The Domino Effect will take place on Saturday, May 30 at 7:00 p.m. in the New Orleans Arena. The lineup also includes Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Ozomatli, Wyclef Jean, Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal and Junior Brown.



A percentage of proceeds from The Domino Effect will help complete The Brees Dream Foundation's “Operation Kids: Rebuilding Dreams Campaign" in New Orleans.
