This summer the Newport Jazz Festival will return to Fort Adams State Park in Rhode Island for the iconic cultural institution’s 71st edition. One of the longest running and most storied festivals in America will return August 1st – 3rd where it will continue to host once in a lifetime performances that only Newport’s unique alchemy of intimacy and artistic community can bring. Fans and artists alike return each year to this hallowed ground to experience the joy of this Festival’s long running tradition of diversity, discovery and artistic virtuosity. Newport Jazz Festival is produced by the Newport Festival Foundation in collaboration with Newport Jazz Artistic Director Christian McBride.
Today, this year’s remarkable line up has been unveiled and will highlight a slate of boundary-pushing, genre-defying, multi-hyphenate, award-winning artists like JANELLE MONÁE, THE ROOTS and JACOB COLLIER. British vocalists RAYE and JORJA SMITH will make their Newport Jazz debuts. The festival will also enjoy appearances from some of the jazz world’s greatest talents including ESPERANZA SPALDING, DIANNE REEVES AND THE YUSSEF DAYES EXPERIENCE. PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND, THEE SACRED SOULS, DE LA SOUL and LA LOM will bring their unmistakable, classic sounds to the festival and SOFI TUKKER and WILLOW will bring their groundbreaking and diverse artistry to life at The Fort.
