A robust, slightly rowdy but convivial crowd found abundant sunshine and sprawling green-space at the newly configured, much-enhanced layout of the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans City Park*on Friday.

Foals? decidedly British slant on politely wailing guitars and vulnerable vocal pleas were the perfect soundtrack for a setting sun at the Altar stage. But The Weeknd?s over-the-top hip-hop bent boomed over a darkened City Park to close the day, while a killer light display and stirring party scene marked the surprisingly copacetic EDM of Carnage on the Le Plur stage.?
