Mempho Presents will host the Shell Daze Music Festival on April 17–18, 2026, at Overton Park Shell in Memphis. The two-day event brings a focused lineup of bluegrass and Americana artists to the historic open-air amphitheater, which is celebrating 90 years.
Friday, April 17 (doors at 4 p.m.) features Old Crow Medicine Show, Molly Tuttle, and The Last Revel. Old Crow Medicine Show headlines the opening night, bringing more than two decades of modern string-band songwriting and festival-tested energy to the Shell stage. Molly Tuttle joins the bill as a multi-Grammy Award winner whose musicianship and songwriting have helped redefine contemporary bluegrass. The Last Revel rounds out the evening, adding harmony-driven Midwestern roots to the night’s program.
Saturday, April 18 (doors at 3 p.m.) is led by Greensky Bluegrass, whose jam-oriented approach to bluegrass have made them a consistent festival draw. Sam Grisman Project follows, drawing from a catalog rooted in acoustic tradition while bringing a contemporary lens to classic material. Memphis artist Bailey Bigger completes the lineup, offering a local presence within the weekend’s broader bluegrass framework.
Shell Daze unfolds at the 90-year-old Overton Park Shell, an open-air amphitheater with both seated and standing areas.
