The SouthSounds Music Festival has officially revealed a 2023 lineup that will put more than 40 Southeastern acts on three stages in downtown Mobile in a few weeks.

The full slate of acts — topped by Tank and the Bangas, Susto and JoJo Hermann of Widespread Panic — is a return to form for SouthSounds, which last offered something similar in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kick-off parties will feature Matthew Logan Vasquez, The Coursing, Empty Hands, Knives, Kill the Imposter, Resistor and Son of a Gun.

The festival takes place March 30-April 2. Performances will be presented at the Alabama Music Box, 12 S. Conception St.; The Merry Widow, 51 S. Conception St.; and a Made By The Water Stage at The Merry Widow. A four-day pass is $65; four-day VIP passes, which include hotel shuttle service, early access to venues, access to private lounges, food, Braided River beer and other perks, are $135.
