New Orleans Events: Concerts, Jazz & Theatre
Live events, concerts, sports, theatre and unforgettable tours — handpicked, city by city.
New Orleans' calendar is led by music, with our listings tracking 299 concerts against 104 theatre performances, anchored by a mix of grand historic theatres and legendary music clubs.
The Saenger Theatre, a restored 1927 movie palace, is the busiest venue in our data. The Howlin' Wolf and House of Blues New Orleans cover the city's rock and blues scene, while Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro keeps New Orleans jazz on the nightly calendar. Caesars Superdome rounds things out with NFL football and the city's biggest stadium concerts.
A dedicated jazz bistro holding its own alongside the Superdome on the same venue list is exactly what you'd expect from a city where live music is woven into daily life, not just tourist attractions.
Every listing links directly to a trusted ticketing partner for live pricing and availability. Browse the calendar below and filter by category or date to plan your visit.
