This morning, Newport Folk Festival
organizers have revealed that Jack White will make his debut at the historic event on
Saturday, July 26. White joins a lineup that already Ryan Adams, Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples,
Nickel Creek, Band Of Horses, Jimmy Cliff and dozens of other acts.
Tickets to Newport Folk sold out weeks ago, but in reading producer Jay
Sweet's note about the addition of Jack White, it's clear Newport Folk organizers have
been trying to bring the Third Man Records label head to the event for quite some time. When
Sweet first came aboard to the Newport Folk team six years ago, he created a list of acts
that he felt needed to play the festival and Jack White was one of the last names left on
that list who hadn't played Fort Adams State Park yet. On July 26th that will finally
change.
Jack White is currently on tour in support of Lazaretto, which comes out tomorrow. He's set to appear on this evening's episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
