Newport Jazz Festival Tickets

Haven't been to NJF in a few years, but decided to attend this year to see Jamie Cullum close the festival. He did not disappoint! Awesome as ever. Heard another band Arturo Sandoval from Cuba for my first time....they too were incredible. Great new stage area inside of the Fort-Quad stage and Storyville offered a nice venue for the MIles Davis talk Think we may get general admission tix next time. The reserved seats are great-although more limited now. However, if it is HOT that day, you will bake in the sun. Will be nice to have shade tent, blanket and some chairs along the perimeter of Fort Adams-this will allow for listening to great music and enjoying a beautiful view. Isn't RI a wonderful place?

best show yet and I've been attending for many yrs.....a wonderful night

Each group or artist is limited to a one-hour set and has to compete with two other phenomenal acts performing at the same. Add the prestige of an invitation to perform at Newport and you are guaranteed to see at least a few career-best performances. If you crave harmonic and rhythmic complexity, this is the three best days of music on the planet. If your tastes are more Top 40, best to stay away.

Nothing better than to relax in the sun - or shade of a tent - and listen to outstanding jazz. There's a great variety of music, and something for everyone.

The Jazz Festival was amazing as always! There were so many fantastic musicians and the venue was excellent! Arturo Sandoval, Hiromi, and so many other amazing artists made each day incredible. If you have never experienced a jazz music festival before, this is definitely one of the best ones around!

Simple fantastic. I enjoyed every minute. The site was perfect because the cool wind was a great contrast to the hot summer sun,

We had a fantastic day - such an inspiring event! We were privileged to see and hear performances by superb duo pianists Michel Camilo and Hiromi Uehara, the legendary Dr. John and The Nite Trippers, sublime Fred Hirsch Trio, and the always exciting Arturo Sandoval and his Band. We paid for reserved seats at the main performance venue - well worth the extra money. Newport Bay is such a lovely setting, with a nice breeze, friendly crowd, lots of food, arts and crafts, and free water refills. Fort Adams Park provides useful facilities, and we were able to take shuttle buses back and forth from the parking lots.

This event was awesome! The performers were amazing, the weather was picture-perfect and the people were warm and friendly. This is my third year attending the NJF and it shall remain permanently on my calendar each year!

FABULOUS! Well organized and all the music was great! Hope to see u next year

A magical night with Chris Botti performing in the most amazing setting at the Tennis Hall of Fame.

Incredible Great musicians Sound system was wonderful Full moon and perfect temperature made it even a better night to be there

The Best all around concert/Festival I have ever attended. It will be an annual event for me henceforth.

10th year of attending fest and it was the best ever. Chris Botti and Snarky Puppy on Friday Great acts on Sat & Sunday Hiromi, Jon Baptisite, Dr,John, Arturo Sandoval Well worth it and Newport the town is the best town who know how to entertain you! Great Great time!!!

We had perfect weather - beautiful, sunny, blue sky for the entire weekend. There were plenty of food trucks or food stations to grab a snack or lunch. This was our first time at the festival. Wished we had done it sooner. Didn't bring a cooler box but should have. Still we were fine with Ice coffee stations in the park and lemon slushy to keep us cool and hydrated. Best deal for anyone loving jazz music. You pay one entrance fee but are able to see and listen to more than one musician or band playing within that day. There was Cassandra Wilson, Cecile McLorin Salvant and Arturo Sandoval to name a few really great performances. It was an amazing weekend and the lobster roll was amazing.

We attended the Sunday show on the main stage, and it was fantastic! Arturo asandoval was a real treat, and it was the first time I heard Jamie Cullum, and he was fantastic with the Rhode Island Big Band Orchestra! Great times, great weather! But I do wish more vendors would return.

Gorgeous day and Jamie put on a great show. He played with the URI big band which made it even more special, has a hometown feel. He started early and played late. Played some old songs we love and some new ones, which kept it fresh. Overall, one of the best Jamie Cullum concerts we've seen!

Went to the Sunday show and it was remarkable. Every act was terrific. But on the main stage for some reason that I'll never get they chose to end the day with some punk rocker only a teeny bopper could love. What a bad end to a otherwise great show.

Just amazing day of continuous music. 4 stages of great music on simultaneously with a wide range of jazz genres: straight ahead, fusion, electronica/urban jazz, vocal jazz, pop-jazz - something for everyone. 1st time for me but now will be yearly pilgrimage.

Great Fest, as usual. Great weather. The people were all of the same mind - chill & groove! Logistics were perfect. I had to pinch myself a few times to make sure I wasn't actually in heaven. Thanks George & company! I'll be back!

I attended Saturday's event, and the lineup was phenomenal! It was definitely the best Newport Jazz Festival I've attended. Jose James and Lisa Fischer were among my favorites- I hope to see them at future events!
