After a brief hiatus in 2025, Gem & Jam Festival in Tucson, Arizona is returning in a big way in 2026.
Gem & Jam Festival is set to return to the Pima County Fairgrounds in Tucson, Arizona on February 6-8, 2026. An immersive camping festival that we’ve attended several times before [REVIEW], Gem & Jam is an excellent way to kick off this upcoming festival season.
The festival hosts a mix of jam bands, bass music, house, and more. The Gem & Jam headliners were just announced along with the rest of the lineup. Clozee, Tychno, Troyboi, and G Jones b2b Eprom are the top names at Gem & Jam 2026.

One interesting quality of the Gem & Jam lineup is the amount of special sets and b2b’s that will take place in the desert. These include a b2b from Yheti and Toadface, plus collaborative projects from Boombox and The Polish Ambassador (Boombassador) and Yheti and Lespecial (Liminoid). The Polish Ambassador is also playing a special set as Dead Polish, and Ivy Lab is performing an exclusive DNB set.
Several DJs will play electronic-focused sets at Gem & Jam. Boombox is performing a DJ set, as well as bass artists Mr. Bill and Cool Customer and house artists Nala and J. Worra. Genre-bending shows from Desert Dwellers, Devault, Flamingosis, Moontricks, Saxsquatch, Sunsquabi, and Tauk will bring the vibes.
The undercard at Gem & Jam has some hidden gems as well. Artifakts, Lumasi, Satin Jackets, and Tripp St. are all underrated artists to check out. Multi-instrumentalist Jason Leech will return to the festival after a great performance in 2023. Gem & Jam also has a strong lineup of upcoming acts, including many local to Arizona like Bodykast and others from out of state like Aireloosh.
We’re ecstatic that Gem & Jam is returning after just a year off with a lineup that is worthy of a three day camping festival. The Pima County Fairgrounds is an ideal venue for this event, and the Tucson Gem Shows happening in the city on the same weekend make the experience even better. We’ll see you this February for another memorable weekend at Gem & Jam.
