1. johnnYYac - all in



Next up, line up.  What we know so far...

Michael Kiwanuka
The Lumineers
Houndmouth
The Last Bison
Andrew Bird
Shovels & Rope
The Lone Bellow

Anyone care to make a Spotify playlist for this lineup, as it grows? 

I'm stealing someone else's comment, but the folks in this lineup look like extras from steerage during the filming of Titanic. 

Oh, and speculation?

We do keep moving around like ships in the night at the NFF - it's the only way to go to sample all the great music and very much in keeping with the Newport sailing tradition.  So jump on board and we'll have another great time.  I still have a couple of great photos of you from last year, Penny, that I don't think you've seen.

Now that Jim is single again, I think this is the year you're finally going to snag him with that gorgeous plastic bridal veil!

kiwanuka is great. buuuttttttttttt i need to see the rest of the line up before i commit

[MrWhippy]

I really hope that Jim getting confirmed for Forecastle (in "Festival Speculation" thread) is a good sign for him being at Newport just two weeks later. 

What I'd really love at Newport is a JJ Band set and also a JJ solo set as he's done there in the past.

I'm counting on it Jon.  Beth & I saw both of Jim's solo shows at newport (2008 & 2010) and they are among the best performances we've ever seen at NFF over the 20 years we've been going to this festival.

i was chatting with bold99 and he brought up that Ryan Adams had never played the fest, also it's time to invite M Ward back this year :-)

Add Bright Eyes and you have a Monsters of Folk reunion!  I think She & Him have an album coming, another reason for M. Ward to be there.

I'd love to see a MOF reunion! Haha that would be awesome! I do think, though if M. plays it'll be with Zooey. Not really complaining, but I'd like to see M. solo

Also I can confirm this news that only I care about: Lady Lamb The Beekeeper will not be at Newport 

[Northern Neighbour]

She & Him will be touring this year, and they have nothing scheduled for the end of July.

[MrWhippy]

Ryan Adams would be fantastic, that is if he can STFU between songs.  Love his music, but his banter annoys the hell out of me.

Jim James just announced in the lineup. I pretty much figured he would play, but it's nice to have it confirmed. Looking forward to my second Newport Folk Festival!

   Woo Hoo.  I think we all expected this one but very nice to hear that it is official.

Looking forward to seeing Jim for the 4th time at my favorite summer festival.
