RiverBeat releases daily lineup; Jelly Roll to close new Memphis music festival
Details and schedules for the inaugural RiverBeat Music Festival are firming up.
On Wednesday, event promoters Mempho Presents confirmed the daily artist lineup for RiverBeat, which will take place May 3-5 at Tom Lee Park in Downtown Memphis.
The festival’s three nights will be headlined by electronic music combo Odesza (May 3), reunited hip-hop group the Fugees (May 4) and country hitmaker Jelly Roll (May 5).
RiverBeat is replacing the long-running Beale Street Music Festival, which was paused by Memphis in May last fall following years of financial losses and dwindling attendance.
Earlier this month, RiverBeat confirmed the lineup for its first festival. In addition to the headliners, the roster of acts will include Tennessee rockers The Band Camino, Philadelphia indie outfit Mt. Joy, Austin soul band Black Pumas, New York electro duo Matt and Kim, irreverent rapper Yung Gravy, Alabama singer-songwriter Jessie Murph, roots combo the Robert Randolph Band and Blues Hall of Famer Charlie Musselwhite.
A range of top hip-hop artists including Outkast’s Big Boi, recent triple-Grammy winner Killer Mike, rising star Tobe Nwigwe and hometown heroes 8Ball & MJG are also among those set to perform.
While festival passes went on sale earlier in March, single-day tickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 a.m. Thursday. Single-day general admission tickets are $99, while VIP tickets $395. Additionally, daily premium parking passes will be available for $40.
