Lil Wayne won't be playing the Super Bowl halftime show at this year's game in his hometown, but Weezy will be one of the headliners (with the Roots) of the 2025 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Luke Combs, Lil Wayne & The Roots and Lenny Kravitz will headline Jazz Fest 2025 in New Orleans. Why it matters: Rock on, my brothers, sisters and friends. The big picture: Jazz Fest combines the top touring acts with the best musicians and food New Orleans has to offer.

Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Luke Combs and Lil Wayne & The Roots are among the big acts set to headline the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival when it returns to the New Orleans Fair Grounds April 24 through May 4, organizers announced Wednesday.
