Happy 504 Day!

Welcome to 504.fm — A New Voice for New Orleans

May 4, 2025

Today marks the beginning of something special.

On May 4th, 2025, we proudly launch 504.fm, a new radio station and digital platform dedicated to celebrating the sound, soul, and spirit of New Orleans. From the bounce-heavy block parties in the 7th Ward to the brass-filled parades down St. Charles, our city pulses with music—and now, there’s a place where all of it lives, breathes, and plays loud.

We’re calling it 504 Day—a nod to the city’s area code and a new annual tradition to celebrate not only the launch of 504.fm, but everything New Orleans music stands for: originality, resilience, rhythm, and pride.

Why We’re Here

504.fm was built with a clear mission: to amplify the voices of New Orleans artists, past and present. We’re a station made for the streets and for the future—where independent talent can get heard, local legends are always in rotation, and the city's cultural stories are front and center.

Whether you're tuning in from Mid-City, uptown, downtown, across the lake, or across the globe, 504.fm is for anyone who knows there's no sound like ours.

What to Expect

We’re not just a playlist—we’re a platform. Here's what you'll find at 504.fm:

• Local Music Programming: From bounce to brass, soul to sludge metal, and everything in between.

• Artist Spotlights: Deep dives into the musicians, producers, and DJs driving the culture.

• On-Air Conversations: Interviews and segments that explore the intersections of music, identity, and New Orleans life.

• Event Coverage: From second lines to Super Sundays, we’ll be there—with a mic in hand.

• Original Content: Blogs, playlists, videos, and audio series curated by people who live and love this city.

• 
  

A Community Effort

504.fm isn’t just a station—it’s a movement powered by the community it represents. We’re here because of the DJs digging through crates, the kids spitting freestyles on porches, the elders still holding it down at Sunday shows, and the countless creators making New Orleans one of the most musically rich places on the planet.

This platform is yours.

Celebrate With Us

Today, we celebrate our launch—and more importantly, we celebrate New Orleans. Starting this year, 504 Day will be our annual tradition: a moment to turn the volume up on what makes this city great and to shine a light on the music, culture, and stories that continue to shape the world.

So whether you’re tuning in live, catching a stream, or reading this on your phone between sets, welcome. You’re part of the 504.fm family now.

We’re live. We’re loud. And we’re just getting started.
