Brothers Osborne, Cage the Elephant and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit will headline Riverbend 2022 on June 3-5, according to officials with presenter Friends of the Festival. In making the announcement on Thursday morning, the organization broke with its almost four-decade tradition of releasing acts a few at a time by releasing the other 21 acts on the lineup.
The entire list of acts includes The War & Treaty, Gov’t Mule, Moon Taxi, Grace Potter, Tanya Tucker, Devon Gilfillian, Los Amigos Invisibles, The Shindellas, Jenny Lewis, Elle King, Ayron Jones, BEXAR, The Magi, Brittney Spencer, Niko Moon, Kendell Marvel, and local favorites Strung Like a Horse, Lenox Hills, Rick Rushing & The Blues Strangers and The Communicators Present “That ’90s Show.”
Moon Taxi will actually do two sets with the second featuring a guest artist in a set that will pay homage to Rage Against the Machine.
The daily schedule will be released sometime in February, according to officials.
This year’s event June 3-5 represents a multitude of changes in the 40-year-old event that have taken place since the last actual festival in 2019. Whereas in the past the number of admission pins, or more recently wristbands, was unlimited, this year’s event will be capped at 15,000 attendees.
