Voodoo 2003 - New Orleans, LA
Synonymous with Halloween and the mystical intrigue of New Orleans, the 5th Annual Voodoo Music Experience emerges this year as a 3-day musical journey featuring 3 stages, more then 80 artists and a massive 90 hours of music. Today, Rehage Entertainment, Inc. announced not only the event’s anniversary line-up but the expansion into a "Big Easy" holiday weekend destination. With Voodoo’s inaugural evening coinciding with "All Hallow’s Eve," this former one day event will entice thousands visiting from all over the country to join the many musical ghosts and goblins in New Orleans City Park Friday, October 31 through Sunday, November 2.
"Last year’s event deemed us as a Halloween tradition, this year’s event will solidify us as a 3-day world class music experience not to miss," comments Steve Rehage, President Rehage Entertainment, Inc. "Our weekend line-up showcases some of the best talent in today’s industry and allows us to pepper the weekend with some of music’s rising stars."
 "New Orleans is known as a leading festival and cultural tourism destination because we cater to the senses with our great music, food and just plain fun," added C. Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans. "We are thrilled that premier events like Jazz Fest in the spring, the Essence Festival in the summer and the newly expanded Voodoo in the fall help to enhance the internationally recognized New Orleans brand and attract new visitors to our city year after year."
Launched in 1999, Voodoo has captivated more than 250 thousand attendees and cast its spell on music worshipers across the country in just five short years. Veteran performers such as Eminem, Tool, Snoop Dogg, Stone Temple Pilots, Missy Elliot, Black Crowes, No Doubt, 311, Garbage, Ben Harper, John Mayer, Counting Crows and Macy Gray have all been spell bound by Voodoo and its magical breadth. These are just a few of the artists that have become part of the historic backbone defining ever-popular event. The 2003 Voodoo talent line-up demonstrates the festivals commitment to musical diversity and variety.
