With the announcement of this year’s Newport Folk Festival line-up on the horizon, we want to know: who would you most like to see return to the stage at Fort Adams?
There are too many to name them all, but we’ve put together a list of some of the best acts over the years to earn your votes.
Some acts have broken up, or are no longer with us, but we can dream, right?
The line-up for this year’s Newport Folk Festival will be announced tonight (technically tomorrow, March 1) at midnight.
Even without a line-up, early bird tickets sold out in less than an hour earlier this month.
Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris and the Decemberists headlined last year’s show.
This year’s festival is scheduled for July 28 and 29 at Fort Adams.

They can raise the dead (Johnny Cash died about 10 years ago)? I wouldn't mind seeing my grandparents again.

Bob Dylan could sign the new song(streets of Newport)
Streets in Newport are shabby and poor
they never fix them at all
be careful when you walk out your front door
streets of Newport,will make you fall
Drive your car on Spring Street
a bumpy ride for sure
your mechanic you will meet
for an aligment cure
Broadway and Thames are the same
like a roller coaster ride
come on newport,stop the game
fix the roads,have some pride;

I would like to see Eric Faulkner at the Newport Folk Festival! Eric used to be with the 70's band, The Bay City Rollers, but now plays acoustic/folk music in the UK. He is a very multi-talented musician. I think people would be pleasantly surprised at Eric's music as it's quite different from his Bay City Roller days!
