2. A KILLER Newport Folk Festival.
That's right. The same festival where Dylan first went electric will enjoy its 50th anniversary this year. Heading the line-up is:
Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, who both played at the inaugural folk festival way back in 1959. Seeger famously stalked around looking for an ax to cut the electrical chords when Dylan started playing "Maggie's Farm" in 1965.
Other acts include:
Arlo Guthrie
Fleet Foxes
Neko Case
Campbell Brothers
The Avett Brothers
Josh Ritter
Gillian Welch
Iron & Wine
Tao Rodriguez Seeger
Tim Eriksen & Shape Note Singers
Langhorne Slim
Ben Kweller
