We're still unable to find out when they play? Is it 7pm or 8pm?

The festival supposedly runs from 11am-7pm, I suppose they will post the times/itenary at a later date.

Yeah - it will be awhile before they post the grids listing exact times and stages. FM is a headliner, look for them to be the last band of the day on the Acura stage.

Could Stevie add a Fleetwood Mac version of "New Orleans" to the set list for a one-off......I would love to hear the tune with a mellow horn section.

They could also use a horn section for Tusk! There will surely be many horn players at hand, so perhaps they can recruit a few.
It would be great to hear the Lindsey/Fleetwood Mac take on "New Orleans."

I have been wondering the same things...if Fleetwood Mac will do the song "New Orleans" on this date...also thought about horns for Tusk...also wondering how the stage setup will change for this outdoor venue....

Even tho I don't want anything dropped and I don't really care to hear NO (song) I think it is appropriate and I would welcome it. I'm ecstatic at the thought of horns for Tusk....No way they will drop that one.

In fact I would be totally cool with a full set of Rock/Jazz/Blues set for this show. My secret desire was Chris to join them and play a lot of the old classics, but I will be grateful for what FM delivers.

the headliners play at around 5:30, since they shut it down at 7:00

I'm going. Despite the agony of waiting in the heat all day, the fact that the setlist will be shortened, and the sad reality that even if you're there right when the gates open you'll be behind a pen holding a couple hundred VIP package holders.... I'm looking forward to it. Hey, at least you save money!

Thanks you just talked me right out of going.

I already imagined the setlist would be shortened, but all these other things considered hmmp. It's going to cost me approx $500 (yes I'm driving) but I need another NOLA vaca soooo bad.

Excerpt from an article on the Jazz Fest

Times Picayune, March 26, 2013

More of a challenge is Saturday, May 4’s headlining set, which puts two of the most eagerly anticipated shows of the 2013 fest right up against each other: Fleetwood Mac on Acura versus Frank Ocean at Congo Square. And Sunday, May 5 demands that festgoers choose between old-school and new-school, as Trombone Shorty steps into the prestigious festival closing slot on the Acura Stage, while Aaron Neville takes a solo turn to end the day at Gentilly.

Gee, um, which one shall I pick? Fleetwood Mac or Frank Ocean. Help me somebody. I can't decide.
