The 2019 Treme Threauxdown will rock New Orleans’ Saenger Theatre on Saturday, April 27 during the opening weekend of the 2019 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. 2019 will mark the fifth installment of what has become a signature Jazz Fest event.
Guest performers for 2019 have not yet been announced, but guests over the previous four installments have included Usher, Dierks Bentley, Andra Day, Nick Jonas, Wyclef Jean, Jon Batiste, Allen Toussaint, Juvenile, Dr. John, CeeLo, Ivan and Cyril Neville, Terence Blanchard, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
Tickets for the Threauxdown – which sold out in 2018 – go on sale Friday, January 11 at 10 a.m. CST at the Saenger Theatre Box Office, on ticketmaster.com, on LiveNation.com or by calling 800-745-3000. The theatre box office, located at 1111 Canal St., is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Mardi Gras kicks off early next year with Foo Fighters and the February grand opening of The Fillmore, a state-of-the-art 2,200 capacity live entertainment venue setting new standard for Southeastern United States music clubs.
Decked out with signature Fillmore nostalgia alongside aesthetic nods to NOLA sprinkled throughout the 22,000 square foot venue, the dazzling new venue will host legendary band Foo Fighters for a two-night music and party extravaganza February 15-16,2019.
Opening the performances will be very special guests Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue on Feb. 15th, and Preservation Hall Jazz Band on Feb. 16th.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Foo Fighters come to town to highlight our opening nights,” said Ben Weeden, COO Live Nation Club & Theaters. “With Trombone Shorty and the Preservation Hall guys opening up, we feel so honored to be able to combine NOLA’s rich musical heritage with one of the world’s most popular artists – it’s the perfect way to get things started.”
Tickets for these extraordinary nights go on-sale to the general public Friday October 12 at 10AM CST. General admission tickets will be available on a show by show basis, and live music fans looking to elevate their experiences at the venue are able to contact the club’s Premium Seating program.
“The Live Nation team promised that The Fillmore New Orleans was going to host some of the top talent in entertainment,” said Dan Real, Caesars Entertainment regional president-south and Harrah’s New Orleans general manager. “With the announcement of Foo Fighters as the grand opening act, it is obvious that this theater is going to impress, and we are thrilled to welcome fans to The Fillmore at Harrah’s New Orleans in February.”
Additional acts scheduled to perform in 2019 will be announced October 15.
The newest Fillmore has embraced NOLA, and the design details within reflect the unique qualities of local architecture and material such as wrought iron gate segments and clapboard sidings used throughout the venue alongside local influences such as gas street lanterns and hints of Mardi Gras. The environment encourages guests to make a night of it – come early; stay late; and enjoy a meal or light snack with inventive cocktails and craft beers available throughout the music hall and inside two luxurious lounges and bars.

From August 1 through September 22 Shorty and his band Orleans Avenue logged a 26-date tour of America with the “Voodoo Threauxdown,” a traveling New Orleans-inspired mini-festival that celebrated the city’s Tricentennial and its unique culture. But on Saturday, October 20, 2018 you can join him for his “Hometown Threauxdown” in the city that raised him: New Orleans, Louisiana.
“I got the summer tour idea from our annual Treme Threauxdown in Ap
ril where I invite a bunch of people that are maybe playing the annual Jazz Fest as well as a bunch of musicians from the neighborhood. We just do a three- to four-hour show where we play all types of music, and I wanted people from other cities who visit for Jazz Fest and those who had never been to New Orleans to experience how we do it, right where they live. We toured that show this summer at amphitheaters and outdoor sheds, and by the end we felt it was time to play outdoors back home in New Orleans. It was a great tour and a lot of fun to be able to play this summer in different areas and different places, playing for different people every night–but we are looking forward to playing at home.”
The show marks the first time Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue has played Bold Sphere Music at Champions Square. “I tour so much I never really get to play at home anymore except at Jazz Fest, and playing the Square will be new for us” says Shorty. “And we’re excited Michael Franti and his band agreed to come be part of it; we’ve played shows with them from New York to Australia so having them in to New Orleans is going to be special.”
In addition to Michael Franti & Spearhead, the bill also includes the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Mannie Fresh and the New Breed Brass Band, with more acts and special guests to be announced.
