Voodoo fest has pulled in some big names this year. Once again they have acts that even a boring stay-at-home mom like myself would be interested in seeing (I am still kicking myself for not catching the 2004 show with Sonic Youth and the Pixies). The 2007 line up includes Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins and Wilco. I would be interested in seeing Sinead O'Connor, an old favorite from the days when I used to lock myself in my room along with my teenage angst and Ben Harper who's clever lyrics and piano style have broken across genres. There will also be a lot of great local talent featured including Dr. John, Morning 40 Federation and the fabulous Quintron and Miss Pussycat (and maybe puppets too?).

Voodoo Fest is scheduled for October 26-28 and will take place in City Park. Tickets for the entire weekend are $100 and will be available for purchase this Friday. Neither daily ticket prices nor the daily schedule have been announced.
