Over their 30-year-career, New Orleans funk band Galactic has always worked with powerful vocalists, including early member Theryl DeClouet and, in recent years, collaborators Erica Falls and Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph. And each of their more recent albums have featured a mix of guest singers, from David Shaw and Maggie Koerner to Boots Riley and Mavis Staples.

Across its first 40 years, the French Quarter Festival had already grown to be one of Louisiana’s largest annual events. The fest still decided to go even bigger for its 40th anniversary in 2024, expanding its footprint along the riverfront and adding new features, like a dedicated DJ stage. Those additions weren’t a one off, and French Quarter Fest will be a similarly big event during its 41st edition with more than 300 performances running Thursday, April 10, through Sunday, April 14.
