Goldrush Music Festival is Arizona's flagship EDM weekend, returning to Rawhide Western Town in Chandler on September 11–12, 2026 with the 2026 theme "Midnight Riders." Produced by Relentless Beats — Arizona's dominant electronic music promoter — Goldrush has rapidly built its reputation as the must-attend EDM event of the Southwest, drawing 15,000+ attendees from Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and beyond. The Western-themed venue gives Goldrush a visual identity unlike any other U.S. festival.
The 2026 Midnight Riders edition plays out across multiple stages with full production builds, and the programming mixes EDM, bass, and house with underground breakouts and rising talent. We do not list the bill on this page: any lineup information is posted on the festival's official site at https://relentlessbeats.com/.
Rawhide Western Town is one of the most unique festival venues in the U.S. — a re-created 1880s Western town that transforms into a multi-stage electronic music festival every September. The combination of authentic Western architecture, custom EDM stage builds, and the Arizona desert night sky creates an atmosphere that simply doesn't exist anywhere else. The Phoenix-area EDM community shows up in force every Goldrush weekend, making the crowd one of the most enthusiastic and energy-dense in the Southwest. Tickets historically move fast — buy early.
