Grammy-winning singer John Mayer has been added to the lineup of the 2007 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Mayer, who will perform May 5, joins headliners Rod Stewart, Steely Dan, Norah Jones, ZZ Top, John Legend, Brad Paisley, Van Morrison and Ludacris for the festival that spans two weekends in April and May.

The festival runs April 27-29 and May 4-6 at the New Orleans Fair Grounds, a horse-racing track that flooded and was seriously damaged by Hurricane Katrina. More than 80 percent of the performers are from Louisiana.
