The first lineup announcement for this year’s Newport Folk Festival is a big one. Fleet Foxes will return to play the historic event, which is the band’s first confirmed U.S. performance since 2011.
The 2017 installment of Newport Folk will take place at gorgeous Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island between July 28 and 30. Fleet Foxes are set to perform on Friday, July 28. There’s still no definitive word on the release of the band’s first LP since 2011’s Helplessness Blues though frontman Robin Pecknold has teased it and shared a few details in recent weeks.
Fleet Foxes’ return to Newport is the only U.S. date for now joining a handful of European festival appearances. Friday tickets for Newport Folk are currently available here.
