Since 1959, Fort Adams State Park has been home to the folk rock and indie roll festival. This year some of the biggest names are heading to Rhode Island for a legendary music weekend.
This summer the festival stretches across three days in July, from the 25th through the 27th. The lineup includes many different types of artists including strong females such as Mavis Staple, Jenny Lewis, and Puss N Boots. It also gets a little punk with artists like Jack White and Ryan Adams. Newport Festival will be the ultimate weekend getaway to enjoy good music and relax. Tickets are already sold out, but there is always next year. Check out the full lineup below.
