Who’s performing at the debut edition of We Belong Here New Orleans?

We Belong Here has revealed the full lineup for its New Orleans debut, going down November 13-15 at Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park.

We Belong Here New Orleans is here, and boy, are attendees in for a treat. The festival is making its debut in the southern city this fall, set up along the Mississippi River with the French Quarter as its backdrop. The team behind We Belong Here created an iconic lineup for the inaugural New Orleans festival. Just like the city itself, the booking choices on the lineup make a lasting impression.

ODESZA headlines Friday night with a DJ set. The duo has been slowly getting back into the scene after a massive tour two years ago. Carl Cox takes Saturday with a three-hour sunset set, which alone is worth the ticket price, and Steve Angello joins him on the bill that night. Sammy Virji closes out the weekend in the Sunday headlining slot. His momentum in electronic music and status as a staple in the current-day UK garage scene have been hard to ignore, and, much like the rest of this lineup, he is an electric addition to the debut edition.

The supporting lineup is also insane, with sets from BLOND:ISH, Max Styler, Blu DeTiger, ChaseWest, Simon Doty, and Coco & Breezy. Staying true to their roots, which emphasizes the city the event is in, from the waterfront to the skyline, they will also have 20 local New Orleans artists playing throughout the weekend. The mix of genres played at each city We Belong Here hosts is so diverse that it almost feels like a traveling circus. But the dedication to the vibe gives it legs rather than the event feeling like a blip in time or a weekend pop-up.

This is the brand’s first edition outside of its original Miami and NYC footprint. Based on this lineup, New Orleans will be one of the best lineups the festival has seen in recent years since its debut. Tickets will go on sale later this week, with presale beginning on June 11th.
