Nathaniel Rateliff performs solo, followed by Mavis Staples with her band, and some duo performances you don't want to miss. --- MAVIS STAPLES Sad and Beautiful World is the fifteenth solo album from Mavis Staples, an 86-year-old American music icon whose career spans more than seven decades. Produced by Brad Cook, the record blends original songs with reimagined classics, featuring collaborations with artists like Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy, and Hozier. Rooted in themes of resilience, hope, and compassion, the album reflects both personal and collective struggle, offering what Staples calls “love songs for tough times.” A civil rights-era voice and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Staples continues to channel her lived experience into music that feels urgent and timeless—proving she’s not just a witness to history, but still actively shaping it. NATHANIEL RATELIFF Raised in Hermann, Missouri, Nathaniel Rateliff began his music career playing drums in his family’s church band. Following a decade of performing mostly as a folk-inspired solo act, Rateliff formed the rock outfit Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Since their 2015 self-titled breakthrough album, the band has established themselves as generational talents through their dynamic live performances and growing catalog of essential studio recordings, including Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications. The band has appeared on Saturday Night Live, released four LPs, two EPs, and a live album. Their most recent, highly acclaimed LP South of Here was awarded Album of the Year at the 2025 Americana Honors & Awards; in support of the album, the band’s first arena tour included a landmark, sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. Rateliff is the first artist appointee to the Newport Folk Festival’s Stewardship program since Pete Seeger, and has chosen to devote his three-year term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond. Rateliff was also this year unanimously appointed to the Farm Aid board of directors, the third artist to be added to Farm Aid’s Board since its founding. Rateliff will work alongside founders Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp, fellow artist board members Dave Matthews and Margo Price and a team of industry professionals. --- TICKETS $49.50–$129.50 + fees MEMBER + ARTIST PRE-SALE: Wed, Apr 29, 10 am.
