The Maine Announces the Return of 8123 Fest for a Milestone 20th Anniversary Celebration

July 13, 2026

Today, The Maine officially announced the return of 8123 Fest, coming back to Mesa Amphitheatre on January 15 & 16, 2027.

What began as a hometown celebration has grown into a destination event, bringing fans from around the world to Arizona for a weekend built around music, friendship and the community that has formed around The Maine over the past two decades.

To mark the band’s 20th anniversary, The Maine will headline both nights of the festival with completely different sets each evening. No repeat songs. Just two nights celebrating every era of the band’s career alongside a weekend of special experiences, surprises and the moments that have made 8123 Fest such a unique event.

As 8123 Fest prepares for its fifth edition, the event continues to grow while holding onto the sense of community that has defined it from the beginning. What started as a gathering centered around The Maine has evolved into a destination weekend where fans travel from across the globe not only for the music, but to reconnect with friends they have met through the 8123 community. More reunion than festival, 8123 Fest has become a celebration of the relationships, memories and shared experiences that have been built around the band over the past 20 years.

Additional lineup announcements, ticket information and festival details will be revealed in the coming months.
