John Summit & Julia Wolf Deliver Moody New Single 'WITH ME'
From February 2 – 5, 2017, the 11th annual Gem & Jam Festival will take place near Tucson, Arizona. The event will be filled with live music, painters, and other performers.
On Thursday music kicks off at 4pm with Jyshua Pcalyps. Only the Quartz and Onyx stages will be open on the first night, but they are stacked with artists Electric Feel, Unlimited Gravity, EOTO, and more.
As for Friday, the main stage opens and we jump right back into things with The Infamous Stringdusters, The Floozies, Kitchen Dwellers, and so many more talented musicians. All the Phish fans will wiggle their way onto the grounds for Mike Gordon, so map out your plan to get around them for a solid view of his performance.
Saturday and Sunday will finish off the weekend with The Russ Liquid Test, G Jones, Lotus, Gramatik, Gipsy Moon, and other supporting acts. As Saturday will consist of some bassier music, Sunday will wrap it all up with some uplifting tunes!
So with that, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will all have late night sets. The late night performances start as soon as the main stage ones are over. All late night performances are included in the purchase of a festival pass. As music ends around 2 – 4am each night, find your after hour campsites and get to know your fellow attendees.
