That helps explain why many were so excited when Joni Mitchell gave a surprising performance in July at the Newport Folk Festival. Now, according to fellow singer Brandi Carlile, the legendary artist will once again take to the stage. “After Newport, Joni said ‘I want to do another show.’ She said ‘I want to play again,’” Carlile told “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah. “No one’s been able to buy a ticket to see Joni Mitchell play in 20 years,” she continued. She and Carlile are close friends, with Mitchell introducing her at the annual Grammy Awards earlier this year.
