That Voodoo that WE do?

Rumors are flying that Austin will host this years Voodoo Music Experience while New Orleans is being rebuilt.

From E! Online:

With Houston already taking in refugees at the Astrodome and San Antonio serving as temporary home to the New Orleans Saints in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Austin has now agreed to host one of the Big Easy's largest music festivals--the Voodoo Music Experience.

Austin, which is known for hosting large-scale musical extravaganzas (see: South by Southwest and Austin City Limits), will serve as the temporary location for the 2005 edition of Voodoo, sources have told E! Online.

The massive two-day event, featuring such big-name alternative rock acts such as Nine Inch Nails and the Foo Fighters, was scheduled to take place over Halloween weekend in the flood-ravaged city.

The event's publicist, MSO PR, would not officially confirm the venue change to Austin Tuesday. But a band manager for one of the acts on the bill said the move was a done deal. Sources in Austin also confirm that the city is making accommodations to use the stages already in place for the Austin City Limits festival, which goes down this week in the self-proclaimed "music capital of the world."
