The Gasparilla Music Festival (Website) is back for its 14th edition, running Friday through Sunday, April 10–12, at a new downtown Tampa home: Meridian Fields, an 11.5-acre site at 101 S. Meridian Avenue in the heart of the Water Street district. Gates open at 3 p.m. each day.
The festival is back after sitting out 2025 due to financial strain following back-to-back years of weather disruptions. The 2026 lineup reflects a broad range of genres across multiple stages. Mt. Joy headlines Friday, Two Friends take Saturday, and Gov’t Mule closes it out Sunday. Supporting acts include Shakey Graves, Jai Wolf, Drive-By Truckers, Bryce Vine, GZA, Kaitlin Butts, lovelytheband, East Nash Grass, and Tampa’s own Tom G, among 40-plus artists total.
This year will also feature a free GMF Kids Fest and a free stage in the Water Street district open to the general public.
Weekend passes start at $100. Single-day general admission starts at $55, with VIP options available. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.
