The Extra Innings Festival is back for another swing. After debuting to big crowds last year, the baseball-themed music fest slides into Tempe Beach Park on Friday, Feb. 28 and Saturday, March 1.

And the two-day extravaganza will offer a completely different (and slightly larger) roster of artists and sounds than Innings Festival, its sister event, which served up a “weird, wild musical celebration” at the park last weekend.

Extra Innings 2025 will largely feature country and folk musicians, as evidenced by its daily headliners The Lumineers and singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves. There will also be rock bands in the mix — including Kings of Leon and jammy acts like O.A.R. — as well as baseball-inspired activities and appearances by Major League Baseball legends during both days of the festival.

What else should you expect when the festival steps up to the plate this weekend for its second year? Here’s our guide to Extra Innings Festival 2025 with full details like parking info, the complete schedule and more.
