2012 Jazz Fest after-show schedule taking shape

Keeping track of all the non-Fairgrounds shows taking place during the 2012 Louisiana Jazz and Heritage Festival, an 11-day music marathon, may be a foolhardy mission. Thanks, however, to concert aggregator sites like Jambase and Pollstar and the nearly world famous Jazz Fest Grids site, it is an attainable task and one that should make any ambitious Jazz Fester salivate with anticipation.

Below is the our best effort at keeping tabs on the evening and late-night shows going down around the city from April 26 to May 6 outside of the gates of the festival.

Who will you be seeing?
