Beale Street Music Festival delivered the artist lineup for their event set to take place at Tom Lee Park in downtown Memphis, Tenn., from May 5 through 7. In 2022 the event took place at Liberty Park in downtown Memphis; 2023’s upcoming gathering marks the event’s return to the riverfront scenery of Tom Lee Park, where it was last celebrated four years ago.
The lineup includes a wide array of rock, pop, alternative, R&B, hip-hop, indie, folk, reggae, country, jamband, and blues artists making for a unique and diverse lineup for this year’s iteration. Some of the headliners for the Beale Street Music Festival include The Lumineers, Greta Van Fleet, and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss. The festival will also feature nationally and locally touring acts like Earth Wind & Fire, Gary Clark Jr., Gov’t Mule, Ziggy Marley, Lucinda Williams, Living Colour, 311, AJR, Young The Giant, GloRilla, The Roots, and more, all of whom are sure to grace the ears of Beale Street Music Festival goers.
Beale Street Music Festival is part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival. The mission of Memphis in May International Festival is to promote and celebrate Memphis’ culture by organizing some of the city’s largest events. Memphis in May International Festival also produces extensive education, international, and economic programs for the city.
“There’s nothing like experiencing the Beale Street Music Festival in its home in Tom Lee Park next to the Mississippi River with the Memphis skyline and lighted bridges as the backdrop,” said Board Chairperson Leigh Shockey. “We are so pleased to return the festival to its long-term home downtown on the riverfront at the foot of historic Beale Street.”
Memphis in May has also announced Blues Stage on Beale, which will take place nearby at Handy Park, where the festival first began. The lineup for Blues Stage on Beale includes artists Los Lobos, Keb’ Mo,’ North Mississippi Allstars, Cedric Burnside, and more.
