March 2026 brings major arena tours and classic headliners to Memphis venues across the city

A month of touring headliners and theater dates

Memphis’ March 2026 concert calendar spans multiple generations and genres, with national touring productions scheduled at the city’s largest rooms and several marquee theater engagements. Arena-scale shows at FedExForum are set to anchor the month, while The Orpheum Theatre and Graceland Soundstage list multiple nights that lean into legacy catalogs and established touring formats.

Programming across venues reflects a common March pattern in the touring industry: spring legs for major acts, midweek theater routing between larger markets, and bundled “package tours” that consolidate multiple headliners into one bill. For local audiences, that means a condensed window to see artists whose Memphis stops are typically one-date engagements.

FedExForum: two major nights on the calendar

• New Edition, Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton — Thursday, March 19, 2026. The “New Edition Way Tour” is scheduled for an 8 p.m. start at FedExForum, billed as a three-act package presented on a 360-degree stage configuration.

• Journey — Saturday, March 21, 2026. Journey’s “Final Frontier Tour 2026” is listed for 7:30 p.m. at FedExForum, positioning Memphis as one of the tour’s spring arena stops.

Both listings underscore how FedExForum functions as the primary Memphis venue for legacy pop and rock acts traveling with full-scale productions and higher-capacity seating requirements.

The Orpheum Theatre: a dense late-month run

The Orpheum Theatre schedules several concert presentations in the second half of the month, creating a concentrated stretch for audiences favoring seated, theater-style shows.

• Diana Ross — Saturday, March 14, 2026. A concert date is listed at the Orpheum.

• Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian — Tuesday, March 24, 2026. The tour date is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.

• Jason Isbell — Friday, March 27, 2026. A concert engagement is listed at the Orpheum.

• Los Tigres del Norte — Saturday, March 28, 2026. The Orpheum lists the group as part of its March calendar.

With multiple high-profile listings inside a two-week span, late March at the Orpheum is shaped less like a one-off headliner model and more like a short season of touring stops.

Graceland Soundstage: back-to-back classic-pop bookings

Graceland Soundstage lists two consecutive March nights that emphasize well-known catalogs and seated-ticket formats.

• A.J. Croce — Friday, March 13, 2026. A Memphis stop is listed at Soundstage at Graceland.

• Christopher Cross — Saturday, March 14, 2026. The Soundstage listing shows an 8 p.m. start time.

What to watch as dates approach

As March 2026 nears, concertgoers typically benefit from confirming door times, venue policies, and any schedule changes posted by venues and primary ticketing platforms. Several listings indicate limited availability or resale activity, a common factor for one-night engagements by long-established headliners.

For Memphis, the overall March lineup signals a month where the city sits squarely on national routing—pairing arena-scale legacy tours with a theater calendar that remains unusually busy for a single four-week window.
