A new music festival<\/a> is coming to Rhode Island<\/a> this summer and it will welcome some big names to the Ocean State.<\/p>\n Throughout the weekend of August 15-16, the Island Rhodes Festival, a two-day festival at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket<\/a>, will “transform the state-of-the-art waterfront venue into a vibrant celebration of live music, culture, and coastal energy.”<\/p>\n Featured acts include The Roots, Sublime,\u00a0Slightly Stoopid and Rebelution.<\/p>\n \u201cNew England has always supported this music at a high level,\u201d said Grand Rising Curations founder Dave Niedbalski.<\/p>\n \u201cCentreville Bank Stadium gave us a unique opportunity, especially with its riverfront setting and built-in premium experiences, to create something the market is craving and that feels connected to the community,\u201d Niedbalski said.<\/p>\n Rhode Island is no stranger to music festivals. The annual sellouts of the\u00a0Newport Folk<\/a> and Jazz Festivals<\/a>\u00a0are certainly impressive.<\/p>\n \u201cBringing Island Rhodes Festival to Centreville Bank Stadium as our first-ever music event is a defining milestone in the story of our venue and for Rhode Island,\u201d said Centreville Bank Stadium General Manager Paul Byrne.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the start, our vision has been to create a world-class destination for live sports and entertainment in the Ocean State and launching with a festival of this scale sets an exciting tone for everything we are building here moving forward,” Byrne said.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\nA New Festival Comes to Rhode Island<\/h3>\n
