DUSK MUSIC FESTIVAL IGNITES TUCSON WITH HIGH-ENERGY LINEUP FOR ITS NINTH EDITION

The iconic mirrorball duck is set to return as DUSK Music Festival transforms downtown Tucson’s Jácome Plaza into an immersive celebration of sound, art, and culture on November 15 and 16, 2025. Presented by Rio Nuevo, the city-backed redevelopment organization championing Tucson’s downtown revival, DUSK continues to define itself through a genre-spanning, inclusive lineup and a vibrant blend of music, food, art, and community.

Partnering with independent powerhouse Relentless Beats, DUSK’s 2025 headliners bring together global stars and rising acts across electronic, hip-hop, R&B, pop, and rock. Festival-goers can look forward to electrifying sets from Deorro, G-Eazy, INZO, Levity, and Loud Luxury, with a special guest performance by ACRAZE, known for his genre-defying house anthems.

Adding to the energy are more than twenty performers lighting up the Alameda and Presidio stages, including Alleycvt, Drama, Hayla, Jigitz, Laszewo, Lupe Fiasco, RØZ, Whipped Cream, Ekonovah, Evangelia, Jessica Baio, Loofy, Maryjo, Pretty Sweet, Vundabar, Bummer Girl, Bush League, Cherry!, Daytrails, Desert Music Project, Keegan Halvorsen & the Woke Mob, New Misphoria, SIV, Sophzhaus, and Wulftron.
Final slots will be filled through the DUSK Battle of the Bands and DUSK DJ Competition, taking place October 11 and 18, where local talent will compete for a coveted place on this year’s lineup.

A FULL-SENSORY EXPERIENCE BEYOND THE MUSIC

Known for its quirky visuals—rubber duckies, dancing inflatable tube guys, and glowing art installations—DUSK offers a playground of creativity and connection. Attendees can expect an immersive mix of Tucson’s best food and drink through Tucson FEASTS, featuring local chefs, restaurants, and food trucks that celebrate the city’s culinary identity. Past participants have included names like Gastronomic Union of Tucson (GUT), Dante’s Fire, Culinary Dropout, Fresco Pizzeria & Pasteria, Island Noodles, KoolTwists, and Solid Grindz Hawaiian BBQ.

SUPPORTING LOCAL CREATORS AND BUSINESSES

The DUSK Vendor Village will once again highlight small and micro-businesses, giving them an affordable opportunity to reach new audiences and grow their brands. The festival’s Tucson ARTS program commissions local students and professionals to design large-scale sculptures, digital installations, and lighting experiences throughout the grounds. Meanwhile, Tucson PLAYS, in collaboration with Cobra Arcade Bar, brings back fan-favorite games and interactive entertainment zones.
