Tonight in New Orleans This Weekend 38 Venues

New Orleans Live Music — Every Night, Every Genre, Every Neighborhood

New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz and one of the greatest live music cities on earth. From brass bands parading through the French Quarter to intimate jazz clubs on Frenchmen Street, the city pulses with music every single night. With 38 active venues spanning the Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Tremé, Uptown, and the CBD, there's always something happening.

LocalGroove brings it all together in one place. Instead of walking Frenchmen Street and hoping for the best, you can browse upcoming shows across every neighborhood—filtered by genre, date, or venue—and preview artists before you go.
