For those of you who have been going to Spring Training the last few years, you’re probably familiar with the Innings Festival, the concert series that has been put on by Major League Baseball since 2018. Well, the lineup for 2025 has been announced, and tickets are now on sale.
This year’s event will take place in Phoenix over two weekends, February 21 to 22 and February 28 to March 1, the first two weekends of Spring Training. In previous years, there was also an Innings Festival in Florida in conjunction with the Grapefruit League, but that event is no longer being held.
The first weekend will feature Fall Out Boy and The Killers as the headliners, with supporting acts including Incubus, The Black Keys, and Beck. The second weekend’s headliners will include The Lumineers, Kacey Musgraves, and Kings of Leon, supported by Maren Morris, Grace Potter, Megan Moroney and others.
The event is held in Tempe at Tempe Beach Park. There are nearby hotels in Tempe that are convenient to both the fairgrounds and a number of the Spring Training ballparks, including Sloan Park (Cubs), Tempe Diablo Stadium (Angels) and Hohokam Stadium (A’s). The park is also accessible from downtown via Phoenix’s light rail system.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here for the first weekend and here for the second weekend.
We’ve attended Innings Festival in Arizona in multiple years and can tell you that it’s a really good, well-run event. The bands are always great, the grounds are not too crowded, and, of course, the weather is usually spectacular. If you’re considering visiting Spring Training this year, it’s worth looking into.
