New Orleans knows how to celebrate anticipation. Lundi Gras is the city’s deep inhale before Fat Tuesday’s full exhale, a night charged with excitement, possibility, and late-night plans that turn into memories. This year, one of those plans should include heading to The Fillmore New Orleans, where DJ Pauly D takes over on Monday, February 16, 2026, for a high-energy Lundi Gras headline set.

The Fillmore has become a go-to venue for major touring acts and late-night dance parties, and Pauly D’s arrival feels tailor-made for the holiday. While parades, king cake, and traditions fill the daytime hours, this show offers a different kind of release: one that kicks in after sunset, when the city is buzzing and ready to push things further.

DJ Pauly D x Lundi Gras New Orleans

Pauly D is widely known for his breakout role on Jersey Shore, but his career as a DJ has taken on a life of its own. Over the years, he’s built a reputation for delivering crowd-pleasing sets that lean into big-room EDM, house influences, and club-ready remixes. 

That approach makes his Lundi Gras appearance especially fitting. This is a holiday rooted in collective excitement. Locals, visitors, and last-minute planners all cross paths before Mardi Gras reaches its peak. A DJ-driven night at The Fillmore creates a space where everyone shows up ready to move, whether you’re extending a full day of festivities or just getting started.

Expect doors to open late, crowds to roll in energized, and the room to build steadily as the night goes on. It’s the kind of night where time slips away, and suddenly it’s well past midnight with Fat Tuesday looming just hours ahead.

For New Orleanians deciding how to spend Lundi Gras once the daytime traditions wrap, this show offers a clear answer. Instead of calling it an early night, lean into the moment. DJ Pauly D’s headline set gives the city a place to gather, dance, and celebrate together before Mardi Gras reaches full throttle.

Whether you’re bringing out-of-town friends, meeting up after parades, or simply looking for a reason to stay out late, The Fillmore delivers a high-energy option that fits perfectly into the holiday’s rhythm. Lundi Gras only comes once a year, and spending it on the dance floor with a packed crowd and heavy bass feels exactly right.
