independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
After a busy festival season, we're heading somewhere new. About an hour northeast of Nashville, PossumStock 2026 brings independent artists, camping, and late-night music to the Red River, and we're excited to see what has brought the festival into its 11th year.
RiverBeat Music Festival returns to Tom Lee Park in Memphis on May 1–3, 2026, with a lineup led by Dave Matthews Band, Wu-Tang Clan, and The Red Clay Strays. The three-day riverfront event also features St. Vincent, Ice Cube, Lord Huron, Marshmello, T-Pain, Phantogram, and De La Soul, alongside a mix of regional artists and several influential Memphis rap veterans.
