Fans at Newport were treated to a vibrant performance by Angélique Kidjo. She wandered through the sun-drenched audience, inviting them to join her in song, and eventually inviting a handful of women and girls to join her on stage to dance. Backing Kidjo were Stephane Castry, bass; Thierry Vaton, keyboards; Latabi Diouani, percussion; and Rubens de la Corte, guitar.
