Report: Voodoo Fest coming to Austin
Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2005
According to a report on E! Online, Austin will serve as a temporary home to New Orleans' annual Voodoo Music Experience, to be held Oct. 29-30.
E! says an official announcement is expected within days, and that the move was confirmed by the manager of one of the 20-plus bands slated to play this year's festival. The report added officials in Austin were "making accommodations" to use the stages already in place for this weekend's Austin City Limits Festival.
The change in location would likely affect the festival's lineup of bands, which originally included Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, My Chemical Romance and Carl Cox.
According to a message on the event's official Web site, the event will now be a benefit "to raise critically needed funds for those affected by Hurricane Katrina."
