Just saw that tix are available now. Buying em! Even tho -- drats Gary Clark is on Sunday! I am trying to save money here...but should I just go for the 2 days? It looks amazing!
definitely go for the two days. You are saving money by seeing so much great music at once!

Oh crap..I went for the one day. It didn't look like a huge savings to buy the two day, and I want to see how Chrissy does :) As a consolation prize, I am going to try to see Gary Clark in NJ in June.
PS - Bob has no idea we are going to this lol. I am the impulsive concert ticket purchaser in the family. :thumbsup:

We're just doing the one day, and Chrissy can hang with my gaggle of girls. Maybe Kyle's daughter, too.

Just grabbed a 2-day pass, though I am likely doing this one alone.
Not sure I can convince my better half to travel to two different MMJ-related festivals in one month's time.
this line up has made up for not being able to make it to forecastle.
I'll be there with some friends who are not here in MMJ world. Looking forward to seeing friends from here too when I get there. The whole line-up is pretty sweet... should be an awesome time! Will be my first time at NFF... was planning to go this year anyway, and MMJ just made it an even more done deal... and it's great, because I can't make it to Forecastle either. Newport, however, is barely an hour away from me. Sweet, sweet deal!!

I'm more of a lurker on these boards usually but I will be attending the pull NFF this year.
Saw the lineup last night.
Bought tix and booked a hotel this morning.
What a great lineup.
Now just hoping there is a chance M. Ward is a late addition and by some act of god we get even a lil MOF.
How does one fly into/close to Newport. Is there an airport?

Trish- Chrissy will LOVE it. Newport is the most kid and family festival. Beth and I have been there numerous times. Call or text me for details. She would be SO in her element.

This is excellent. Keep 'em coming. NFF '10 was special. My daughters are stoked, especially Katherine, who has been jealous of her sister and cousin for 1 1/2 years, thanks to this constant reminder.

Christ! He's showing that picture again.
Can't think of a better venue for a kid's first MMJ concert, too.
I would love to go fresh from turning 21 but I don't know if i can afford the tickets.

You know me and ms will be there. Just bought our tix and psyched to see NN, Carol, JohnnYYac and others on the forum signing up. We had a fantastic time in 2010 seeing Jim play 4 times and meeting JYac for the first time! Only bummer was the beer set up - lines, remote location and you had to drink it all a quarter mile away from the music. The wife smuggled in some wine, uh I mean grape juice, on day 2.
It's gonna be another great July to build on the good times last year N of the border.
BTW, I spent over an hour last night trying to find reasonable accommodations but struck out. Last time I found a good deal in Middletown just N of Newport. Any suggestions??

Penny and I and some friends stayed at the Best Western Mainstay in Newport last year. I've stayed in this area a few times and for the location and price I don't think you can do much better. It is a 5 min cab into town and prob the nicest Best Western I've been to. Newport is expensive so it is not dirt cheap but way less than hotels downtown..most of which are sold out at this point anyway.

You can make this trip affordable. This place is within walking or cab distance, it's half the price, perfectly nice and will fill up fast. I stayed there last year no problem. I have a room on reserve for Fri and Sat just in case. You can cancel up to 72 hours if you CALL, don't go through the website, it'll tell you there aren't rooms.

From 2010, I know Kory, headhunter, and bluesky were there. I'm thinking wolof and mahg33tah, too, and bold99. I picked Kory out of the crowd 'cause I knew to look for a tall dude with camera, then met you by chance. Due to a change in the schedule, I was at the wrong stage just prior to Jim's set; otherwise I would have tried for up front. Oh, I also know Tube Top was there, for she emailed me a photo she took of me and Maddie.

Yup i was there, i had not had a big presance on the forum at that point so I may have missed that roll call if there was one but I have seen Yim Yames both times he has played there.

This roll call is lookin better and better! July cannot get here soon enough! :beer:
Amen, Trish. Two fests within two weeks with epic roll calls.
This NFF roll call is shaping up much stronger, I think, than 2010. I know jYac and his spawn and I and the ms were there. Were any other forum folks there in 2010?
From 2010, I know Kory, headhunter, and bluesky were there. I'm thinking wolof and mahg33tah, too, and bold99. I picked Kory out of the crowd 'cause I knew to look for a tall dude with camera, then met you by chance. Due to a change in the schedule, I was at the wrong stage just prior to Jim's set; otherwise I would have tried for up front. Oh, I also know Tube Top was there, for she emailed me a photo she took of me and Maddie.
Yup i was there, i had not had a big presance on the forum at that point so I may have missed that roll call if there was one but I have seen Yim Yames both times he has played there.
I met Headhunter and lovely wife, Beth at Jim's performance in 2008. Also, saw Johnny take the photo of Jim with his daughter (though I didn't met Yac that weekend). Wolof7 ~I don't believe there was a roll call for 2008 Newport Folk.

