The RiverBeat Music Festival will take place from May 2-4 at Tom Lee Park. Headliners include Missy Elliott, The Killers, and Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals. The festival, now in its second year, replaces the Beale Street Music Festival, as reported by Action News 5.
According to Local Memphis, rap veteran Ludacris and the politically charged group Public Enemy are among the acts performing at the Memphis music festival. Early bird tickets have been available since January, and standard ticket prices will increase on April 18. The full lineup has been released, attracting festival-goers for this summer's event.
RiverBeat Music Festival will feature live music, local food vendors, and a philanthropic auction in collaboration with Positive Legacy. "Orion Financial is proud to sponsor the Main Stage at RiverBeat Music Festival! There's nothing like the energy of Memphis coming together in Tom Lee Park to celebrate the music that moves us and reflect on how deeply music has shaped our city's soul over the years," said Ashley McDurmon, Orion Financial CEO. The festival will include food from vendors such as Corky's BBQ and Gus's Fried Chicken, and "The festival brings together a dynamic mix of local food vendors, live performances, and community spirit," according to Jeff Bransford, Producer, Mempho Presents. Organizers are also improving security and accessibility, with new entrances and a cashless payment system linked to wristbands, as mentioned by PR Newswire.
