Gem & Jam Festival is expanding its 2027 lineup with more than 30 additional artists, including bass music standout Tape B and a special guest appearance by OMNOM. Returning to the Pima County Fairgrounds in Tucson, Arizona, from February 5–7, 2027, the 18th annual festival will bring together electronic music, jam bands, hip-hop, global sounds, rock, and more for a three-day celebration of music, art, and gemstones.
Building on the momentum of its most successful edition to date, Gem & Jam continues to balance established acts with emerging talent across a wide range of styles. The latest additions bring fresh energy to a lineup featuring more than 50 artists and entertainers, with returning favorites joining performers making their festival debut or returning to Tucson after several years away.
Among the newest additions, Tape B stands out for his bass-heavy productions and distinctive approach to reworking old-school hip-hop influences into modern electronic music. Special guest OMNOM also joins the bill, adding another name to a program that moves between underground electronic sounds, dancefloor-focused house, and experimental live performances.
The broader lineup includes Ganja White Night, Balkan Bump, Blu DeTiger performing a DJ set, The California Honeydrops presenting Sweet & Sticky After Dark, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Eazybaked, Josh Teed, Lotus, Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz Jam, Ott., Player Dave, Richard Finger, Russ Liquid, Saka, Shiba San, Skysia, Smoakland, Wreckno performing a sunset set, and VNSSA.
Additional performers include Arboreal, Bad Snacks, Chalk Dinosaur, Dizgo, Flying Mojito Bros, Future Joy, Habitaat, McWavy, Octave Cat, Raecola, Savej, and Speckz, alongside a deep roster of electronic and experimental artists. The festival’s programming also features an All Takeover with Parkbreezy, Pheel., TF Marz, and Alex Unger.
The Thursday night pre-party will feature a Qualia Takeover with Daggz, Lowcation, and Saturna, giving early arrivals an opportunity to begin the weekend before the main festival days.
Beyond its music programming, Gem & Jam Festival is known for combining live performances with visual art, gemstone exhibits, and interactive experiences. Set across the expansive grounds of the Pima County Fairgrounds, approximately 20 miles south of downtown Tucson, the festival will feature multiple stages, late-night sets, large-scale visuals, distinctive stage designs, artist galleries, live painting, experiential installations, and daytime workshops. Gem and mineral exhibits remain a central part of the event’s identity, connecting the festival’s musical programming with its namesake focus on crystals, gems, and art.
Three-day General Admission and VIP passes are currently available. VIP tickets include General Admission access along with early entry to the festival campgrounds, a car camping pass in a preferred area, dedicated viewing areas at the main stages, access to a VIP chill zone with complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, VIP bathrooms, and a festival goodie bag featuring merchandise and sponsor gifts.
Attendees looking to make a full weekend of the experience can choose from several camping options, including car camping, group camping bundles for up to 10 cars, glamping, VIP glamping, and standard or deluxe RV passes. Glamping packages include a pre-set-up insulated tent in a shaded, grassy camping area, along with an inflatable mattress, bedding, furniture, a space heater, and electricity. VIP glamping adds the available VIP upgrades, with both glamping options accommodating up to two people.
