RiverBeat will return to Tom Lee Park in Memphis from May 1-3, 2026, with Dave Matthews Band, Wu-Tang Clan, and The Red Clay Strays serving as headliners.

The festival marks another year of bringing together rock, hip-hop, and Americana acts to the Mississippi riverfront. Dave Matthews Band will make their RiverBeat debut, while Wu-Tang Clan returns to Memphis for their first performance in the city since 2019.

The Red Clay Strays, who have gained momentum following their recent album release, round out the top tier of performers. The Alabama-based group has seen increased touring opportunities after several songs gained traction on streaming platforms.

Tickets for the three-day event go on sale December 15 through the RiverBeat website. General admission passes start at $275, with VIP packages available for $850.

Tom Lee Park underwent renovations in 2023 that expanded capacity and improved sight lines for festival events. The venue can now accommodate 40,000 attendees per day.

RiverBeat organizers expect to announce additional performers in January 2026. Last year’s festival drew 95,000 people over three days and generated an estimated $18 million in economic impact for Memphis.
