Just saw in another board that Noah and Foo are headlining Sound on Sound.
If that’s accurate, then I doubt we get Noah. I remember someone in here saying that they blocked Stevie one year.
About time they announced something for that fest. Pretty sure Noah is NOT playing Newport this summer. Just from a few things I've heard.
This is great news. A while back you posted about a “special announcement of sorts” and then had to hold off on the announcement. Is that still happening whatever it was? I was curious if it was an aftershow on Sunday

Yes -- I can't announce the details until the after shows are revealed.
Can you say if it’s “official” or thrown by people in the group, and whether or not it’s Sunday
Wait does Craigie talk MORE than Langhorne? A Langhorne solo show is at least 50% talking and it’s glorious
I'd say much more, even.
Listen to a Craigie live album on spotify start to finish. He has like, long form jokes that he tells throughout the set. It's entertaining, I enjoy it. But it's a lot of talking.
Did anyone else go to the Craigie/Slim show in Westerly last year? Was fun.
Looks like we’re down to just 2 artists left for Saturday.
Overall, it’s a little weak for my tastes (just ever so slightly), but I guess I should reserve judgement until it fills up. With proper scheduling, it’ll be a good day for me regardless: War on Drugs, Dave and Gillian, Josiah, Killer Mike, and Orville are all must sees. Reyna, Bertha, Samm, Chaparelle, Craigie and Slim, Hermanos, and Bragg could be enjoyable. Poor scheduling and I could see myself coming in late or going to the beer pier for like the first time ever while listening to some of the “could be enjoyable” acts from a little further out.

I'd be pretty surprised if Gil and Dave aren't on the Fort, unless they're also a big part of a revue HL set. It's their first show in like 6 years and the only show announced so far and they're Newport royalty

It’s possible. Although I wrote off that same Relix article when they messed this up:
“Other major acts from recent years include The National, The Roots, Alison Russell, Randy Newman, Dinosaur Jr. and Brandi Williams & Friends, which featured Joni Mitchell’s surprise return to the stage after nearly two decades away.”

Haha. I just tried to make a mock and started laughing.
War on Drugs, Elle King, Welch & Rawlings, Orville, Joan Baez poetry, Killer Mike, Billy Bragg.
Who knows
My mock for that day so far is:
FORT: TBD > Elle King > Rhiannon Giddens > Gillian Welch and David Rawlings > The War on Drugs > TBD QUAD: BERTHA > Josiah > Hermanos Gutierrez > Orville Peck > Killer Mike > Joan Baez HARBOR: Reyna Tropical > Chaparelle > Samm Henshaw > Tre Burt > Craigie & Slim > Billy Bragg
I could see Newport relegating The War on Drugs to the Quad as the Quad closer since they’re louder (and more niche) and have Dave and Gillian close out the Fort stage. Not that I’d enjoy that, but it’s within the realm of possibility.
Like I said yesterday there’s a lot of precedent for a band like WOD to close the quad, but if they do I really hope it wouldn’t be against Gil and Dave, that would be a sound bleed disaster.
FORT: TBD > Elle King > Rhiannon Giddens > Gillian Welch and David Rawlings > The War on Drugs > TBD QUAD: BERTHA > Josiah > Hermanos Gutierrez > Orville Peck > Killer Mike > Joan Baez HARBOR: Reyna Tropical > Chaparelle > Samm Henshaw > Tre Burt > Craigie & Slim > Billy Bragg
Pending the headliner, there's already a lot to like this day. TWOD absolutely rules, Killer Mike is a really cool booking, and beyond those "top 2" I like Orville, Herm Guti, Billy Bragg, and Craigie & Slim... I'm honestly not sure if there was any single day over the last 2 years where I liked 6+ artists before doing any listening/research.
The problem, of course, is that the schedule will look a lot like this mock and I'd (theoretically if i had tickets) have to pick 3-4 of them and skip 2-3.
Looks like Swamp Dogg has a Bluegrass album coming out.
Produced by Ryan Olson (Bon Iver, Poliça) and recorded with an all-star band including Noam Pikelny, Sierra Hull, Jerry Douglas, Chris Scruggs, Billy Contreras, and Kenny Vaughan, the collection is a riotous blend of past and present, mixing the sacred and the profane in typical Swamp Dogg fashion as it blurs the lines between folk, roots, country, blues, and soul. The tracklist is an eclectic one—brand new originals and vintage Swamp Dogg classics sit side by side with reimaginings of ’70s R&B hits and timeless ’50s pop tunes—but the performances here are thoroughly cohesive, filtering everything through a progressive Appalachian lens that nods to tradition without ever being bound by it. Special guests like Margo Price, Vernon Reid, Jenny Lewis, Justin Vernon, and The Cactus Blossoms all add to the excitement, but it’s ultimately the 81-year-old Swamp Dogg’s delivery—sly and playful and full of genuine joy and ache—that steals the show. The result is a record that’s as reverent as it is raunchy, a collection that challenges conventional notions of genre and race while at the same time celebrating the music that helped make Swamp Dogg the beloved iconoclast he’s known as today.
Been lurking for a while, but finally decided to jump into the fray. Needless to say, I've been extremely disappointed with the roll-out this year, particularly since this is the first time I've shelled out for Gulls & Stars, but the Tre Burt announcement today has me dreaming of a Swamp Dogg appearance. As Beaker pointed out, he has a bluegrass album coming out at the end of the month, and he's been touring with members of his new label (John Prine's Oh Boy Records) recently, including Tre Burt. Probably wishful thinking, but the chance to see a legend like Swamp Dogg at Fort Adams would make it all worthwhile for this folker.
