Jazz Fest, round two, begins today at the New Orleans Fairgrounds, and it should be even bigger than opening weekend.

"A lot of people will be rolling in for the second weekend," said Keith Spera of NOLA.com. "It's going to be consistently bigger crowds across the board."

He says the second weekend of the fest is often the bigger of the two, and with acts like Lenny Kravitz, Pearl Jam, and Luke Combs set to play this weekend, this year is shaping up that way.

Headliners today include Santana, Cage the Elephant, and Morris Day & the Time.

Also performing at the Fairgrounds this weekend are Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Better Than Ezra, and Patti LaBelle.
