Roling Stone Music Fesitval With Noah Kahan In Kingston

Yes, OUR Kingston. I can't believe it either.

I had to scroll through multiple posts and start digging around to make sure that I wasn't seeing things. A brand new music festival launched by Rolling Stone (yes, THAT Rolling Stone) to be held in Ulster County, and the headliner just so happens to be a singer who recently announced a massive stadium tour that sold out several dates/venues and had people sitting in ticket queues with hundreds of thousands for hours.

Tell Us More About Stateside!

Here's what we know, Rolling Stone was doing a great job teasing something big, and very big for the Hudson Valley. Now it's official, they've announced a brand new music festival 'boutique event' called Stateside, a Fourth of July On The Hudson, to be held at at Hutton Brickyards, featuring Noah Kahan as headliner.

Other artists include Gigi Perez, Sydney Rose, Arcy Drive, Bo Staloch and Bebe Stockwell.

Organizers have shared that Saturday's 'main festival experience' will feature not only music, but local food, artisan vendors, and a fireworks show finale with extended weekend programming and on-property stays available for VIP ticket holders.

The festival, Rolling Stone magazine's first ever, will start on Saturday the 4th with gates at 1pm, and fireworks concluding the day's events around 11pm.

There's a variety of ticket options from GA to VIP and even on-property 'weekend experience' options with regular on-sale set for Thursday 4/30 at 10am. The venue, Kingston's Hutton Brickyards will hold only 4,000 for the event.

A portion of each ticket will go towards a nonprofit launched by Noah Kahan called BusyHead Project, an initiative which aims to end the stigma around mental health and improve access to resources.

Noah Kahan's The Great Divide Tour

Noah Kahan announced his The Great Divide tour earlier this year, and eager fans hopped into pre-sale queues as quickly as possible, some coming up successful while others, not so much.

Many of the shows sold out pretty quickly, including a three-day run at Fenway Park and two nights at Citi Field. Now that Noah will be visiting the Hudson Valley during his summer tour travels, we have an extra chance to see him live, and essentially in our backyard.
