The story

Innings Festival in Tempe

Innings Festival combines Cactus League spring training season with a multi-genre rock music lineup, held each February at Tempe Beach Park and Arts Park since debuting in 2018. Alongside headline sets from acts such as Mumford and Sons, Twenty One Pilots, and Blink-182, the festival offers baseball-themed activities including batting cages and player appearances tied to Arizona's spring training calendar.

Every February, dozens of Major League Baseball teams relocate to the Phoenix area for Cactus League spring training, filling the Valley with players, fans, and a distinctly relaxed pre-season energy.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Innings Festival built its identity around a pairing that should not work as well as it does: mainstream rock and pop headliners performing during the exact window Major League Baseball teams gather in the Valley for spring training

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than treating baseball as a mere theme, the festival integrates real programming, batting cages, player meet-and-greets, and baseball-related activities, directly into the festival grounds alongside the music stages at Tempe Beach Park and Arts Park

03

The city starts moving

Since its 2018 debut, the festival has drawn headliners spanning generations and genres, from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day in earlier years to Mumford and Sons, Twenty One Pilots, and Blink-182 in 2026, alongside acts like Goo Goo Dolls, Cage the Elephant, and Sublime performing across the same weekend
