Preview: Get Ready for the Extra Innings Festival!

If you’re looking to escape the winter blues and kick off festival season in style, the Extra Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona should absolutely be on your radar.

Happening February 27 and 28, 2026, the festival takes over Tempe Beach Park and Arts Park along Tempe Town Lake, with incredible views of the Rio Salado and the nearby Papago Mountains setting the backdrop for two packed days of music, baseball, food, and fun.

Extra Innings blends two great American pastimes, live music and baseball, into one awesome weekend. Across three stages, more than 18 Americana, country, and indie artists will keep the music going all day and into the night. This year’s lineup is stacked, featuring headliners Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown, and HARDY, along with a deep roster that includes Brothers Osborne, Muscadine Bloodline, Bret Michaels, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Jessie Murph, Shaboozey, 49 Winchester, Colby Acuff, and many more.

But this festival isn’t just about music. Baseball fans get their own slice of heaven too, with appearances from MLB legends and interactive experiences where fans can test their own skills alongside some of the greats. Whether you’re there to see your favorite artists, meet baseball icons, or just soak in the festival atmosphere, there’s something happening everywhere you look.

Of course, no festival experience is complete without great food, and Extra Innings brings in some of the best flavors the Southwest has to offer, with plenty of options available for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free fans as well.

Between the sunny Arizona weather, a killer music lineup, baseball experiences, and a beautiful lakeside setting, Extra Innings Festival is shaping up to be one of the must-hit events of the early 2026 festival season.
