    was on the "rail" for the 2016 show.  When they announced the cancellation this morning I immediately thought PJ. Jazzfest has  connections to PJ and PJ has connections to the Rolling Stones. Seems logical. Or they could just throw everyone off and get the Killers like everyone else does in this situation  =)

    Oh yeah btw we got This as an opener last Jazzfest around:

    The Killers start a tour May 5th in Memphis.... so The Killers it is.

    Ticketmaster sent an email this morning stating that they are issuing refunds but are also working on the lineup for that day. Who do you get to replace the Stones? Otherwise, they face massive refunds. 
    How about the WHO? They are starting their US tour on May 7th so they are available for May 2nd.
    The Who would be an ideal fit. Or Pete Townshend solo (if he does that sort of thing..) to promote his new book coming out.

    I seriously hope not... I saw them at 3 festivals in like a 6 month period and I'm pretty sure thats enough for a lifetime. 

    I mean who can they even get from the 70's and 80's that even tours anymore? Tommy Tutone? Gary Numan? Naked Eyes?? The Romantics?! 

    I'd love to see them take all that money and throw it at acts that they would have never ever in a million years booked to see if they can get a younger demographic in to continue Jazzfest into the next generation. More and more of these legacy acts are getting to their final curtain call. For instance, Papa Roach is playing West Palm Beach on May 4th, throw them on the Congo (smallest) main stage that night and see who shows up. By no means am I saying they are a proper fit at all, i'm just using that as an example.

    They need a massive name with a strong legacy, if they're going to replace The Rolling Stones. Could someone talk Page & Plant into saddling up one time for a nice price?

    That idea has been thrown around quite a bit since Saturday. Logically, I just can't see it happening given the time frame we have to work with.

    It is, but not mine as some festival site tweeted. I just added Grohl part.

    Led Zeppelin doesn't do shows.   It's all on Robert Plant.   He's pretty much said the same thing for decades.   He doesn't like doing it because Bonham's not there.   I'm not sure how they got talked into that reunion show 10 years ago, but I wish I'd gone.  He's pretty stubborn about not doing shows.

    On the flipside we were supposed to go the Stones in Houston.   We're stuck with the airplane tickets, so we're going to road trip through Lousiana and go to a day of Jazzfest (probably the Friday).  I think Santana is headling that night.   Never been to any of the Southern US before.  Should be amazing :)

    The logical choice given the age of the target audience is The Eagles.

    Either that or Page/Plant with McCartney on bass and Ringo Starr on drums.

    Jazz fans don't want to listen to jazz anymore?

    I think the problem is that not enough people will actually pay to watch Jazz.   Thus the headline the festival with acts that will draw (maybe do the Jazz in the afternoon).

    We're stuck going to Houston the week before because of that cancelled stones show.  We were thinking of road tripping to NOLA for a day of Jazzfest, but after adding up how much hotels/gas/tickets would cost... we couldn't motivate ourself to pull the trigger.  Will go explore Houston for a few days and come back for the stones when it gets rescheduled.

    Reading through comments at JazzFest pages about Fleetwood Mac are kind of funny. How people are saying it is not Fleetwood Mac anymore without Lindsey Buckinham and how they should not use that name anymore.

    I thought both Fleetwood and Mac (as in McVie) are still part of the band and have been long before Lindsey & Stevie even joined them.
