Damn, does that Tallest Man on Earth show in May affect his chance of playing Newport?

Courtney Barnett is also playing Boston in May (presented by Newport, no less), so I think he'll still be there

Excellent! He is one of those acts I'd see play a festival, but not pay for a headlining show. Liked him when I did see him, but I wasn't too hot on his last album.

She's playing Pitchfork, it would be great if she played Newport after!

Has Todd really never played before? He seems such an obvious choice, and has been for twenty years. I wonder why.

PS. His book is amazing too if you haven't read it yet. Dude is a hell of a storyteller.

He hasn't been on the lineups since I started to really follow this festival but not sure if he was invited to earlier ones.

He'd be absolutely perfect for the smaller stages at NFF. He's hilarious and I've never been to a bad show of his. I really need to buy his book, too.

Seeing him again in NYC at the end of March. Can't wait.

Mumford and Sons have teased an announcement for Monday. In the teaser video they are playing electric instruments! This is looking too perfect right now...

50 years since Dylan played electric at Newport this year.

Probably just an album and tour that focuses more on electric guitar and stuff.

I am excited to see them trying something new, though. I remember reading in Rolling Stone that Marcus was playing around with electric instruments.
