Mempho Fest Reveals The 2024 Lineup
The South has a variety of music festivals ranging in flavor from hip-hop to pop to EDM to indie. Jam bands have been fading from the southern festival spotlight, but this year’s Mempho Fest is bringing hope to the masses with their 2024 lineup drop. Featuring a mix of jam artists, including Trey Anastasio and goose, as well as rock and country, including Queens of the Stone Age and Marcus King, the 2024 lineup for Mempho Fest is a crowd pleaser.
Digging into the undercard, there are some amazing names listed including The Roots, Sublime with Rome, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Cory Wong, and All Them Witches. All of these bands have their own cult following which will make for a very interesting festival crowd this year. And there will be more to see outside of the music, including the Incendia Dome, which is a large jungle-gym-type dome that has flames coming out of the top center above the dancefloor where a DJ will be spinning tunes. I’ve danced under the Incendia Dome at many events in both Atlanta and Chicago. I’m excited to add Memphis to the list! Additionally, the festival has announced they will have a silent disco, which generally means there will be late-night programming but more details will come in the next few months.
The festival takes place October 4-6 at the Radians Amphitheater next to the Memphis Botanic Garden. This is located in East Memphis inside the Highway 40/240 loop. Camping might be an option at local campgrounds nearby, but there will be plenty of hotels to stay at nearby. I encourage you to book your hotels ahead of the festival. I have not been to Mempho Fest before but have attended Beale Street Music Festival in downtown Memphis. Hotels for Beale Street booked up closer to the event and finding a room became more of a hassle. Start planning your trip now! Hope to see you there.
