September 25, 2023 By Chad Downs

Nestled in the stunning desert landscapes of Pima County Fairgrounds, Tucson, Arizona, the Gem & Jam Festival is back and buzzing with its 16th edition, running from February 2-4, 2024. This three-day extravaganza isn’t just about the tunes and art—it’s a celebration of all-around good vibes.

Known for its cozy yet grand experience, the festival has been growing and grooving, pulling in a crowd of 6,000 in its last round, making it the biggest bash to date. The festival grounds are a scenic escape, sprawled across 640 acres and just a short ride from downtown Tucson, offering a magical backdrop for endless music, workshops, a world-renowned vendor bazaar, and food & drink that’ll make your taste buds dance.

Topping the bill are Philly’s own The Disco Biscuits, bringing their jamtronica sounds, and the ever-blending bass act Of The Trees. The stage will also be lit with double the bass from Boogie T, house vibes from LP Giobbi, funky tunes from Lettuce, Arizona’s Spafford, and the versatile electro-soul vibes of Daily Bread—all popping their Gem & Jam cherries.

We’re also welcoming back some festival fam like the bass queen Maddy O’Neal, electro-soul pioneer Michal Menert, and the live electronic duo Break Science. New faces include the high-energy Andy Frasco and The U.N., funky fellows The Main Squeeze, dubstep duo TRUTH, and the experimental bass vibes of Yheti, among other cool cats.

The festival is also throwing some love to Mother Earth. Keeping the green vibes rolling with Green Disco, Gem & Jam is giving everyone a chance to chip in for the environment. By snagging a Green Disco Eco-Band, you’re helping plant trees in Tucson and getting some cool merch discounts—it’s all about that community and green love.

If you’re looking to level up your festival stay, Gem & Jam’s got some sweet glamping options. Think shaded luxury tents with all the comfy stuff— inflatable mattresses, bedding, furniture, and yes, electricity. It’s all about getting cozy amidst the festival buzz.

With a lineup peppered with acts like Fort Knox Five, VCTRE, Jaenga, and Vincent Antone, Gem & Jam Festival 2024 is shaping up to be a memory-maker, blending musical magic with scenic wonders and a solid nod to sustainability.
