"We're excited to announce that we'll be releasing general public tickets for both FOLK ON events at 11 AM ET on Tuesday, May 18," event organizers announced Tuesday.

"This year’s Newport Folk will be configured as two unique 3-Day events (instead of one) taking place July 23-25 and July 26-28," they continued. 

"We will only be offering 3-Day passes for each event at $230 plus fees," said event organizers. "Children are welcome, but we will not be selling children tickets this year. Children 2 and under are free."

Organizers said they are "working intimately with state and local government as well as health officials to ensure our events will set a benchmark for safety and transparency throughout our protocols and communication."
