The Top Music Festivals to Attend in North America this Summer
| May 30, 2018
Newport Folk Festival
One of the oldest continuously running festivals in the world is the Newport Folk Festival, which takes place every July in Newport, Rhode Island. Over its 58-year run, festivalgoers have watched music history being made on the festival’s stages, including Bob Dylan playing his first electric set, the launch of Kris Kristofferson’s career, and the reunion of the new acoustic Pixies.
The festival regularly sells out their tickets before the lineup is even announced, and there are always surprise guests who show up to play a few songs unannounced. This year, the dates are July 27-29, and although the full lineup hasn’t been finalized, acts like Brandi Carlile, Courtney Barnett, and Glen Hansard are already confirmed.
