A street section was paved over to make a permanent viewing area. So now this new main stage can hold even larger crowds...
Some video snippets from performances at this and different venues at the festival:

From Jazz Fest blurb: "Over close to 30 years of funky existence, they've sold more than 20 million albums to wigged-out fans and laced the culture with plenty of hits including global smashes Rock Lobster, Planet Claire and Love Shack. They've stamped their musical signature, idiosyncratic style and beehive hairdos in every corner of alternative pop-rock, from post-punk to dance, from garage rock to new wave. They've got a reputation as the world's greatest party band."
And at 11PM, the last performance of entire festival:
