DUSK Music Festival 2026 takes place on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14, 2026 at Jácome Plaza, 101 N Stone Ave, in downtown Tucson, Arizona. It is the festival's 10th anniversary, branded DUSK X, and it is presented by Relentless Beats and Rio Nuevo. Doors open at 2:30 PM, music starts at 3 PM and the event ends at 11 PM on both days. DUSK is all ages. The organizer's June 2026 press release describes it as a music, culinary and arts festival that draws approximately 15,000 attendees each year.
The official 2026 lineup has 43 artists. The five headliners are BigXthaPlug, Knock2, Fetty Wap, horsegiirL and Phantogram. They are joined by 12 support acts, including 54 Ultra, HOL!, Ship Wrek, Sudan Archives and The Aces, and 26 locals and special guests. The bill is multi-genre: rap and hip-hop, trap, tech house, indie and pop. Through the Road to DUSK Battle of the Bands and DJ competitions in Tucson, Phoenix and Flagstaff, local artists compete for spots on the lineup. Set times are released about one week before the festival on the official site.
The official site lists four stages: the Alameda and Presidio stages, the Tucson Federal Credit Union Discovery Zone for emerging local, regional and national artists (with a free public viewing area), and the hidden Portal Stage presented by GeekBAR. A Silent Disco runs in the courtyard of the historic Pima County Courthouse. Beyond the music, TucsonARTS commissions more than 20 area artists for installations and projection mapping, TucsonFEASTS brings local chefs and restaurants, and there is a TucsonSHOPS market, a Retro Arcade, the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Sports Lounge, the Canopy Cocktail Lounge and a 21+ Cannabis Garden.
