Presented by Rio Nuevo- a group dedicated to revitalizing downtown Tucson, the eclectic, fan-favorite city festival, DUSK, returns to Jácome Plaza on November 09 and 10, 2024.
Leaning into its reputation for its diverse and inclusive lineup, as well as Tucson‘s best food, beverage, and art- the lineup for the crazy eighth year showcases artists across electronic, R&B, Afropop, reggae, alternative, pop, indie, hip hop, rock, and folk.
Fueled in partnership with independent promoter Relentless Beats, headliners include Grammy-nominate electronic music pioneer Kaskade; ‘TrapHouseJazz’ musician Masego; genre-blending popster Quinn XCII, and dance music party starter Steve Aoki.
Additional artists taking over the streets on the Alameda and the Presidio stages will feature ATLiens; Disco Lines; Gus Dapperton; Peekaboo; Anabel Englund; Austeria; Beach Weather; Blu DeTiger; Bunt.; Devin Morrison; Emei; Emorfik; Khiva; Layz; Odd Mob; Zolita; Barefoot on Bumblebees; ill.45; Insound; Jeezus; Sophia Rankin & the Sound; Walters the Don, and ZeeCeeKeely.
Leading up to the festival, the Road to DUSK Battle of the Bands and DJ Competitions in Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson will offer hundreds of Arizona-based musicians, bands, and DJs the chance to compete for six festival lineup slots in November.
Often recognized for its prominently featured little rubber duckies and cluster of wacky waving inflatable tube guys, DUSK creates unforgettable experiences throughout the intimate, urban venue with the best food and beverage Southern Arizona offers and an interactive art experience on the grandest scale for its fans.
While plans for this year’s event are still underway, fans can count on DUSK for an incredible lineup of restaurants, food trucks, and chefs, highlighting the thriving food traditions of the city through Tucson FEASTS. Previous food lineups have included chefs from Gastronomic Union of Tucson (GUT), Dante’s Fire, Culinary Dropout, Fresco Pizzeria & Pasteria, Rollies Mexican Patio, and Zio Peppe.
In support of local businesses, DUSK‘s Vendor Village will again curate an eclectic mix of small and micro-businesses, offering them a cost-effective opportunity to vend at the festival and build brand awareness and sales.
The festival’s Tucson ARTS programming will commission students and professional members of the Tucson arts community to create sculptures, digital artwork, and lighting exhibits for the festival grounds. Additional activations include Tucson PLAYS featuring various backyard games and classic arcade games from official partner Cobra Arcade Bar.
Tickets available HERE.
