Tickets to the Newport Folk Fest typically sell out in minutes. Minutes! (And to think George Wein, grand master of folk, almost sold the biz in 2008.) With this year marking the cultural institution’s sixty-sixth anniversary, it’s safe to say this year will likely be no different. The dates for 2025 are Friday, July 25 through Sunday, July 27. No, we don’t know who’s playing the Fort. But does it matter? Last year was awesome, featuring the likes of Hozier, the ohe Hellos and Conan O’Brien — just take a look at our coverage of the jam-packed festival’s highlights here. The Folk Fest committee promises once again to host “once in a lifetime performances that only Newport’s unique alchemy of intimacy and artistic community can bring.”
