The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival runs from April 25 through May 5. This means that the Stones' set will be just days before they kick off their latest tour, the “Hackney Diamonds” tour. The 19-date tour will commence on April 28 with 19 dates through July 17.

Hackney Diamonds, the Rolling Stones' latest album, was released on October 20, 2023. It was the band's first album of original music in nearly two decades since 2005's A Bigger Bang. The album features collaborations with the likes of Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Elton John, and former bassist of the band, Bill Wyman.

The Rolling Stones are one of the most iconic bands of all time. Throughout their illustrious career, they have been nominated for a dozen Grammys, winning three. Their latest win was at the sixtieth Grammy Awards, winning Best Traditional Blues Album for Blue & Lonesome.

The band consists of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood. Some of the Rolling Stones' past members include Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor, Ian Stewart, and Brian Jones.
