Elton John, The Who, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga will headline this year's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

The festival annually draws hundreds of thousands to New Orleans for two weekends of jazz, blues, Cajun, zydeco and gospel. The lineup draws heavily from Louisiana but it's accented with national acts. This year they will also include No Doubt, Keith Urban, Pitbull, John Legend, Ed Sheeran and Chicago.

Local favorites returning this year include New Orleans queen of soul Irma Thomas, Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews, singer-pianist Allen Toussaint, The Meters and rapper Juvenile.

There will also be a tribute to Fats Domino.

The festival will run April 24, 25 and 26, and April 30, May 1, 2 and 3.

Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
