In contrast Boston Calling’s high-energy, manhunt-style of lineup announcements, Newport Folk Fest stays true to their own vibe, by slowly rolling out their 2015 festival lineup. Today, they started things off with a huge announcement: Australian songstress, Courtney Barnett, will be playing the fest on Saturday, July 25th.
So, it looks like Saturday passes are already sold out at this point, but if you don’t want to miss your chance to see what else Newport has in store, a limited number of Friday passes are still on sale.
Check out news about Barnett’s forthcoming album and watch the video for her new single “Pedestrian at Best” here.
Below is her Tiny Desk Concert because NPR covers Newport Folk Fest so it’s almost the same thing (not really but it’s still really good stuff)?