If anyone is looking for a hotel on the more reasonable side, I found a Knights Inn in Middletown. $427 for two nights. It's a little ride from the venue, but I'm going to bring my bike like I did in 2010. It's fun passing all the cars and no parking fee!

If you have AAA, you can get the Knights Inn for $385 for 2 nights.
Jahmazed and I have tix for the weekend, possibly on the water for sunday. I am booking the Knights Inn, are you all staying fri-sun or sat-mon? Its cheaper staying till monday but check in not until 3pm on sat. Probably best to check in friday night, we should have floor space for a couple more forum peeps...

Penny, if you want to live up to the reputation that proceeds you, be ready to rock really hard at Forecastle and NFF.
I'm guessing that won't be a problem.

tickets arrived in the mail today. cant wait!
Someone post here as soon as they know about the after shows. Those are going to be a big convincing point for me

you read that lineup and you need convincing? lol
isnt there usually a friday night show too?

I attended in 2010 and I wasn't aware of any after shows. There could have been some, but I didn't know of them if they did happen. Except I seem to remember The Avett Brothers playing a short set on top of a crane or something. I might be just making that up.
As for convincing...I would just say go for it. The line up is great and I think we're going to see a lot of Jim playing with the other acts, not just the ones he is his being billed for. I also imagine we will get some guests during Jackets set as well (Ben Sollee, Pres Hall Band, Conor Oberst). It's a very laid back festival. Relatively small crowds compared to other summer festivals. It is a bit of a trek from Louisville, but it is well, well worth it.
In 2011 deer tick did 3 after shows with tons of guests. Theyre doing it again I know. Wether I can get tickets for them is a deciding factor for me. The flight+hotel is what I haven't been convinced on yet. Living in central America this summer for a month, so money's tight

Hey Eric I was busting your balls a bit and maybe giving you the push off the fence if it helped. Newport is a budget buster for sure and if you have to fly to get here that's even worse.
Seriously though, tix for the Deer Tick shows did not go on sale until the Tues before the festival (7/26 according to my credit card statement, and I bought them the second they went on sale). So if you are waiting to see if you get tix, that may not work. It was a bit of a shit show. I think anyone trying should try and get 4 and sort them out later.
Maybe it won't be so last minute this time since they seem to be planning a bit more in advance. Last time they were $15 too which may not happen. I'm all for keeping ticket costs down but that contributed to the frenzy.

The Friday night show is held at the International Tennis Hall of Fame. You have to buy a separate ticket for this night. When I went in 2010, Steve Martin played with Steep Canyon Rangers. It's outdoors and very intimate. Totally worth going to if you like whose playing that evening.

awesome. thanks! interested to see who might be playing this year if they have one!
And- as if there weren't enough tickets to buy- there is also a Sat evening BBQ at 7:30 which bridges the time between end of festival (7:15 pm) and late shows (11:15 pm last year). I did not go but reviews from people I know were good. Lots of musicians hanging out. Some good youtube floating around.

$135/each is awfully steep on top of an already expensive weekend. But, if sitting under a tent with 20 "wedding-type" round tables, sharing food and drinks with the artists and watching them take turns hopping up to play songs sounds like fun, I'd consider how to find a way to make it happen. Espec since the lineup this year is MMJ, dawes, deer tick, brown bird, alabama shakes, etc on Sat.
It will sell out fast. Last year it sold out in 3 days and, if like everything else, it'll be faster this year.

Br00ke? Penny?
someone asked on facebook what it was about and here was someone else's response:
It was a very intimate event in a tent behind the main stage with dozens of artists playing whatever came to mind on a small stage. Last year it was about 3.5 hours of non-stop awesome music complemented by an open bar & buffet. Don't question - just get a ticket. It was the best thing I did last year.
I'd be all over it but for the pricetag and ticket limit. I'm coming Saturday with my Mom, sister, and three little girls ages 8-10, so its a no go. Definitely would do if not for the baggage.
Thanks very much for the heads up, Kyle.
I spent a while balking at the price, then caved in and grabbed two for me and the mister.
Of the crazy things MMJ makes me do, I will have to add being a vegetarian who just bought a $140 ticket for a barbecue to the list.
Also, FYI, the NFF twitter feed says that the BBQ tix are almost sold out.

Awesome! It'll be good to see a familiar face. Thought your comment was great and gave me a chuckle- I am a vegetarian too and so in the same boat. I shot a comment to them requesting vegetarian options...
This is a fun read to kill the time while you enjoy the 80 degree weather and dream of Newport. Good paragraph at the end about the bbq.

