After this year’s return after a pandemic gap, featuring a new stage layout and limited capacity, the Riverbend Festival is ready to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2023 and to introduce a new pre-registration ticketing option.

The festival will run June 2-4 at Ross’s Landing and will once again feature local, regional and national acts on its three stages.

Friends of the Festival, which organizes the show, will offer for the first time a pre-registration option so guests can reserve one of the 15,000 wristbands being offered for the three-day event. Pre-registration will open at 10 a.m. Monday at a discounted $115 for Tier 1, general admission pricing. Fans can also pre-register for VIP tickets.
