Innings Festival 2026 - Preview
Written by Kili Goodrich
Innings Festival is back and bigger than ever! From February 20–22, 2026, Tempe Beach Park, Tempe, Arizona, will transform into the ultimate spring training kickoff celebration. Merging a killer music lineup with MLB legend appearances. A laid-back desert energy that only the Southwest can deliver. The line-up is a promising experience stretching over three days this year.
Friday encompasses feel-good folk and alternative vibes. With banjo-driven brilliance, Mumford and Sons will headline. The list of performers below doesn’t sit quietly. 90s alt-rock gods, Goo Goo Dolls, recently stopped in Phoenix, Arizona, on a roaring tour. Their soon return has fans lifted with excitement. Also joining Friday’s lineup is UK singer-songwriter Myles Smith. A band you absolutely do not want to miss is GROUPLOVE. A guarantee to lift all energy. Peach Pit, and the ever classic, OK GO, will also ensure that Friday will be a night to never forget.
For Saturday, bases will still be loaded. Prepare yourself for an electrifying performance from Twenty One Pilots. The duo is known for their groundbreaking live performances. Dashboard Confessional and Lord Huron are also listed. Not even halfway through the festival lineup, and the festival promises a jam-packed promise to an unforgettable weekend. Indie folk heroes Cage the Elephant always make waves on the stage. Throw in The Fray, and Saturday is overwhelmingly good.
Nearing home plate, Sunday will be the third and final day. Hitting the stages first are artists Bowling For Soup, Switchfoot, and Common People. While music is the ultimate highlight, it isn’t all that Innings Festival is about. It's a celebration of baseball. Expect special appearances and panels from MLB legends. (Jessica Mendoza, Brandon Crawford, Jason Kipnis, to name a few.) The festival is a unique blend of sports and sound that gives it a one-of-a-kind flavor. Catch “Off the Mound” with Ryan Dempster. A live talk show featuring candid conversations with baseball stars. Sunday continues its roster of punk energy and hip hop icons. Co-headliners Sublime, Public Enemy, and Big Boi will ignite the fuse. All for Sunday night to close out with Blink-182. Innings Festival is nothing but a high-octane experience.
The festival grounds offer plenty of space to roam. If you don’t come for your most beloved performers, you will discover new artists. Make sure to grab gourmet eats and sip local craft brews. Who knows, maybe even snag a selfie with a baseball legend! Innings Festival 2026 is shaping up to be the perfect home run weekend.
