Newport Jazz Festival will include Janelle Monae, the Roots, Jacob Collier, Raye, Willow, Jorja Smith, Esperanza Spalding and De La Soul.

Janelle Monáe, RAYE and The Roots are all headed to Rhode Island this summer, with the musicians set to join dozens of other acts in holding down the 2025 Newport Jazz Festival taking place in the first few days of August.

The Newport Jazz Festival returns for 2025 with a lineup headlined by Janelle Monáe, The Roots, and Jacob Collier. The long-running festival (71 years!) will come home to Fort Adams State Park in Rhode Island on August 1-3 with a diverse array of musical genres that have spun off from the titular style, including R&B/soul, pop, and hip-hop.
