The 8123 Fest is set to make its highly anticipated return to the desert in January 2025, debuting this time at the Mesa Amphitheater in Mesa, Arizona.
Headlining and organizing the festival will be The Maine, when asked about it, the Maine’s vocalist John O’Callaghan said, “after what feels like forever, we’re finally getting the squad back together for another weekend of bliss in the desert. 8123 Fest is set for January ’25, in a new location with new lineups and I’m frothing at the thought of it all. So break out your light coats and low SPF, because it’s officially ON.”
This year, the festival expands to a two-day event, with a lineup handpicked by The Maine, who are also the festival’s organizers. The band will take the stage on both days, with the first night, January 17 will be dedicated to full performances of their albums American Candy and Self-Titled.
On January 18th, the second day of the festival, The Maine will perform a setlist that spans their entire career. Formed in Arizona in 2007, the band has spent years touring the globe, drawing from their nine studio albums to create memorable live shows. The 8123 Fest, which first launched in 2017 to celebrate the band’s 10th anniversary and the growth of their dedicated fanbase—affectionately known as the 8123 Family—was conceived as a way to unite fans from around the world and connect them to the band’s Arizona roots.
The full lineup of artists will be announced next week, September 9. But for now, pre-sale and two day ticket bundles are on sale now.
