ABOUT / 01

Made for the local scene.

Three years in, and the tape is still rolling. Tape Deck is an independent festival built to put Arizona music where it belongs: front and center. It’s a day for discovering bands, supporting local makers, running into people you know, and finding a few new favorites along the way.

Year three brings two stages, ten artists, all original music, local vendors, food, and one long day by the lake. No massive crowds. No algorithm deciding what you should hear next. Just local music and the people who show up for it.

Tape Deck is built around a simple idea: put local music in the center, give artists room to be discovered, and make the day feel like something the community owns.

Side A / Side B

Tape Deck fills two stages with five bands or artists each, for a full day of incredible local music. The Side A stage showcases full bands, while the Side B stage gives solo and duo acts their time to shine.

We are currently lining up bands for the 2027 festival, and will publish set times here once they are confirmed.
