Memphis In May Tickets

Great lineup, great variety of music for everyone. There was almost too much music, I couldn't listen to everyone. Yes there was some mud, it wouldn't be Beale Street Music Festival without it.

despite the weather & i didn't think it was that bad ... i had a freakin' great time!! i got to see all the bands i wanted & the ROCKED it ... it was a great time had by all the people i was with so it was worth it!! :)

Overall the festival was very good. Blues Traveler, B-52s, Micheal McDonald, Booker T and MGs were great! Halls and Oats were unfortunately cancelled abruptly due to the weather, but the 2 songs they did get to perform were GREAT! Word to the Wise: Not kid friendly - Nothing to do for kids who are not old enough to drink beer. Plastic rain boots suited to your personal taste seemed to be a "must have" due to the massive amount of mud on the ground because of the rain. No place to sit accept for ground (in the mud). No personal seats were allowed in the park. The FedEx Blues Tent was the only place with chairs and an overhead cover to shield you from the wet weather. Thanks to all the sponsors: Coke, Best Buy, Cellular One, Budweiser, FedEx, Sam's Town. Thanks to all the other great acts I did not get a chance to see. Memphis is a great place to visit! Great Food, Great Music!

A refund should be issued for Saturday. The entire day was basically canceled. I got to see 2 bands, but should have seen many. A partial refund should be issued.

The whole concert was amazing. Since there were tornado warnings all day saturday, a bunch of the smaller bands got booted so that just meant we got to see puddle of mudd, seether, and alice in chains sooner. Well all of those except alice in chains. They were canceled because of a damn tornado "warning." The whole night there wasn't even a tornado. It was sooo stupid. I gave it 4 stars because we need to get something in return for alice in chains being canceled. The whole thing was absolutely awesome but waiting all that time to see alice in chains then they don't even play sucks.

Great venue and well organized. Only average because of the weather. Saturday night cancelled and park evacuated due to tornado warning - missed some bands I really wanted to see, but overall a great time. Invest in a pancho & mud boots. Be ready to pay for parking unless you want to walk farther than you will already going up & Beale St. You will stand except for seating in the Blues Tent. Good food, moderately priced. Great mix of music. Beautiful park, lively environment, plenty of good people watching too!

The Beale St. Music Festival is something to experience at least once. I really enjoyed myself while the music was playing. I'm not really one for big crowds so moving between stages and waiting for another band to come on one was horrible. I will attend this event again sometime but only if I have a big group with me.

got there at 6 pm just to have a few beers and walk to the stage and they tell us to evacuate due to weather! tornado? i never seen the tornado, lol.. I wasted $100 so of course I'm upset ..

This is a great band they need more air play on the radio, so that more people would know about them.

Panic played a great set (although it was short), and the weather held out just long enough with only a few short showers. Very laid back atmosphere and overall a good time!

What a great festival. Remember to bring rain boots! Had a great time despite weather complications.

All in all a great time had by all. Plenty of Great Music and lots of cold beer. Alice in chains was rained out but that is Memphis in May. Definetly going again next year. Oh yea who can forget Beale Street.

This would have been a great festival but everyone was kicked out of the park just minutes before Alice in Chains were scheduled to play due to weather conditions. There's not much anyone could have done to prevent it but it sucked!!!

The sound was good and the bands were great. The event needs a better evacutation plan. Next time more newer, young bands this event is more for the 20's age group and this years bands were more for the 50's age group.

Even with the rain and mud spirits were high as music filled Tom Lee Park. Fun times!

Awesome line up but Prematurely closed at end due to bad weather happens every year should be called Memphis In MUD - but overall when weather cooperates like yesterday - AWESOME DEAL. They should hold it 2nd or third week of MAY

Loved the event and music. The weather sucked big time.

Usually, Music Fest is awesome--minus the mud. This year, some of the bands canceled, so the remaining bands were moved up. No one announced it, so I missed most of the bands I came to see! I was so upset! And then, they evacuated the entire park because of a tornado warning... Alice in Chains was canceled, and they're not rescheduling. I don't think I got my money's worth this year.

As always every year it seems to rain during the fest. So bring your Rain Coat! Alice in Chains did not get to play due to bad weather in the area, they closed the park, and my dream of seeing AIC was smashed. Poor Me!!! The Memphis in May fest is very fun, lots of food, and cool people. I recommend this event. Go have fun.

we got there about 6pm, just as yo gotti was performing....we also saw puddle of mudd and seether, which were all good shows...the rain held off through their 3 shows, however about 10pm an announcement was made that the park must be cleared due to weather(a tornado warning had been issued), which lead to the cancelling of the event for the event for the evening. therefore we were unable to see alice in chains which is the band we'd been waiting for and mainly the real reason we went. i know there is a disclaimer on the tickets saying rain or shine, and we would have stood out there in the rain, but i feel like some compensation should be available for ticket holders who waited all night just to see alice in chains then have the event be cancelled at the last moment.
