Last week, the Newport Folk Festival continued rolling out its lineup for its 2025 event, announcing Bonny Light Horseman, Ken Pomeroy, Saya Gray, and Hannah Cohen.

Set for July 25-27, the festival has already sold out but continues to reveal its performer list, with more names expected in the weeks ahead.

So far, Friday’s schedule includes Hannah Cohen, Jessica Pratt, Kevin Morby, MJ Lenderman, Kim Deal, Alex G, and The Deslondes.

Bonny Light Horseman, Ken Pomeroy, Saya Gray, Dan Reeder, Illiterate Light, Iron & Wine, I’m With Her, Mon Rovîa, Jesse Welles, Julien Baker & Torres, and Waxahatchee are already lined up for Saturday.

Sammy Rae & Friends, Stephen Wilson Jr., Hurray For The Riff Raff, Michael Kiwanuka, BCUC, Mt. Joy, and Jeff Tweedy are scheduled to perform on Sunday.

General admission tickets vanished within minutes on Feb. 5, even before any artists were announced.

The Newport Festivals Foundation is awarding grants on behalf of the announced performers.
