This weekend, big-name artists and food vendors will flock to sunny southern Arizona for the Dusk Music Festival at the historic Rillito Park Race Track.
One of the founders of Dusk Music Festival, Page Repp, is also a UA alum from the School of Architecture.
“What sets us apart is our connection to Tucson,” Repp said. “We have local vendors, artists and musical talent. The festival is all about Tucson.”

The festival’s Friday lineup consists of Big Sean, Madison Beer, Vince Staples, Dr. Sharshar & HVRLY, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Herm, Myndset and Lando Chill. On Saturday, performers include Steve Aoki, Louis the Child, Future Syndicate, Win and Woo, Powermix, Polica, Orkesta Mendoza, Milky Chance and Trackstar the DJ. There will also be meet-and-greets at the festival, so make sure to keep an eye out for contests you can enter.
The Dusk staff is taking precautions to ensure a safe festival.
“Dusk is working hand in hand with local law enforcement, private security, fire personnel and emergency medical technicians to ensure the safety and security of everyone there,” Repp said. “This is our highest priority; we want everyone to have a great time, safely.”
For those attending, remember to review the list of allowed and prohibited items for the festival. That list can be found on the festival website.
