Newport Jazz Festival Announces Lineup Featuring André 3000

This summer, the Newport Jazz Festival (tickets & info here) will return to Fort Adams State Park in Rhode Island to celebrate a major milestone – the iconic cultural institution’s 70th Anniversary. One of the longest-running and most storied festivals in America will return August 2-4, 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 return each year to this hallowed ground to experience the joy of this Festival’s long-running tradition of diversity, discovery and artistic virtuosity. The Newport Festival Foundation produces the Newport Jazz Festival in collaboration with Newport Jazz Artistic Director Christian McBride.

Today, this year’s remarkable lineup has been unveiled. It will feature several legendary artists, including Sun Ra Arkestra, Elvis Costello, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Bill Frisell, Stanley Clarke and Galactic with icon Irma Thomas. Amazing young jazz vocalist Laufey will make her return to the festival, and André 3000, spoken word artist Aja Monet and Brittany Howard will all perform on Jazz Weekend for the first time. Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper and Kamasi Washington will each play their own set in their collaborative project – Dinner Party. Other all-star ensembles include Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, Terri Lyne Carrington and Ravi Coltrane, honouring the legacy of Wayne Shorter and Newport Jazz Artistic Director Christian McBride will assemble an all-star cast for his annual Jam Jawn.
