Mempho Music Festival Unveils 2026 Lineup: Two Nights of Widespread Panic, Pretty Lights, Spoon, Broken Social Scene and More
Mempho Music Festival has revealed the artist lineup for its ninth annual event, set to stage from Oct. 9-11 in its namesake home of Memphis, Tenn. This year’s bill is helmed by Widespread Panic, who will return after a two-night headline booking last year with a four-set doubleheader on Saturday and Sunday, as well as cross-genre EDM mainstay Pretty Lights on Friday. Beyond the biggest names, this year’s lineup features several jam scene staples alongside enduring acts in blues-rock, hip-hop, reggae and alternative, plus some hometown heroes.
On Friday, Oct. 9, Pretty Lights’ headline set will be preceded by sets from indie-rock royalty Spoon and Broken Social Scene, livetronica pioneers STS9 and Memphis’ own up-and-comers Degenerate Breakfast and Zoë Dominguez. Before WSP’s show-closer on Saturday, the festival will welcome cutting-edge bluesman Gary Clark Jr., Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, boom-bap legends De La Soul, country-soul singer-songwriter Maggie Rose, NOLA funk powerhouse Dumpstaphunk and the Randall Bramblett Band. Finally, on Saturday, attendees can catch torch-passer Ziggy Marley, Southern rockers JJ Grey & Mofro, the singular Fishbone, freak-funk bassist MonoNeon, mandolin master Sierra Hull and Devil Train.
