Presented by Rio Nuevo, the eclectic and fan-favorite DUSK Music Festival returns to Jácome Plaza in downtown Tucson, Arizona, on November 9 & 10, 2024. Known for its diverse and inclusive lineup, the festival showcases a variety of musical genres including electronic, R&B, Afropop, reggae, alternative, pop, indie, hip hop, rock, and folk. This year’s headliners include GRAMMY®-nominated electronic music pioneer Kaskade, ‘TrapHouseJazz’ musician Masego, genre-blending Quinn XCII, and dance music showman Steve Aoki.
The festival’s stages, Alameda and Presidio, will feature an array of artists such as ATLiens, Disco Lines, Gus Dapperton, Peekaboo, Anabel Englund, Beach Weather, Blu DeTiger, and many more. Leading up to the festival, the Road to DUSK Battle of the Bands and DJ Competitions will provide a platform for Arizona-based musicians, bands, and DJs to compete for six lineup slots.
DUSK is celebrated for its unique atmosphere, characterized by little rubber duckies and wacky waving inflatable tube guys, and offers an unforgettable experience with Southern Arizona’s best food and beverages. The Tucson FEASTS program will once again feature an incredible lineup of local restaurants, food trucks, and chefs. Past participants have included Gastronomic Union of Tucson (GUT), Dante’s Fire, Culinary Dropout, Fresco Pizzeria & Pasteria, Rollies Mexican Patio, and Zio Peppe.
Supporting local businesses, DUSK’s Vendor Village will showcase a mix of small and micro-businesses, offering them a cost-effective opportunity to vend at the festival. The Tucson ARTS program will commission local students and professional artists to create sculptures, digital artwork, and lighting exhibits. Additional activations include Tucson PLAYS with various backyard and arcade games provided by Cobra Arcade Bar.