I got a ticket and could care less about the food!! This sounds way too awesome and unique to miss. Mahg33ta...... I owe you a beer or veggie burger for alerting me/us to this ticket sale. I would never have learned about it otherwise. I am in for Saturday day but not on the roll call list as I am + ?
Now I'm likely + 0 with this added event, but I am stoked. Looking forward to seeing you again in RI and Mr. Whippy as well, who I met briefly at the Birchmere last week.
No prob - glad to help. Damn that sold out fast. It'll be good to see you again too- see if my wife recognizes you from your DVD again lol.
Here is a little more info about the event... doesn't seem to be a link to this from the newport website but if you go straight to http://www.newportfolkfest.net/benefit (http://www.newportfolkfest.net/benefit) it works. Drinks are free, so I will do my best to get my $$ worth.
I'm going back and forth about getting weekend tix or just Saturday...Carl, New Multitudes, and Conor Oberst are the only acts I'm really interested seeing on that day.
Damn the BBQ is too rich for my blood...f-ing student loans just increased this month....ahhhhh buying my life, America is great....sorry to be so cynical, my life is good, just really wish i could join the festivities...I f-in love BBQ's and with potential MMJ being there i should empty my life savings. digressions digressions
I'd be super into this event but it IS expensive'ish ... I would of done it but my travel companions saved me from myself with a "not in my budget" and its sooooo not in my budget, I just have a bad habit of saying yes anyways, yes they did save me! According to Newport Folk Fest twitter, it sold out hours ago.

Baggage? Geez, I hope your family isn't reading this ;D
I had a hellacious day at work and when I finally walked out of the office and read my e-mail from the NFF I was bummed to find out I was too late. If anyone bails on 2 tix send me a PM.

Perhaps a poor choice of words. ::)
I actually really look forward to giving my 10 and 8 year old daughters their first MMJ concert. They've earned it. This is perfect, their first Jacket show at Newport. My mom and sis too.
Our 4 year old knows all the words to Bermuda Highway and Steam Engine, to the point that she called Jim on flubbing a line on a bootleg she heard. She thinks Black Metal is two songs; when there's a pause, she says "here comes another Black Metal!" Then the song resumes. I love it. "Here comes another Black Metal!" ;D
I completely missed the sale for BBQ tickets. Oh well.

No prob - glad to help. Damn that sold out fast. It'll be good to see you again too- see if my wife recognizes you from your DVD again lol.
Here is a little more info about the event... doesn't seem to be a link to this from the newport website but if you go straight to http://www.newportfolkfest.net/benefit (http://www.newportfolkfest.net/benefit) it works. Drinks are free, so I will do my best to get my $$ worth.
I'm sure she will since it sounds like her observation skills are spot on. Good work converting Zach into a full fan after his NYC show. I'm sure he'll be thanking you. See you in July.
where are people staying? i know newport is pricey but does anybody have any intel on outside areas. will have a car so don't mind driving a few minutes out of town after the show. not really trying to spend $500 a night.

2 years ago I stayed all the way up in providence at the renaissance. Great hotel and a nice town, but definitely more than a few minutes out of town :-\

After the shows, any drive "out of town" will be more like an hour, not a few minutes. Usually there is heavy duty traffic late.
We've been up there about a dozen times and always stay at various b&b's in town. Most run from about $250-$300 per night.

Wilco playing Newport the day before the festival.
I just saw that as well and came here immediately to see if you guys had heard or were talking about it.
I wonder if they'll join anyone for songs at the festival

Yes!!! Holy shit the best music weekend of the summer just got even better! :thumbsup:
Wow, I just booked our flights and bought the Newport tickets on Friday, didn't even know this was coming. Wilco is one of my top 3 bands. Only problem is our time is somewhat limited and Friday was deemed our sightseeing day. May have to miss this.
Doesn't look promising for them to stick around and play at the festival:
27 Jul 2012 / Newport, RI / Fort Adams State Park
28 Jul 2012 / Cooperstown, NY / Brewery Ommegang
29 Jul 2012 / Essex Junction, VT / Midway Lawn at Champlain Valley Expo
Fuck. Wish I was going to this. So much regret right now. I see Blitzen Trapper is playing as well. Been wanting to catch those fellas forever. Enjoy it, you fortunate bastards. :'(
Does anybody know if the friday shows sell out?
From my past experience with 3 fests, everything that weekend sells out. There are so many people around and you can barely get into the bars at night, they are packed. If there is a show you want to go to get tix now, the three Deer Tick shows will be sure to sell out. The Wilco announcement makes this the Super Bowl of music for me and Jahmazed!

