The lineup for this year’s Voodoo Experience music festival in New Orleans has been something we’re covering a bit better over at our sister site, LMB NOLA, but if you’ve been paying attention you know that it’s a blast from the past, 1990’s style. Headlining this year’s festival will be Soundgarden, who’ve returned to the stage with a reunion this year and nailing the nostalgia thing big-time for our friends over at Coventry Music. Along with that major reunion, this year’s festival will welcome Snoop Dogg and a return to form by Blink-182 as the big names on the lineup. Plus LMB faves Major Lazer & Girl Talk and relative newcomers Givers would get all the attention from us they rightfully deserve. Past that, I’m not sure who I’d be excited to see…

Stay up on the coverage over at @LMBNOLA and holler at us on our Facebook page if you’re psyched about going this year. We get the sense that this may not be the strongest lineup for them and they may need to augment with a few more heavy hitters quickly if they want to keep from getting cancelled. Halloween weekend competition may be too strong for the nostalgic headliners this year…
