Newport Folk Festival

”Newport Folk may not look the same, but it will feel the same,” they write.

Because of COVID capacity restrictions, organizers say they'll be ”doing things a little differently this year.”

The double-vinyl set features John's full 2017 Newport show, that included guest appearances from Justin Vernon, Margo Price, Jim James, Roger Waters, Lucius, and Nathaniel Rateliff.

”Though Newport Folk won’t look exactly the same, we are thrilled to be safely bringing music and artists back to the Fort,” organizers write.

Recorded for Newport Folk Fest's virtual edition, the cover of the Burt Bacharach classic also features Andrew Bird, Lucius, Grace Potter, Glen Hansard, Chris Thile, Courtney Marie Andrews, Yola, Hiss Golden Messenger, and more.

Roger Waters and Lucius both backed Prine for "Hello in There" at the 2017 Newport Folk Festival and his new performance aired as part of Newport's virtual 2020 edition.

Other performers include Leon Bridges, Phoebe Bridgers, Brandi Carlile, Deer Tick, The Tallest Man on Earth, and more.

Today's picks for live videos to watch while you're home and every show is cancelled include Bonny Light Horseman at Newport Folk Fest, Kurt Vile solo in Berlin, Grimes at Outside Lands, Lloyd Cole & the Commotions in 1984, Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians in 1985, and more...

”This is the letter I was praying I wouldn’t have to write, feeling we need the healing powers of live music more now than ever,” executive producer Jay Sweet writes.

This will be Big Thief's third time playing Prospect Park and Sheer Mag open.
