This is the fifth edition of the festival since its first debut in 2017 at the Shelby Farms Park. The fest continued at Shelby Farms through 2019 with headliners including Post Malone, Wu-Tang Clan, Jack White's group The Raconteurs and Jason Isbell. In 2020, the festival was canceled due to COVID-19. Last year, Mempho moved to Radians Amphitheater at the Botanic Garden.

The event sold out on all three days, showing its growing popularity. Apart from the three-day music event, the festival aims to highlight the cultural landscape of Southwestern Tennessee. As per reports, organizers will curate the event further to explore the city’s rich musical history.

Memphis, Home of the Blues & Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll, will also host the Beale Street Music Festival later this month. The Beale Street Music Festival is slated this year for April 29 to May 1, 2022 at the Memphis Fairgrounds.

The lineup at the 3-day festival includes Megan Thee Stallion and The Smashing Pumpkins. Other announced additions to the 2022 Festival include Shaggy, Third World, Duke Deuce and Tora Tora. Also slated to perform at the fest are Van Morrison, Three 6 Mafia, Weezer and Lil Wayne.
