Jack White-led rockers The Raconteurs, multiple Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile and rap legends Wu-Tang Clan lead the lineup for the 2019 Mempho Music Festival.

The third edition of the annual concert fest will take place Oct. 19-20 at Shelby Farms Park.

The festival made its official lineup announcement Monday morning, during a press event at the Sam Phillips Recording studio. Organizers confirmed most of the nearly 20 acts who will appear at the two-day weekend fest, including Americana favorite Margo Price, West Tennessee native and roots songstress Valerie June, Memphis rap great DJ Paul, New Orleans rockers the Revivalists, and California pop combo lovelytheband. The Raconteurs — featuring White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler — will headline the festival on Oct. 19, while Carlile will close the event on Oct. 20.

In a statement, Mempho Music Fest advisory committee member Boo Mitchell noted organizers were “very excited to welcome both Jack White and Brandi Carlile…They are both multi Grammy Award winners and among the most popular and relevant artists today."

Carlile was the breakout star at this year’s Grammy awards as the most nominated female artist, while The Raconteurs are set to release their first new album in 11 years later this month.

Reunited East Coast rap icons Wu-Tang Clan — who have been celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album — will make their first full appearance in Memphis during the opening night of the festival, just before The Raconteurs set.

The balance of the lineup also includes a strong contingent of Memphis and Mid-South acts, among them local band Summer Avenue, roots rocker Mark Edgar Stuart and swamp-soul singer Marcella Simien.

In each of its first two years, Mempho honored a local musical institution: In 2017 it was Stax Records and in 2018 it was Royal Studios. This year, Sun Studio will be the subject of a tribute performance. The show will be led by Sun founder Sam Phillips’ son Jerry Phillips, and feature guests including Amy LaVere, Will Sexton, Jason D. Williams and John Paul Keith, among others.

Mempho’s third year brings several changes, including a shift in management. The festival was founded by Memphis-rooted, East Coast-based entrepreneur Diego Winegardner’s Big River Productions. Winegardner has passed along day-to-day operation to a collective of locals comprising the Mempho Ownership Group.

“It has always been my vision to see Mempho being run locally by Memphians for Memphians,” Winegardner said. “Mempho is well on its way to becoming a permanent asset for the city and for Shelby Farms Park.”

“We are incredibly thankful to Diego for launching the first two Mempho Festivals and appreciate his vision for what Mempho can become for the city of Memphis,” said Mitchell, speaking on behalf of the Mempho Ownership Group.

Mike Smith, who has served as the festival’s production manager since its launch, has taken on a bigger role in the event. Smith has a long history locally, having served as a talent buyer for Young Avenue Deli and helped open Minglewood Hall, as well as his continued work with Southern Jam band titans Widespread Panic.

“We want to provide the festival-goers with a truly remarkable experience in all aspects… on festival grounds that enhance the natural beauty of Shelby Farms Park,” Smith said.

Another switch comes in the festival’s logo, which will now include the designation “at Shelby Farms Park.”

“The first two years Shelby Farms Park was a location, but for 2019 the park becomes an integral part of festival identity,” said Jen Andrews, Shelby Farms Park CEO, in a statement. “A great music festival is a combination of music, experience and location. Shelby Farms Park is perfect for a major festival with plenty of room to grow.”
