Newport Folk Festival 2012: July 28 & July 29

[TheThird]

Has anyone heard anything about M. Ward possibly stopping by for a collaboration of some sorts? Maybe a Monsters of Folk reunion?

"He said M Ward couldn't officially be at the fest but he's about 99% sure he is flying in and coming to sit in...and that means a possible MOF reunion during Conors set.   He said M had a blast last year and loved the fest and def wants to be back but there were a few stipulations about acts who played last year playing again...at least the bigger ones."

That came from another thread.  Looking good!!

I've been going to the Newport Folk Fest off and on for 20 years.

This is hands-down the BEST lineup ever!!  Wilco at the fort on a Friday night before the fun starts on Sat & Sunday.    Wow, this one is really gonna be special.

Will need a vacation when it is over.

Do you know when the schedule typically comes out?  So many acts I want to see, I'm dreading the inevitable overlap.

Yeah, the conflicts are going to be painful.   You are only going to be able to see 1/3 of the show and I want to see most of them.

the quote below is from me and I heard that directly from the the guy who puts Folk Fest together...the producer of the fest.  I think there is a good chance considering how much M Ward loved the fest last year (he was there even the day he didn't play).   Just depends on his schedule I guess.

BTW the Wilco show is with Blitzen Trapper and Megafaun also....insane.

Well, he returns from Europe at the end of June and has no shows scheduled in July, so...

got my tix for the Wilco show Friday night in Newport.  What a weekend this will be.

Can't believe I will get to see Wilco & MMJ on back to back nights TWICE  this summer.

Life is good.

So jealous.  Why, why, why can't something like this be on the left coast?!?!  >:(

I've been listening to Blind Pilot these days, and they sound great.  Looking forward to finding out who is going to be playing when.
