The highly anticipated RiverBeat Music Festival, the largest in the mid-South, has officially announced its daily lineup for the May 2-4 event. Produced by Mempho Presents, this year’s festival features an electrifying set of headliners, including Missy Elliott on Friday, The Killers on Saturday, and Anderson Park & The Free Nationals closing out the festival on Sunday. In addition, RiverBeat has introduced single-day ticket sales, providing more accessibility for fans eager to experience the magic of Memphis’ premier music festival.

For a limited time, general admission single-day tickets are priced at $69, while VIP single-day tickets are available for $295.

Jeff Bransford, Producer of Mempho Presents, expressed excitement over this year’s curation, stating, “Not everyone can commit to a full weekend, so we’ve carefully curated each day to deliver an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re joining us for one incredible day or the full weekend journey, this lineup represents everything we love about music – bold, diverse, and packed with unmissable moments.”

GRAMMY-winning producer and Memphis music legend Boo Mitchell, who will be performing at RiverBeat, praised the festival’s commitment to the city’s musical heritage. “Mempho Presents has truly raised the bar with this year’s incredible lineup. The Royal Studios Blues Jam is a celebration of Memphis’s soul and spirit. Last year’s energy was electric, and I can’t wait for music lovers from Memphis and beyond to experience what’s becoming the most dynamic new festival in America.”

Building on the success of last year’s event, RiverBeat 2025 promises an immersive experience across five stages, featuring state-of-the-art visual displays, light shows, and projections that will transform the Mississippi riverfront into an entertainment spectacle.

Additionally, the festival has optimized entry with two main access points: the North Entrance, designed for direct access to key festival areas, and the Butler Street entrance, which enhances downtown accessibility and supports local businesses. Attendees can also look forward to the return of the iconic Ferris wheel, family-friendly activities, diverse food vendors, and nightly fireworks.

Three-day general admission tickets are currently available for $199, while VIP weekend passes cost $849. More announcements, including the daily performances schedule, food vendors, and sponsors, will be revealed soon.
