I plan to make this.    The lineup is actually being released tonight at a party downtown which I may stop by if I can swing it.   If there's any HUGE news (a la Yimmy Yames) I will report in but that's probably too much too hope for as he's done 08 and 10.   The MMJ touring calendar would allow it!

Yes, Delta Spirit is confirmed- they posted on facebook.

If you really can't wait until tomorrow, much has been pieced together by obsessive investigators (much kudos to them) - see here

As have Middle Brother, the Decemberists and the What Cheer? Brigade. Hoping for Fleet Foxes and an acoustic MMJ set. Their music would scare off the folkies.

I'd be pretty pumped to see Elvis Costello, actually.  Caught a live performance on Palladia HD a couple months ago (his keyboard player had an Omnichord!) and decided I'd like to catch him live.

He's also announce for State Theatre in Portland, Maine on July 28, so he'll be in the area for Newport couple of days later.

Acoustic Elvis on my birthday 8) ;D It really can't beat last year's Yim on my birthday, winding up behind the fort in the artists area and wimping out on saying thank you and hello to Yim when I walked by him...but... at least this year I would know who JohnnYYac is when he jumps into my camrea frame...lol I knew he had to be on the forum with the American Dad tshirt! That was great photo magic Johnny!

It actually says Middle Brother (dawes+delta spirit+deertick) will be playing.   I wasn't sure how to interpret that either- sure hoped it was the way you were suggesting, but I don't think so.   

Full lineup up at the Folk Festival website.   M Ward was a nice bonus.   I'll definitely be there.

Yea i think you  are right on that Mahg33ta, I'm sure their set will include their current communal nature with all 3 bands.

Fun lineup tho, happy Brown Bird got on their they live on my street! M. Ward is always great, wonder who his special guests will be. Also Wonder if Jack White will be around considering Wanda Jackson is on the lineup

So pumped for Brown Bird and What Cheer! Brigade.  My friend shot the lineup announcement video and a few of my friends are in it.  Also can't wait for Devil Makes Three.

I'll be there on Saturday + the Deer Tick post fest show at Newport Blues Cafe.
Can't wait, it's my first trip to Newport, my first Delta Spirit show. I'm thinking there's going to be some Middle Brother action Sat night since everyone is in town.
but come on...there's nothing sexy about poop. Nothing.  -bbill

there is a benefit BBQ sat 7:30 - 10:30 (after the folk festival and before the deer tick show) that low anthem and middle brother are playing at.   McCauley posted that he'll be taking a cab from the BBQ to the show so I'm betting he'll drag along middle brother.
On the facebook page it says to expect some "spectacular" special guests.
