Tempe is gearing up for a music and baseball-filled weekend as the Innings Festival 2025 prepares to open its gates at Tempe Beach Park this February 21 and 22, according to the Phoenix New Times. With a lineup boasting big names such as Fall Out Boy, The Killers, and Incubus, the event, coinciding with Spring Training, promises a mashup of rock legends and baseball greats. But for those who think one weekend of festivities isn't enough, the organizers have an encore in store with a second weekend, "Extra Innings," scheduled for February 28 and March 1, as stated by the AZ Family.
While the Innings Festival itself is enough to draw crowds, the "Extra Innings" lineup isn't letting up, featuring The Lumineers, Kacey Musgraves, and Kings of Leon the following weekend. This musical expansion offers nearly 20 rock, pop, and indie artists spread across three stages. As reported by the Phoenix New Times, the festival also includes baseball-inspired activities and appearances from MLB legends like Junior Spivey and Evan Longoria.
In terms of logistics, doors for the event will open at noon every day. The bustling festival has laid out a detailed schedule for set times with acts like Neon Trees and Gary Clark Jr. slated to perform on separate days. Also featured will be "Off The Mound," a talk show segment that adds a unique interactive component to the festival, mixing baseball anecdotes and stories with the rock ambiance. For MLB fans, legends such as Ben Zobrist and Chili Davis will be present at various interactive stages throughout the events, as noted by the Phoenix New Times.
Getting to and from Tempe Beach Park should be a breeze, with various options including the Valley Metro Rail and dedicated rideshare pick-up and drop-off locations. "Attendees are encouraged to use public transportation when going to and from the festival," as per a report by the AZ Family. Keeping up with the digital trend, the event is entirely cashless, with vendors accepting credit cards, debit cards, and mobile payments only. Details on bag policies and the festival's all-ages admission policy can be found through their respective official websites.
Those eyeing a chance to join in on the excitement should grab their tickets soon, with prices ranging from one-day general admission to two-day VIP cabana packages. Tickets for Innings Festival and Extra Innings can be purchased through the event's official ticketing portals. Finally, the festival allows for re-entry until 7 p.m. provided attendees have their wristbands scanned upon exit. Make sure those wristbands stay on your wrists, as they're your key to getting back into the heat of the action.
