2022 BSMF ROUND ONE LINEUP RELEASE
MEMPHIS, Tenn., December 20, 2021 – Memphis in May officials made a surprise announcement of what to expect at Beale Street Music Festival’s eagerly anticipated return in 2022 by announcing a partial list of artists confirmed to appear at the region’s largest music festival.
2022 BSMF announced headliners are Foo Fighters, Lil Wayne, The Smashing Pumpkins and Three 6 Mafia.

The festival’s entire 60 plus artist lineup will be revealed in early February.
2022 will mark the Foo Fighters third headline appearance at the Beale Street Music Festival, having headlined the festival previously in 2000 and 2004. The rock and roll hall of famers last played Memphis in 2018 to a sold-out crowd at the FedEx Forum.

In addition to the general admission 3-day passes, VIP passes are also available, which offer exclusive seating on raised, covered platforms with unobstructed views of each stage, VIP-only bars with beer, food, wine, and convenient VIP-only air-conditioned restrooms.

The Beale Street Music Festival returns after a record-setting festival in 2019 but was not presented in 2020 or 2021 due to the pandemic. The 2022 edition of the Beale Street Music Festival will be presented at the Memphis Fairgrounds to make way for construction of the redesigned Tom Lee Park. The 2023 Beale Street Music Festival will return to Tom Lee Park when park construction is completed in April 2023.
