You are forking amazing! Editing my own post because this has to be If I had a Song lineup..... or maybe the TBA set.
Makes me think aftershow. But it doesn’t mention Mountain Man
Can Ian O’Neal play the final show at the Hiss aftershow and still make the Deer Tick show Saturday Night? The venues are pretty close to one another. Seems like it’s either the aftershow or the TBA
Technically, it doesn’t say that the Highwomen are headlining. It says that the Highwomen are making their live debut and that Carlisle is curating an all female headliner that she is calling the “Highwomen of Newport,” which I imagine is referring to the Saturday headliner.
That was my interpretation as well. Highwomen making their debut on Friday and Brandi curating the Saturday closer are separate things.
This was my take as well, I see now that my initial post was a little confusing. I just thought it was interesting that RS gave us the most concrete info on “the collaboration” yet, tho I guess it was sort of assumed that it would be women focused and include BC
#43 in line for Steal Your Folk #25 in line for Mavis aftershow
Hopefully this starts to drop more in the next week. I'm all set if these don't work out through Lyte but I really want to catch Steal your Folk. But seeing Deer Tick and Milk Carton Kids is absolutely not a bad plan B
I think this is the TBA set. Because the NFF Spotify has Jonathan Wilson and HGM on the list.
So assuming Phil would be part of that with HGM, that we be another set for him. I'm predicting either Phil or MC Taylor or perhaps both to win the Jim James award this year.
Upcoming Shows: August 7: Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins/Rancid/The Linda Lindas August 30: Waxahatchee/Snail Mail/Tim Heidecker September 17: Pearl Jam/Glen Hansard September 24: Idles/English Teacher

I think I am in the minority as I enjoyed the highwomens single. I think it is a brilliant release based on Brandi's idea that highwomen is a movement and not just a band. The dominance of bro-country during the first half of this decade was so toxic. Redesigning women is clearly a response to the tired trope of what it means to be a "country girl" in radio friendly country music.
Put me in the pro-“redesigning women” crew. Sure it ain’t subtle but Brandi rarely is. It’s a fun track, a solid mission statement and man it sounds great on nice speakers on a Sunday morning.

Ugh, too many half-conflicts for me right now.
Todd Snider/Highwomen is bad enough but that also overlaps most of Phil's set.
Tweedy/Mountain Main/North Hills/The Collaboration......damn. I just don't know what I'm going to do. Then you got Milk Carton Kids/Portugal the Man/If I had a song Sunday.
This lineup is so geared towards me but the conflicts of the big names at the end of each day are destroying me.
So, my acupuncturist goes to Newport every year and generally has great musical taste, but doesn't really pay attention to new artists and such, so I do an annual e-mail with some recommendations along with descriptions of the artists I'm familiar with, as she weighs options. This gives me the opportunity to spend a lot of time examining the lineup and make a few observations about it.
*I realize that in a limited-genre festival there are going to be conflicts aplenty, but you'd think they'd take care to avoid overlap between prominent acts whose fan-bases likely have considerable overlap. The partial set conflicts between The Highwomen/Sheryl Crow on Friday & Dawes/Jeff Tweedy on Saturday really mystify me. (If Jason Isbell joins Crow onstage, it'll be early. I can't imagine that he'd miss the first full set performance by The Highwomen, if he's in Newport.)
*Did Newport eliminate its radius clause, if they ever had one? It seems like every year, I see a few of my absolute favorites in the Newport lineup and they never play Boston that year. This year, though, I've already seen Jeff Tweedy, Hozier, and Dawes in Boston, with two more Hozier shows and two Wilco shows on my calendar (Yes, I know that Wilco and Jeff Tweedy aren't exactly the same act, but you get the idea). If this wasn't a radius clause issue to begin with, maybe booking agents finally figured out that the 10K Newport tickets that sell out post haste every year aren't going to impact Boston ticket sales by much. (For every ticket you don't sell because someone just saw an act at a festival, you probably sell another ticket to someone who got turned on to the artist at that same festival.) Out of the 7,000 Wang Theater tickets available for two November Hozier shows in Boston, there are only around 50 face value tickets left for one the shows, while the other is sold out (excluding "verified resale," of course. Scalpers gonna scalp.) This, after Boston Calling and Newport appearances.
*Don't sleep on early sets by Yola and Devon Gilfillian. Yola sounds, to me, like someone who'll have a justifiably very large audience in a couple of years, and Gilfillian's voice reminds me of Curtis Mayfield.
*I like Lake Street Dive well enough, but they charge way more for their headlining shows than you'd think a band of their prominence would charge. Their last few headlining shows in Boston have offered tickets a lot closer to $100 each than $50. So, if you like them and they're playing a festival you're attending, see them at a festival and save yourself some money.

