The Innings Festival is back for 2027, and the full lineup is finally out. It's a three-day, baseball-themed music festival that lands in Tempe from February 26 to 28 at Tempe Beach Park & Arts Park, right along Tempe Town Lake with the Rio Salado and the Papago Mountains in the background. Live Nation Arizona is putting it together, and the format is built for people who hate choosing between stages: 30 artists across three stages, with no overlapping sets, so you can actually catch everything you want.

Friday opens with Pitbull headlining, backed by 5 Seconds of Summer, Train, 4 Non Blondes, Shaggy, Cold War Kids, Winnetka Bowling League, Sun Room, Winyah and The Retrograde. Saturday hands the top spot to The Strokes, with Pierce the Veil, Interpol, Yellowcard, Hot Mulligan, JET, Blondshell, Ax and the Hatchetmen, Radio Free Alice and Practically People filling out the bill. Sunday closes things out with Alanis Morissette, plus The Neighbourhood, Death Cab for Cutie, Spoon, Passion Pit, Better Than Ezra, Glixen, Vincent Lima, The Technicolors and Tournament.
The baseball theme isn't just window dressing. The festival lines up with the start of Cactus League spring training, and the diamond side of the bill is stacked: Darryl Strawberry, Dexter Fowler, David Justice, Nelson Cruz, Rollie Fingers, Joe Kelly, Jake Peavy, Jamie Moyer, Omar Vizquel, Shawn Dunston and ESPN analyst Jessica Mendoza all make appearances. There are interactive baseball activities, an onstage talk show hosted by former pitcher Ryan Dempster called "Off the Mound," and an All-Star Baseball Jam hosted by Jake Peavy.
On the music side, the headliners cover a lot of ground. Pitbull has been active since 1998 and has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, with his latest studio album, Underdogs, arriving in August 2025. The Strokes, the New York rock band formed in 1998, released Is This It in 2001 and have followed it with Room on Fire, First Impressions of Earth, Angles, Comedown Machine, The New Abnormal and Reality Awaits. Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill went 16 times platinum and earned her four Grammys in 1996, including Album of the Year, and she's kept going with records like Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, So-Called Chaos, Flavors of Entanglement, Here Comes the Rain and The Storm Before the Calm.
Tickets are the part that needs planning. The presale ran on Thursday, October 29, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. PT, with an access code from inningsfestival.com for the lowest-priced general admission tickets during that first hour. Everything else went on sale to the general public right after, at 11:00 a.m. PT. You can pick from one-day and three-day general admission, GA+, Center Field Bleachers, Left Field Reserved, VIP and Platinum, plus two-day GA passes, and there are layaway plans for the three-day tickets. A 2027 Lineup Tee is available, and there are exclusive hotel spots and rates in Tempe.
Beyond the music, there's a culinary celebration with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you're staying the weekend, the park itself is worth a visit: you can picnic, rent a bike at The Bicycle Cellar or get out on the water with a boat or paddle board. Parking is available at the Tempe Beach Park surface lot, the 201 S. Ash Parking Garage and the Hayden Ferry Lakeside Parking Garage.
