The Krewe of Endymion has locked in its biggest names for Mardi Gras 2027, announcing that Zac Brown Band and OneRepublic will headline the Extravaganza at the Caesars Superdome on February 6. The family of the late Jerry Romig, the longtime voice of New Orleans football and Carnival, will serve as the parade's Grand Marshals.
Krewe officials announced the featured performances and Grand Marshals on Tuesday, according to WGNO. Beyond the two headline acts, The Mixed Nuts, Groovy 7 and the Wise Guys are also slated to perform at the Caesars Superdome as part of the Extravaganza.
A Tribute to Endymion's Longtime Voice
The Grand Marshal honor for the Romig family is meant to recognize the family's decades of service to the Krewe and to the culture and community of New Orleans, per the same WGNO report. Jerry Romig worked as the Caesars Superdome's play-by-play announcer for 44 years, krewe officials said, a tenure that made him a fixture of game days across generations of fans.
Romig's connection to Endymion ran just as deep. He served as the Krewe's master of ceremonies for more than 45 years, according to FOX 8, a role that placed him front and center for decades of parade night festivities at the Superdome.
Hollywood Maestro Theme Honors John Williams
Endymion's 2027 parade theme has been set as “Hollywood Maestro- John Williams,” krewe officials said. The parade and Extravaganza are scheduled for Saturday, February 6, 2027, the same report notes.
This year's lineup follows a 2026 Extravaganza that brought Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton to the Superdome stage, according to the Krewe of Endymion. That event also marked the parade's 60th anniversary, held on Valentine's Day, with Mardi Gras historian Arthur Hardy serving as Co-Grand Marshal in recognition of his contributions to Carnival in New Orleans.
