Upcoming Events

Both events are completely FREE and are highlighted by concerts by award-winning national-recording artists.

Last year's headliners were New Orleans-own Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue as well as country-music star Darius Rucker, who both performed free concerts. Other performers who have taken part in Fan Fest include Blues Traveler, Eddie Money, Gin Blossoms, Lady Antebellum and Lifehouse.

Lady Antebellum

The Allstate Fan Fest always looks to present exciting artists for the people of New Orleans and the fans of the competing teams. Last year's Allstate Fan Fest had the pleasure of Lady Antebellum performing an amazing set at a free New Year's Eve concert - and then the trio gave the Louisiana Superdome one of the top renditions of the national anthem prior to the 76th Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Take a look at a "Behind the Scenes" recap of the trio's New Orleans visit.

The trio of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood have a unique blend that mingles classic country, 1960s R&B soulfulness and the heart-on-the-sleeve openness of 1970s singer-songwriters, all presented with a razor-sharp contemporary edge. It's a sound that had Lady Antebellum generating deafening buzz as one of modern country's brightest hopes even before the release of their self-titled debut album.

Prior to its Allstate Sugar Bowl performances, Lady Antebellum was a up-and-coming award-winning group. And since then, the honors have continued to roll in as they have become one of the hottest bands in the country.
