The Newport Folk Festival kicks off in just two short days with a fantastic triple-bill that leads into Saturday and Sunday’s full slate of performances. There’s so many of our favorite acts playing the fest and Jeff detailed six of them in his preview yesterday. For those of us who can’t make it out to Newport, NPR will webcast over 25 sets from Fort Adams Park.

The full schedule for NPR’s webcast has just been posted and we’re overjoyed to see many sets from HT faves will be broadcast. On Friday, sets from all three acts participating in the dream triple-bill of Wilco, Blitzen Trapper and Megafaun will be webcast. Then, on Saturday, My Morning Jacket, Dawes, Alabama Shakes and Deer Tick are just a few of the sets that will be broadcast. Finally, on Sunday, Jackson Browne, Conor Oberst, Trampled By Turtles and The Head and The Heart lead another full day of broadcasts live from Newport.
