Jason Newsted & The Chophouse Band

Jason Newsted, the legendary bassist from Metallica and six-time Grammy winner, is bringing The Chophouse Band to Newport for a live rock performance. This marks the band's first-ever summer tour since its creation. Expect a musical blend that weaves together rock, country, bluegrass, and metal—what Newsted calls his own take on the American Songbook. The show features Newsted as vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, delivering the same intensity and raw energy he's known for after decades performing in arenas and studios worldwide. Tickets start at $43.63, and this is a standing-room-only event open to all ages. Doors open an hour before showtime, so plan to arrive early. The Chophouse Band draws from Newsted's deep musical roots and collaborations spanning four decades, making this a unique opportunity to experience a rock legend in an intimate venue setting.
