Music around Tucson's gem season

Gem and Jam sits at the meeting point between a music festival and the wider creative energy that reaches Tucson during gem-show season. Electronic selectors, bass acts and improvising bands share the programme, with visual art adding another layer to the grounds.

Looking back and ahead

The completed 2026 edition ran February 6 through 8. The official site now looks toward the festival's 18th year in 2027, so this profile keeps the finished edition separate from the next lineup and ticket cycle.
