Concert Venue · Newport, RI
Newport Folk Festival is the most historically significant music festival in America — the 1959-founded Rhode Island summer event where Bob Dylan went electric in 1965 (the most controversial moment in rock history), where Joan Baez and Pete Seeger launched the American folk revival, and where the greatest acoustic musicians continue to gather each July at Fort Adams. The festival's extraordinary historical significance, its waterfront setting, and its continued ability to attract the most important folk, roots, and singer-songwriter artists in the world make it the most culturally resonant music festival in the United States.
