festival experience
Stateside is Rolling Stone's first-ever festival set over the Fourth of July in Kingston, NY.
Saturday's main event channels the timeless spirit of Americana — hot dogs, fireworks, local food vendors, an artisan market, guitars, and great days under the summer sun.
Fresh off the release of his fourth studio album, "The Great Divide," Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Noah Kahan headlines the festival with nine other rising voices across indie, folk, country, and more performing all-day across two stages.
All this overlooks the picturesque backdrop of the Hudson River at Hutton Brickyards, a historic site that once supplied bricks for American landmarks like the Empire State Building.
Saturday's event is open to all, but for those looking for a premium weekend experience, check out our VIP and Platinum packages that unlock luxurious on-property stays at Hutton Brickyards along with exclusive programming moments the evening of Friday, July 3rd.
