Beloved Tempe rockers The Maine have officially announced the return of 8123 Fest, with the band’s hometown celebration set for Jan. 15-16, 2027, at Mesa Amphitheatre. The two-day event also marks a major milestone, celebrating 20 years of The Maine.

As part of the anniversary weekend, The Maine will headline both nights of the festival, performing two completely different sets with no repeat songs across either performance. Fans can expect a weekend packed with music, special experiences, and a few surprises, with additional artists and festival details still to come.

“We can’t wait to have everyone back in the desert for 8123 Fest 2027! This year we are going to be playing two nights with two totally different set lists. No repeat songs. We have so much planned to make this a special weekend and can’t wait to celebrate 20 years of a band called The Maine,” said Pat Kirch.

Psyko Steve Presents’ Stephen Chilton said the event has grown into something much bigger than just a music festival. “Looking at the 5th 8123 Fest coming up, the thing that makes it so special and allows it to continue to grow every time is the intensely passionate fans and the community The Maine have created around 8123. It is not just fans traveling from around the world to see a band, it is people who have become friends through 8123 traveling to celebrate together. Oftentimes it feels more like an intimate reunion than a Festival.”

The weekend is set to be packed with events that will give fans the chance to connect, from kickoff celebrations and late-night after parties to exclusive experiences happening throughout Tempe and Mesa. Here’s a look at everything happening during 8123 Fest weekend (times subject to change):
