Welcome Back: Mud Island Amphitheater Sets Concert Series

Repairs are well underway at the Mud Island Amphitheater as organizers plan to reactivate the space for music and entertainment. Jerred Price, president of the Downtown Neighborhood Association of Memphis (DNA), says the “Comeback Concert Series” is planned for April at the amphitheater. The Memphis City Council approved $150,000 in funding towards repairs in September. “Work has included concrete repairs, improvements to the stage surface, new handrails, and designated accessible areas,” Price said in a statement. “Those might not sound like glamorous improvements, but they’re important. They’re the kinds of things that have to happen before we can responsibly welcome people back into the venue.” Price said they need continued collaboration with the City of Memphis, Memphis River Parks and other organizers to responsibly complete planning.
