Common Kings, Katastro, Fortunate Youth and more will perform

Following the success of the Summer Roots festival that brought reggae and surf rock entertainment to SoCal last summer, Brew Ha Ha Productions has expanded the event with the announcement of Desert Roots – a new music and craft beer festival coming to Arizona this spring. Desert Roots Craft Beer & Music Festival will take place on Sunday, March 20th at Scarizona Festival Grounds in Mesa, AZ. The all-ages event will feature music from Cypress Hill, Common Kings, Katastro, Fortunate Youth, Arise Roots, Bikini Trill, and The Irie. There will also be craft beer tastings available with purchase of a tasting ticket until 3 pm for those 21+.

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 28th at 10 am PT. General Admission tickets start at $49 and VIP tickets start at $125 (both plus fees). Craft beer tasting tickets are available as an add-on for $10 via desertrootsfest.com.

“Desert Roots is going to be incredible,” shares festival producer and creator Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions. “We started with Summer Roots last year and it was such a success, we’ve decided to take this show on the road! Cypress Hill, Common Kings, Katastro, Fortunate Youth? Are you kidding me? The whole lineup is absolute fire and I can’t wait to kick off the 2022 festival season in the desert with everyone!”

For those who purchase a craft beer tasting ticket, the event will feature up to three hours of craft beer tasting showcasing an impressive selection of craft beers, including some of the region’s best. Participating craft breweries will be announced in the coming weeks. Attendees can also enjoy food for purchase from local food trucks and vendors, with vegan options available.

Desert Roots hours are 1-8 pm for General Admission ticket holders and noon-8 pm for VIP. Both General Admission and VIP tickets provide access to music performances. VIP tickets also offer access to designated areas with shade, upgraded restrooms, and a VIP Bar.
