Apparently the reality of last year’s dreary lineup sank in with the directors of the show as this years lineup includes a host of well-known and well-liked talent. This year the show will include artists such as Ke$ha, CeeLo, B.o.B., John Mellencamp, Ludacris, Flaming Lips, Charlie Wilson, Ludacris and a hometown Memphis favorite, 8Ball & MJG to name a few! I think I am going to get my 3-day pass this year come rain or shine! This definitely is going to be a must-attend event. Each year, thousands of locals and tourist come to what I like to call “ A BIG FAMILY PICNIC” to share in the music and excitement of Beale Street and Memphis.
The Beale Street Music Festival is held April 29-May 1 2011 at Tom Lee park in Downtown Memphis . According to memphisinmay.org, the 2011 Beale Street Music Festival marks the 35th anniversary of the festival which each year attracts music enthusiasts from all 50 states and a dozen foreign countries to the storied city where rock-n-roll and blues music all began. Over the past decade the festival has attracted over 1.1 million music fans to the multistage three-day event, best known for its eclectic mix of contemporary rock, blues, soul and modern talent and its musically inspired setting. The festival is held in a beautiful 25 acre riverfront park at the foot of historic Beale Street overlooking the mighty Mississippi River.
