Mempho Music Festival Unveils Artist Lineup: Two Nights of Widespread Panic, Tyler Childers, The Flaming Lips, Father John Misty and More
Mempho Music Festival has unveiled the artist lineup for the October 3-5 event, slated to take place at the Radians Amphitheater at Memphis Botanic Garden in Memphis, Tenn. Southern rock jam mavens, Widespread Panic, received top billing for this festival cycle, headlining Friday and Saturday night of the bill, before grass-rooted country favorite, Tyler Childers, will assume the slot on Sunday.
In addition to the festival headliners, Mempho’s impending lineup extends to the far reaches of the Southern cusp of its location, encompassing genres such as country, folk, bluegrass, rock, funk, soul, and indie, to formulate a lineup with mass appeal.
Trailing the Peach State favorites on Friday, Oct. 3, are Father John Misty, Leftover Salmon, Galactic, as well as fellow Athens, Ga., associated artists like Drivin’ and Cryin’ member Kevin Kinney and his band, as well as the headliner’s notorious collaborators, the separately billed Bloodkin.
Saturday picks up another batch of fresh faces, including The Flaming Lips, Lukas Nelson, Mavis Staples, The Pharcyde, Puddles Pity Party, and High Fade, before another evening helmed by WP. The final day of Mempho’s 2025 gathering will feature sets from Sierra Ferrell, Charley Crockett, Lucero, John R. Miller, Annie & The Caldwells, Amy Lavere, and the Gia Welch Trio.
Various passes and ticket packages are available. For more information and to purchase access to the Memphis Music Festival, visit the official website.
