Tickets for the 2012 Newport Folk Festival On Sale Now

The Newport Festivals Foundation has announced the lineup for the 2012 Newport Folk Festival, scheduled for July 28-29 at beautiful Fort Adams State Park.  Tickets are on sale now at www.newportfolkfest.net.


Jackson Browne headlines the Festival this year and he'll play his songs that feature his always poignant and relative lyrics and melodic music.    Tom Morello, great guitarist of both Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, will be another highlight.  A complete list of performers follows this story.


In recent years, the festival has introduced a number of burgeoning stars to the national consciousness while luring established favorites to Newport because of the special place the Newport Folk Festival holds in history.  


Since 1959, the Festival has featured the best of blues, roots, gospel, country, bluegrass, Cajun and traditional folk music.  


Two-day passes are available for $135 while single adult tickets are $74.  Children's tickets for ages 3-15 are $15 per day with children under 3 admitted free.  Parking passes are also available on the website for $12.
