NEW ORLEANS — The Who, Stevie Nicks and Foo Fighters will join Lizzo, Lionel Richie, Lenny Kravitz, The Avett Brothers and Elvis Costello at the 2020 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, organizers announced Thursday. More than 650 bands covering many genres of music will perform on 14 stages during the eight-day event. Lizzo, who is also an accomplished flautist, is scheduled to perform Saturday, May 2. Also scheduled to perform is Nicks, who missed the festival's 50th anniversary performance with Fleetwood Mac, because of illness. The band had been scheduled as a last-minute replacement for the Rolling Stones, which also canceled because Mick Jagger needed medical treatment.
