The annual event was originally scheduled to take place in New Orleans’ City Park, where it has been held for the last six years.

“We want to be a part of the rebuilding process of New Orleans and we are dedicated to preserving the unique musical identity of our great city,” Voodoo Music Experience founder/producer Stephen Rehage said.

“I am in awe of the generosity and kindness of so many people and cities who are reaching out to provide us a home for this year’s festival, the artists who are offering to perform and our fans and sponsors who are providing their continued support and patience during this difficult time.

“We look forward to harnessing this energy into something truly great for this community that so many of us, our friends and family call home.”

The bill for this year’s event was to include Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, The Flaming Lips, Queens of the Stone Age, Billy Idol, Social Distortion, Tiesto, My Chemical Romance, LCD Soundsystem and more. No word yet on whether the same acts will perform at the relocated festival.

Original tickets will be honored at the relocated festival, organizers said, although fans can also get refunds by phone or through Ticketmaster.

Organizers plan to return the event to its hometown of New Orleans in 2006.
