RiverBeat Music Fest brings another weekend of unforgettable entertainment

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The 2nd annual RiverBeat Music Festival made waves along the Mississippi River this past weekend in Memphis.

As the latest endeavor of Mempho Presents, the organizers behind several events across Memphis and the Mid-South, the RiverBeat Festival brings dozens of genre-spanning artists to Tom Lee Park for three days of unforgettable entertainment.

Throughout the weekend, attendees were treated to music across five different stages, featuring local artists as well as internationally-recognized chart toppers.

Headliners for the 2025 event included Missy Elliot, The Killers, and Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, with performances from Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Cage the Elephant, Gayle and several others rounding out the full lineup.

And on Sunday, May 4, fresh off of a musical gig on Saturday Night Live, Grammy-nominated rising star Benson Boone took the stage to treat fans to his recent hits, such as “Beautiful Things” and “Slow It Down.”

Guests could also enjoy a variety of food options and vendor experiences, all while being immersed in impressive art installations throughout Tom Lee Park.