I grabbed tix for the Wilco show (of course...will only be my 11th show in 16 months).
NFF just announced two-day passes are sold out and there are only a handful of Saturday tix left. Zoiks!
Both Saturday and 2-day tix for Newport now sold out. Wow. I was just about to pull the trigger on this...
there goes my 21st birthday plans . :'(

Got my Wilco ticket.
Damn, I'm seeing all you people way too much this summer :) ;) :thumbsup:
ps--seeing Megafaun open for Drive-by Truckers next Sat, I'll let ya know!
I caught two newport acts, Honeyhoney and Gark Clark Jr., yesterday at Coachella and they were both great.
GC is one seriously bad ass guitar player, and also is quite a crooner when he wants to be.

Oh that must have been sweet! I can't wait to see GC! Too bad we are only doing Saturday :( I am hoping to catch him in June in AC. Coachella must be amazing!! Such a gorgeous setting :)

so awesome to be able to use the words roll call and wilco in the same sentence :D
I went to buy my 2-day pass today and they are sold out! Saturday too. If anyone hears of a 2-day pass or a Saturday ticket for sale, please let me know. Thanks.
At least I got a Wilco ticket in the presale so I'll be at that show for certain.
Enjoying my first of these...

Delicious...if people are looking for other ways to spend their time in Newport, the Newport Storm Brewery is a lot of fun...wonder if its open during Sunday Service hours before Joe Fletcher hits the stage.
GDI - I don't know why the hell I waited to buy tickets...looks like I'll be hitting the secondary market.
Goodness. $235 for a Saturday ticket? :'(

I think prices will come down. I keep repeating myself (sorry) but I got my ticket the week before last year and paid face value. People jump to buy tix but then accommodations fall through so have faith--there will be tix!
I bet this year the tickets are priced a bit higher however just do to how awesome the line up is. i would assume jackson browne tickets alone go for 150. moms love that stuff (so do i)

I am not one to condone scalping, and I know Penny your advice has been that tickets will come down and be available as we get closer.... but my 0.02 is that tickets are going to be very hard to come by and if you see something at a price you can live with, pull the trigger. I have seen a bunch of wanted posts on craigslist, the NFF Facebook, and I know a bunch of friends who are personally looking.
Some eBay scalping company had $1000 for (1) 2 day pass and $500 for (1) saturday.

Yeah, that's ridiculous and I wasn't suggesting that- I just meant if there are tix and even if they are a little over face, I would make sure I grab them and not get too cute. But, that's just my opinion (and no I don't have tix I'm trying to sell ;D)
Here are 2 Saturday tix... for $425. :-\ :-\

If you guys don't mind keeping another eye out for saturday tickets that'd be very helpful!
Not sure about festivals or specifically NFF, but quite often there are tickets released just before the show (or day of) for previously sold out shows on ticketmaster's website. But if I had to travel or knew I couldn't risk missing out, then I don't think I could take that chance.
I have a feeling people bought extras for friends and/or plenty of people's plans will fall thru and there will be extras for face value in July. It took a while to sell out. If tickets were sold out on the first day, then I think there would be more scalpers involved from day one until the show.
yeah, i too have faith in there being more tix available closer to date. there are often re-releases that were part of a ticket block for industry folks and such. the one's that don't get used up go back in the pool for a rerelease. be sure to follow NFF and such on twitter/fb what have you to stay up on things. i will of course keep my peepers peeped !!
Ever the optimist, I should however note a tweet from the folks at NFF:

As I said, I'm an optimist, though not so much when it comes to Ticketfucker.
Might I suggest we have a roll call in the ticket section for folks in need? My tix are spoken for, but others may have a change in plans and I would hope we'd think of forum peeps ahead of profit via eBay/Craigs List/etc.

I'm somewhat optimistic as well - I have a knack for getting into sold out/private shows. The price tag I'm seeing on the secondary market scares the crap outta me though. However I'm pretty fortunate that I don't have to make any travel plans for it and can jump on any last minute tix.
Blitzen Trapper opening for Wilco. Why I why I why did I skip this?
whoa-this will get you pumped-watch this! (thanks bold99)
Newport Folk Festival ~ 2011 (http://vimeo.com/40085200)

Does anyone know if there are anymore plans to add some more artist to the lineup? Or was the Friday night additions probably the last of the new artists?
ticket prices have gone down a bit on the secondary market. hope the trend continues :thumbsup:

Stick with StubHub and eBay, they have buyer guarantees, I once had a messed up ticket for a show from StubHub (had no barcode!) a quick visit to the service deck at Radio City and a quick phone call later, and I was in the venue enjoying the show!
