The story

Mempho Music Festival in Memphis

Mempho Music Festival is an annual multi-day music festival held each October at Radians Amphitheater at the Memphis Botanic Garden in Memphis, Tennessee. Produced by the independent promotion company Mempho Presents, it features a multi-genre lineup spanning rock, indie, hip-hop, and blues, alongside art installations, and has called its current botanic-garden venue home since 2021.

Mempho Music Festival launched in the late 2010s as an attempt to give Memphis a large, professionally produced, multi-day music festival of its own, filling a gap in a city famous for its musical heritage but historically better known for smaller club shows and single-genre events than for a major touring festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's venue is itself distinctive: Radians Amphitheater sits inside the Memphis Botanic Garden, a setting that has hosted the long-running Live at the Garden concert series and the Memphis Symphony's outdoor performances, giving Mempho a green, garden-set backdrop instead of a bare fairground or downtown lot

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival is produced independently rather than by a national festival conglomerate, letting it maintain a more curated, regionally flavored lineup that leans into Memphis's own musical identity while still booking national touring acts, and recent editions have added large-scale interactive art installations alongside the music
