PHOENIX — Innings Festival is swinging for the fences in 2024, with a second weekend of shows and a diverse lineup of heavy-hitting performers.

The annual celebration of music and baseball at Tempe Beach Park opens Feb. 23-24 with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hozier in the headline slots.

The bonus weekend, appropriately called Extra Innings Festival, is set for March 1-2, with Chris Stapleton and Dave Matthews Band getting top billing.

All four headline acts are returning to Arizona after performing here this year. The Red Hot Chili Peppers played at State Farm Stadium in May, while Hozier appeared at Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix just a week before Tuesday’s Innings Festival announcement.

Stapleton and Dave Matthews Band, meanwhile, were involved in the 2023 Super Bowl festivities in February. Stapleton sang the national anthem before the game at State Farm Stadium and DMB was part of the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest concert series at Phoenix’s Footprint Center.
