Last year, Gem and Jam Festival altered their venue to offer the full festival experience. With the move from Downtown Tucson to a desert setting, the 2017 weekend was beyond successful. Pima County Fairgrounds will host the festival for its second year in a row on January 25-28, 2018. For its twelfth annual event, Gem and Jam just released its Phase 1 lineup, which includes two nights of STS9 and Lettuce. Additionally, Greensky Bluegrass, Railroad Earth, Emancipator and Breaking Biscuits, which features members of the Disco Biscuits and Break Science will perform as well. As this is only the Phase 1 lineup, festival goers can look forward to announcements of even more of the biggest talent in the world.

“We are so excited to welcome our fans out to the desert to share in this amazing experience we are building,” says festival co-producer Toby White. “There is something for everyone at Gem & Jam and we still have many more surprises to come.”
