Newport Folk Festival 2012: July 28 & July 29

[mahg33ta]

ps with Forecastle lineup coming around the same time, what a week!

[bold992006]

The lineup is being released next Wed night at a party in Cambridge.   Info on their facebook page.

I saw on another thread that Bold99 is going.   I have 2 tix also and hope to be there if I can juggle around some work stuff.   If not I hope he gives us live updates!!

Lineup to be released midnight 3/1.   I can't see YY not on it, but wonder if it will be solo, MoF, or New Multitudes.

I will be there....I'm pretty excited.  I got on the guest list.  I think my friend Steve is doing the lineup release video again this year so I may even get on it....a few of my friends were on it last year.

I think he will be there...probably with New Multitudes..maybe solo.  excited to see who else is there.

Looks like I am making this.   See you there! (I'll have deer tick shirt and orioles hat on)

Can't check the stream from my phone. If anyone's inspired, would love a list with the line up. So excited MMJ will be there!

[headhunter]

Yippee!!!! More money to spend on festivals! (as if Jazz Fest and Forecastle isn't enough).

If my wife doesn't divorce me after all this traveling for shows & music, I'll be in good shape.

Newport is just so damn expensive...
and they only sell beer on one pier (raise your hand if you're a lush!)..
but I heard these after parties/shows are going to be insane...
Jim will play on seven different stages in one day---I could follow him around but that would REALLY violate the restraining order..

SHEEEOOOOOTTTTTT what's a gal to do...



edited--mahgeeta! just got my first Joe Fletcher shirt, too!

[tdb810]

HOLY crap! There's my Gary Clark Jr!

And here I was thinking as the lineup was announced how mahg33ta probably had a raging train boner even 3 bottles of wine couldn't contain

[mahg33ta]

I just read bold99's lineup party summary on the other thread and my raging train boner resurfaced.

[MrWhippy]

Holy hell what a lineup.  Must attend. 

Does anyone know if Newport tends to sell out quickly, or is it likely safe to wait a few days on tix whily I pull the trip together?

Now that is an image that will be stuck in my head for awhile....




OK, now it's gone.


Also, I'd really like to go to this, but I should probably take my family on a vacation instead or get a divorce and have my children hate me forever. Yeah, I guess I'll do the family vacation thing. (weeping into my pillow because I really want to go to this)

EDIT: HA I wrote my post before seeing the Animal House clip and that was my exact reaction and Belushi came to my mind....this board literally knows what I'm thinking before I even think it!!

[mahg33ta]

HOLY SHIITTTTTTTT!!!!! This totally makes up for not being able to make Forecastle for me!

Honestly (and this may be met with scorn) but if I could only do one festival I would choose Newport over Forecastle based on the lineups and my musical tastes.

I'm totally with you g33ta, in comparison, the only band I'd miss is Wilco and most likely MMJ will play a shorter set at Newport.....I have successfully avoided seeing Wilco my whole life and it continues through this summer, for absolutely no reason at all, I love Wilco, always have! Same with the Black Keys (but feel like i missed my opportunity with them now that they are playing stadiums) but I digress.
