UFEST 2026 with Godsmack at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre: The Phoenix Group Concert Guide

UFEST 2026 Returns: Godsmack Headlines the Valley's Biggest Rock Day

98KUPD's UFEST is back, and the 2026 edition is a heavyweight. On Saturday, September 12, 2026, Godsmack brings The Rise of Rock World Tour to Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre, with Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy along for the ride.

This is Arizona's real-rock crowd at full volume — a daylong-into-night lineup of riffs, anthems, and 20,000 fans under the desert sky.

A day this big deserves an entrance that matches. That's where Jacob Transportation comes in.

Why Roll to UFEST in a Party Bus

Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre is a fantastic venue, but it sits out on the west side and the post-show exit can test anyone's patience. A private party bus skips the headache entirely.

Your chauffeur handles the drive to 83rd Avenue and the slow crawl out of the lot, while your group keeps the energy high from the first song to the last encore.

• Tailgate on wheels — arrive together, fired up, with the music already going.
• No designated-driver debate — everyone gets to enjoy the day.
• Door-to-door service — picked up at home, dropped at the gate, collected when the lights come up.

The Right Ride for Your Rock Crew

UFEST is made for groups — coworkers, longtime concert buddies, a whole friend circle reuniting for the day. Our fleet scales to match.

Choose a party bus with premium sound and lounge seating for the big crews, or a limousine for a tighter group that still wants to travel in style.

Rates start at $150/hr, with concert transfers from $500 and full-day charters from $2,000 — flexible enough to cover a long festival day from pregame to last call.

Plan the Full Day

With a private driver, you can build out the whole experience: brunch and drinks before the gates open, a comfortable ride out to Talking Stick, then a late dinner or a Scottsdale nightcap once the show wraps.
