- Rolling Stone is launching Stateside, its first-ever music and culture festival, on July 4 at Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, New York, celebrating the "timeless spirit of Americana" with food, art, and culture.
- Noah Kahan will headline the event, with supporting acts including Gigi Perez, Sydney Rose, Arcy Drive, Bo Staloch, Devon Gilfillian, Derby, Calder Allen, and Michaela Anne.
- Stateside is capping capacity at just under 4,000 attendees for an "intimate experience," and the night will close with a fireworks show after Kahan's set.
- VIP and Platinum tickets come with dedicated entry, premium viewing, and air-conditioned restrooms, while limited weekend packages add luxury riverfront accommodations, dining, entertainment, and wellness experiences.
- Boston Beer Company, Scout Motors, and Hertz are event partners — Dogfish Head is developing a product launch, Scout Motors will host "Tailgate Sessions," and Hertz offers perks for rental car travelers.
- General admission and VIP tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. ET Thursday via the festival's website.
Why it matters: Rolling Stone is moving from editorial coverage to live event production with Stateside, a July 4 festival deliberately capped at under 4,000 attendees for an "intimate experience." The Americana framing and Hudson Valley venue target the magazine's own readership, while corporate partners Scout Motors, Boston Beer Company, and Hertz signal that Rolling Stone is building a sponsor-backed, premium event brand rather than a scrappy indie festival.
