"Festival Productions is excited to announce that for the first time ever in the festival's long history, rock 'n roll's greatest jammin' blues band, the Allman Brothers Band will take the Newport stage on Saturday, August 4th at the Dunkin' Donuts(r) Newport Folk Festival. The Band will play a full, concert-length set as part of a sensational day-long program that also features the North Mississippi Allstars, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine), Assembly of Dust, and others, to be announced soon.
The Sunday, August 5th program welcomes back longtime festival favorites Alison Krauss & Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas. The multiple-Grammy(r) winner joins Emmylou Harris, Amos Lee, Alejandro Escovedo, and bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, among many others to be announced in upcoming weeks.
A program for Friday, August 3rd at the International Tennis Hall of Fame at the Newport Casino will be announced soon as well.
Reserved Seating Section added at Fort Adams!
For the first time since the festival has been held at Fort Adams State Park, reserved seats will be available, in addition to general admission seating. Folding chairs will be set up theater style on one half of the lawn facing the main stage. This will be a no cooler/no blanket zone. The other half of the lawn will remain open for general seating for those who like to arrive early and bring their own low-backed lawn chairs or beach blankets."
