Goldrush 2026 Brings Alesso, deadmau5, GRiZ & More to Arizona
Arizona’s Wild West-inspired dance music festival is officially riding back into the desert as Relentless Beats prepares for Goldrush: Midnight Riders, taking over Rawhide Western Town in Chandler on September 11–12, 2026. After another successful edition at the iconic western-themed venue, Goldrush is once again expected to deliver one of Arizona’s biggest electronic music weekends with massive stage production, immersive décor, and a stacked lineup of global talent.
Leading the charge this year are festival favorites Alesso, deadmau5, GRiZ, and Martin Garrix, alongside more than 25 artists spanning house, bass, dubstep, techno, and drum & bass. With Goldrush known for curating a diverse lineup each year, fans can expect everything from high-energy festival anthems to late-night bass-heavy sets throughout the weekend.
Beyond the music, Goldrush has built a reputation for creating a fully immersive festival experience. Rawhide Western Town transforms into a themed frontier filled with roaming performers, saloon-inspired installations, western props, interactive art, and cinematic visuals that bring the “Midnight Riders” concept to life. The atmosphere has become one of the festival’s defining features, helping separate Goldrush from a traditional concert experience.
One of the weekend’s most anticipated additions is the return of the Oasis Pool Party Series at Gila River Resorts & Casinos. The daytime events give festivalgoers a chance to keep the energy going before heading back to Rawhide each evening. Previous pool parties have featured surprise DJ sets, special guests, cabanas, drink specials, and a more intimate party atmosphere compared to the main festival grounds.
Tickets for Goldrush: Midnight Riders are currently on sale at at www.goldrushfestaz.com, with two-day GA, GA+, VIP, and Platinum options are also available, offering perks such as expedited entry, dedicated viewing areas, private bars, and exclusive amenities. Payment plans, shuttle passes, parking, lockers, hotel packages, and official afterparty access are also available for attendees planning the full weekend experience.
With a massive lineup, immersive western production, and the return of the popular Oasis Pool Party Series, Goldrush: Midnight Riders is already shaping up to be one of Arizona’s most anticipated dance music festivals of 2026.
