By: Tori Hartshorn Feb. 12, 2019
Blackbird Presents is proud to announce Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats will headline the sixth annual "Second Weekend at the Saenger" Concert Series. This unforgettable concert is set to take place on Friday, May 3 at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans.
On Friday, May 3rd, Foundation of Funk featuring founding members of The Meters, Zigaboo Modeliste and George Porter Jr., keyboardist/vocalist Ivan Neville, Tony Hall, and guest star Anders Osborne, will kick off the evening, followed by a full set from Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.
Emeril Lagasse will prepare a pre-show reception for Gold Circle ticketholders, which will also include a special acoustic set from Nathaniel Rateliff.
Some other very special guests will also join the show.
The LA Times calls Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats "one of the most thrilling arrivals of recent years, its reputation stoked considerably by the group's incendiary live shows." The group lean heavy into R&B and soul with a garage rock edge on the band's eponymous debut and 2018's Tearing At The Seams.
This is a Marigold Project Event. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Emeril Lagasse Foundation and The Send Me A Friend Foundation.
Tickets go on sale Friday, February 15th at 10 AM CT via Livenation.com, by phone at 800-745-3000, and at the Saenger Theatre Box Office, and are being offered at a variety of price ranges.
