The 2025 Hogs for the Cause festival in New Orleans is set to feature some of the most exciting names in country music, including Charley Crockett, Zach Top, and Stephen Wilson Jr. The event, scheduled for April 4th and 5th at the UNO Lakefront Festival Grounds on Lake Pontchartrain, will also showcase performances by Willow Avalon, JD McPherson, Eddie 9V, The Droptines, Vandoliers, Lola Kirke, Giovannie & The Hired Guns, and more.
Beyond the stellar lineup, Hogs for the Cause serves a greater mission. Over 90 barbecue teams will compete on-site, cooking up mouthwatering dishes to raise funds for families battling pediatric cancer. Organized by the nonprofit Hogs for the Cause, the event has become a cornerstone of the barbecue and music communities, raising over $12 million in direct grants across its 16 previous editions.
“Every year, we strive to bring our fans the best music from around the country, and 2025 is no exception,” said Becker Hall, co-founder and CEO of Hogs for the Cause. “From Charley Crockett’s electric live performances and Stephen Wilson Jr.’s soulful storytelling to meteoric rising stars like Zach Top, this lineup reflects the heart and soul of Hogs for the Cause—community, creativity, and celebration. With many of these artists debuting new music or making waves on tour, we’re thrilled to present an event where their talent can shine while we rally together to support families in need.”
Tickets for the festival are now available in various categories, including general admission, VIP, Super VIP, and judges passes. This marks the 17th year of the event, uniting music, barbecue, and philanthropy to make a meaningful impact.
