New Orleans Jazz Festival 2022
Before the beginning of the 2022 New Orleans Jazz Festival, there were several questions in our minds. Like, would people gather or not keep in mind the COVID situation at the moment. Fortunately, the number of attendees touched 475,000 at 2022 Fest. The producers of the festival announced this. It was the same total as the 2019 Jazz Fest. It was the last festival before the pandemic as they canceled the 2020 and 2021 festivals. However, the 2019 Jazz Fest, its 50th-anniversary celebration, was eight days long; it consisted of two four-day, Thursday to Sunday weekends.
The highest crowd attained this year in the New Orleans Jazz Festival 2022
The 2022 festival concluded Sunday. It was only for seven days at the Fair Grounds. So the average daily attendance was higher this year than in 2019. The huge crowds filled the main Festival Stage field for the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the first Sunday and Stevie Nicks on the second Saturday. The largest crowd this year was that of Nick in this year’s festival, as it spilled onto the dirt track.
A great crowd emerged on the final Sunday
The field in front of the Congo Square Stage packed up close to capacity several times. This was the case, especially during the second weekend for Ziggy Marley, Kool & the Gang, and Erykah Badu. The Shell Gentilly Stage hosted large second-weekend crowds for Billy Strings, Elvis Costello & the Imposters, and the Zac Brown Band. On the final day, crowds of people filled up the WWOZ Jazz Tent for Norah Jones. Similarly, the Blues Tent was packed for Randy Newman and Buddy Guy, and that too beyond capacity.
The highest figure of people this year
The attendance of the people for the year 2022 was the highest with a figure of 475,000. Since hurricane Katrina, 2022 is the highest total attendance for Jazz Fest.
