The Fresno Grizzlies announced that Tequila Fest will return to Chukchansi Park on Friday, May 17, with top artists coming to Fresno. In its second year, it will feature headliner T-Pain alongside Busta Rhymes and numerous local acts.

The event won Minor League Baseball’s 2023 Golden Bobblehead Award for Best Non-Game Day Event. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow at 10 am at FresnoGrizzlies.com.

Tequila Fest celebrates local food, vendors, throwbacks, and tequila. This year’s event is anticipated to keep the good vibes rolling with a reimagined Tequila Tastery and unique activations around the ballpark.

Following up last year’s show, which featured T.I., Rick Ross, Lil Jon, and nine other musical guests, the 2024 Tequila Fest lineup is once again a star-studded affair.

Headlining this year’s event is six-time Grammy Award-winning artist T-Pain. Known for hits such as Buy U A Drank, and Bartender as well as features on countless hits like Low (Flo Rida) and All I Do Is Win (DJ Khaled), T-Pain’s influence can be felt throughout the hip-hop, pop, and R&B worlds.

Also set to take the stage is 12-time Grammy-nominated artist Busta Rhymes. MTV called him ” one of hip-hop’s greatest visual artists.” The 2006 winner of the BET Hip-Hop Award’s “Best Live Performance,” Busta Rhymes promises to bring excitement to downtown Fresno for Tequila Fest.

“There’s going to be no place quite like downtown Fresno on May 17,” said Fresno Grizzlies president Derek Franks in a press release. “With another incredible lineup featuring world-famous performers, this year’s event will grow on last year’s successes as we continue to make this one of the biggest annual events in the Central Valley!”

Tickets for Tequila Fest will go on sale at 10 am tomorrow, March 14, at FresnoGrizzlies.com or the Chukchansi Park Ticket Office. General Admission tickets will be available for $75, while a VIP ticket package, which features the event ticket, a commemorative lanyard, and 10 Tequila Tastery Tickets, will be available for $150.
