Former New Orleans resident Trent Reznor has confirmed plans for his band, Nine Inch Nails [ tickets ], to perform at this year's Voodoo Music Experience [ tickets ] festival, which organizers announced on Thursday (9/22) has been moved to Memphis.

Originally set to take place in New Orleans, the event--which is still scheduled for Oct. 29-30--had to be relocated to Memphis' Tom Lee Park following the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Proceeds from the festival will benefit the New Orleans Restoration Fund, according to a press release.

"Since our home-base is New Orleans, it's been an especially difficult time for us, with staff losing homes and offices, and some of them losing everything," Voodoo Music Experience founder Stephen Rehage said in a statement. "Moving a festival of this magnitude has been no easy task and we are grateful to the City of Memphis for extending their hospitality, to Trent Reznor for voicing his advocacy of NORF and Voodoo, to all the artists dedicating their time and energy to support the cause and to our incredible group of people working on this project for their dedication and support over these last few weeks."

Nine Inch Nails is the first act confirmed for the relocated event, and the remainder of the artist lineup will be announced in the weeks leading up to the festival, organizers said. Additional information is posted at the event's website.