Great points!
I especially don’t understand why they adjusted the schedule to make a 5 minute overlap between Sheryl and The HighWomen a 20 minute overlap. Makes me think one of the HighWomen has to hit the road after to get back to their solo tour.
Other schedule conflicts that are head scratchers: Trey Anastasio and Billy Strings. This one doesn’t get mentioned as much but scheduling jam’s prodigal son against an upcoming jamgrass phenom seems odd, especially when Newport historically books so little in these sub-genres. And then there’s Kevin Morby and Lucy Dacus who you can find on each other’s “Sounds Like” or “For Fans Of...” recommendations.
I doubt Newport has a radius clause given how little they pay artists and how quite a few artists do come back to Boston. I do wonder how smart radius clauses are for mid-tier bands for the exact reason you mention: a lot of fans can leverage their festival performance to play to newfound fans.
Lake Street Dive appeals to that target market that is used to dropping $75 to catch a Pentatonix show at their downtown theatre. Makes sense that they can charge a similar price as well.

I know people have been posting their homemade schedules, but I wanted to give a heads up that Newport posted a printable schedule on their website now. Food/craft vendors are up as well. It's almost time!
hey all - i have a room at the courtyard middletown for friday and saturday that i no longer need. before i cancel, is there anyone out there that would want it transferred to them? its at a descent rate all things considered. let me know!

Be careful - some of the times differ on this schedule when compared to that in the app. Specifically, the HighWomen’s starting time, which is 10 minutes earlier in the app.

I agree to be careful since it seems like they are making tweaks frequently, but as of now the times look consistent between both, at least on my version of the app

That’s strange. HighWomen is still showing up as a 5:25 start time on my app but a 5:35 start time on this printable schedule. Checked to make sure my app was updated, and it was.

I think that's what was on mine for a bit, but I noticed it was different this weekend. Also, I think they gave Lukas Nelson an extra 5 minutes. I didn't notice anything else

Anybody set up to just record the TuneIn stream all weekend? I saw some comments that made it sound like NPR may not be there to post archived sets after the festival, so TuneIn may be the best bet.

I'm by no means an expert on this, but I think radius clauses are typically on the bands side of things rather than Newports. Typically it's if they're playing another big fest in that area they can't announce other shows until after a certain date or after said big fest is sold out.
thoughts on whether this secretive and teased hiss/graham nash cover of "Songs for Beginners" would be the TBA set or part of his aftershow? hopefully its for the tba set, tho that is a lot of big names to squeeze on the harbor stage. either way, im listening to it in preparation and it is gorgeous.
Not to necessarily promote consumerism, because a pair of shorts and shirt is all you really need to enjoy Newport, but what are the best products that can make a trip to Newport more comfortable/enjoyable?
Have you found a favorite blanket? Cooler? Folding chair that can be easily packed in luggage? Portable fan? Poncho?
Just wondering if there’s anything I’m missing before it’s too late.

Money. You'll want to buy allll the things.
I knowwww. I already want a poster, the NFF Keens (I’ve been good though and already held off for a year), the Yeti NFF rambler (as someone who frequents the beach in 90+ degree weather, these things are lifesavers when it comes to a cold drink), and a T-shirt.
Any idea if you need to get tickets in advance for this? I'd love to catch the Aubrey Haddard set, she was actually one of my recommendations in the NFF Membership survey last year.

But I’ll probably limit myself to a poster.
Plus the vendors. I always end up with a couple of necklaces and other things I don't really need but are really cool and/or pretty. The price range difference is wild too, there are stalls that sell jewelry in the $5-$25 range, and others that are in the $50-$500 range. Something for everyone, truly.

Bandana or small towel. Constantly wiping sweat or soaking it in water and then cooling off with it. That and a hat help a lot.

I'll second a hat, and this is pretty obvious, but a reusable water bottle

Can we assume that those items that are marked as sold out on the website will be available at the festival, or does sold out really mean they will no longer be offered? If not, Is there anywhere else we can see what merchandise is going to be available at the festival?
