It's year three for RiverBeat Music Festival! If you didn't make it last year, the vibes were electric and we have no doubt this year will be no different. Lord Huron, Salt-N-Pepa, Ice Cube, Marshmello, T-Pain, St. Vincent and more round out the lineup.
Here's the full lineup for the this year's RiverBeat Music Festival and the 3-day schedule.
2026 Riverbeat Lineup
There we have it! A lot of great names and rare legacy performances that will take the stages at RiverBeat Music Festival. Who else can't wait to catch some of these acts from the ferris wheel?
During the three days, two-time Grammy Award winner Boo Mitchell brings back his a Royal Studios Blues Jam and Memphis Rap OGz hosted by Al Kapone and DJ Zirk. I caught the Memphis Rap OGz set last year and the energy was unbeatable. It was so fun and a great nod to our hip hop greats.

Hi, Did the Riverbeat Festival change from the Beale Street Festival, If so, what are the dates. We are planning a girls trip and want to make sure of the dates.

RiverBeat has different organizers but falls on the same weekend that BSMF traditionally was. BSMF paused last year.
