DUSK Music Festival is celebrating a decade of music, art, and community with its 10th anniversary edition, returning to Jácome Plaza in downtown Tucson, Arizona, on November 13–14, 2026. Presented by Rio Nuevo and produced in partnership with independent promoter Relentless Beats, this year’s festival will bring more than 50 artists to the city for two days of live music, immersive art, local food, and activities celebrating the creative culture of Southern Arizona.
Marking ten years since its beginnings in 2016, DUSK has built its identity around bringing together international touring artists, emerging performers, and local talent in an accessible downtown setting. The anniversary lineup reflects that range, spanning electronic music, hip-hop, R&B, alternative, indie, pop, rock, punk, folk, and more. Headliners include Knock2, Fetty Wap, BigXthaPlug, HorsegiirL, and Phantogram, giving fans a mix of established names and artists representing different corners of today’s music scene.
Friday, November 13, will feature Knock2 and Fetty Wap, alongside 54 Ultra, Getter, Sudan Archives, Close Friends Only, Lavern, and Rad Cat. The day will also showcase a broad selection of artists joining the festival lineup, including ADHFJ9, Cheers to the Outside, Coach, Drew Cooper, Ezra, Formerly Known As, Güero, House of Ghosts, Phazix, Pijama Piyama, Shannnnoonnnn, Soaplab, Swigfoot, The Hawthorne Experience, and TKNO Gangsta.
Saturday, November 14, will bring BigXthaPlug, HorsegiirL, and Phantogram to the top of the bill, with additional performances from HOL!, Ship Wrek, The Aces, Avello, Good Boy Daisy, Jackie Hollander, Lucky, and Half Dead. The day’s wider lineup includes Baum, Bodykast, BPM, Chandler Leighton, Dabdoub, D-Jwong, Grøsh, Insound, Jocy, Kade Findley, Manalo, Misses, Revolú, Sophia Rankin & the Sound, Suntwist, Thraxx, and Wr!ght.
Beyond the main stages, DUSK is expanding its support for emerging artists through the Tucson Federal Credit Union Discovery Zone. Announced ahead of the anniversary festival, the new partnership highlights developing musicians while supporting music education for students in the Tucson area. The TFCU Discovery Stage will feature local, regional, and national bands, DJs, and songwriters, with Chandler Leighton and EZRA headlining the stage.
The Discovery Stage lineup also includes DABDOUB, Cheers to the Outside, Güero, INSOUND, Kade Findley, MANALO, Pijama Piyama, Suntwist, Swigfoot, and The Hawthorne Experience. Additional Arizona artists will have opportunities to earn a place on the stage through the Road to DUSK Battle of the Bands, scheduled for October 23, and DJ competitions. More than 1,500 fans have attended these competitions, with ticket proceeds benefiting DUSK Charities and helping provide musical instruments to high school students in the Tucson area.
The Discovery Zone will also offer a free public viewing area through partnerships with the City of Tucson, Downtown Tucson Partnership, and Local First Arizona. Community members without festival tickets will be able to watch Discovery Stage performances and purchase food and beverages from local vendors, extending part of the festival experience beyond its ticketed grounds.
Food and art remain central to the DUSK experience. Through Tucson FEASTS, festivalgoers can explore restaurants, food trucks, and chefs showcasing Southern Arizona’s culinary scene. The festival’s Vendor Village will provide small and micro-businesses with opportunities to connect with attendees, while Tucson ARTS will bring together students and professional artists to create sculptures, digital artwork, and lighting installations throughout the venue. Tucson PLAYS will add another layer of activity with backyard games and classic arcade entertainment.
For fans looking to elevate their festival weekend, DUSK will offer general admission, VIP, and Platinum ticket options. VIP benefits include air-conditioned premium restrooms, enhanced food experiences, lounge seating, front-of-stage viewing areas, complimentary coat and bag check, and massages. The Platinum Experience includes standard VIP amenities along with access to an elevated viewing area, comfortable seating, complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks throughout the day, and a catered dinner each evening.
Single-day and two-day general admission tickets are on sale now, with payment plans available for a limited time. Tickets and festival extras can be purchased through the official DUSK Music Festival ticketing page. The event is open to all ages.
Ten years after its debut, DUSK continues to bring music and creativity into the heart of downtown Tucson. With a diverse lineup, expanded opportunities for emerging artists, local food and businesses, and community-focused programming, the 2026 anniversary edition is set to celebrate not only the festival’s history but also the people and creative culture that have helped shape it.
