Once again, the Newport Jazz Festival exceeded all expectations.
The annual three-day extravaganza recruited some of the biggest names in music — including a few that don’t typically fall under the jazz genre — to jam out over the long weekend.
André 3000, Elvis Costello, Nile Rodgers and Chic, Brittany Howard of The Alabama Shakes and Samara Joy are just a few of the icons dropping into Newport, RI’s Fort Adams State Park on Aug. 2-4.
They’ll be joined by Kamasi Washington, Laufey, Robert Glasper, Cory Wong and Thievery Corporation.
All in all, 47 acts are scheduled to take the stage from Friday through Sunday.
And if you want to join them, general admission passes can be picked up as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Dice until Wednesday, April 10, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
