall on November 1st and 3rd featuring the Preservation Hall Jazz Band with special guests Shovels and Rope and Beats Antique. Doors will open at 11:30 pm and showtime is midnight. Tickets extremely limited. To buy now: preservationhall.com/tickets"

  7. Forget that. Open with "Out of this World." And play "A Japanese Dream" and "Chain of Flowers."

    2. Well, being that this site started in the 90's, this site is almost in its third decade. ;)

  9. Hey, so are there any plans to have a meet-up somewhere in NOLA? I am braving this festival alone, and it would be nice to meet some other Cure fans along the way.
