In this guide
Where are the NYE raves in 2026?
NYE raves in 2026 come in three waves. Jackpot Festival in Las Vegas takes the weekend before (Dec 26–27), and Temper plays San Diego the night before (Dec 30). Six New Year’s raves run two nights, Dec 30–31, in Denver, Avondale, Dallas, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Nashville. Countdown NYE (San Bernardino) and Proper NYE (San Diego) run from New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day 2027.
We checked every date, venue, and age rule below on each event’s official site or official ticket page on October 4, 2026. Weekdays a site doesn’t print are our calendar math.
Key takeaways
- Proper NYE is the only 21+ event of the ten; the other nine admit 18+.
- One night only? Decadence Colorado sells single nights, and Temper is a one-day event.
- Plan for no re-entry: most events here ban it.

Before NYE: the Jackpot weekend and the night before
Two events come first. Neither official site bills itself as NYE on the page, but both fit an NYE trip.
Jackpot Festival, Las Vegas
Dec 26–27 (Sat–Sun) · 5 PM–1 AM each day · Llama Lot, 900 E Fremont St · 18+ (21+ for alcohol)
Jackpot’s fifth edition takes place the weekend before NYE, at a new venue in Downtown Las Vegas. The festival describes its music as house, dubstep, trap, and bass. It’s cashless and runs rain or shine, with no re-entry. Tickets come as GA or VIP, with single-day tickets to follow.
Official site: jackpotfestlv.com
Temper, San Diego
Dec 30 (Wed) · 3–11 PM · Petco Park · 18+
Temper is LED Presents’ three-stage festival at Petco Park the night before NYE, with Whethan on the lineup. Both passes cover all three stages: the Field Pass puts you on the main-stage floor, and the Festival Pass swaps the floor for lower-bowl stadium seats. If you’re 21+, stay in town. Proper NYE takes over the same ballpark for the next two days.
Official site: temperfest.com
Two-night NYE raves: Wed 30 and Thu 31 Dec
At these six, Wednesday is your warm-up, and Thursday is New Year’s Eve.
Decadence Colorado, Denver
Dec 30–31 (Wed–Thu) · runs 6 PM–2 AM each night · Colorado Convention Center · 18+ (21+ bars)
Global Dance’s Denver edition puts two arenas in the convention center’s exhibit halls and adds a Silent Disco both nights. Even the entry line forms indoors. DJ Snake and Excision play Dec 30, and GRiZ plays Dec 31. GA and VIP come as 2-day or single-night passes, and the coat check is in the lobby. The organizer suggests comfortable shoes and extra water at Denver’s altitude.
Our guide: Decadence Colorado 2026 · Official site: decadencenye.com
Decadence Arizona, Avondale
Dec 30–31 (Wed–Thu) · doors 6 PM, ends 3 AM each night · Phoenix Raceway · 18+ (21+ for alcohol)
Relentless Beats and Global Dance take Decadence to Phoenix Raceway in the West Valley. Chris Lake, Disclosure (DJ Set) and Zomboy are on the lineup, but the site doesn’t say who plays which night. The official site lists only 2-day passes, in four tiers, and Platinum is 21+. A round-trip shuttle runs from Tempe; cars left overnight get towed, and one coat check ticket covers both nights.
Our guide: Decadence Arizona 2026 · Official site: decadencearizona.com
Lights All Night, Dallas
Dec 30–31 (Wed–Thu) · gates 6 PM, ends 3 AM each night · Fair Park · 18+ (21+ for alcohol)
Lights All Night puts its main stages fully indoors and climate-controlled at Fair Park, and it runs rain or shine. Three stages cover house, techno, trance, and bass. GA, GA+ and VIP all include both days, with payment plans. Its own tip is to bring an extra layer for when it gets chilly. Night two runs until 3 AM into New Year’s Day.
Our guide: Lights All Night 2026 · Official site: lightsallnight.com
Eternal NYE, Orlando
Dec 30–31 (Wed–Thu) · Orlando Amphitheater, Central Florida Fairgrounds · 18+
Eternal NYE is an outdoor festival with two stages of bass and dubstep, and on NYE the countdown happens under an open sky, with fireworks at midnight. KNOCK2 plays Dec 30, and Zeds Dead closes Dec 31, with RL Grime also on the lineup. Only 2-day GA and VIP passes are sold, and VIP gets you into the official Afters. The organizer warns that Florida December nights run cool after dark, so layer up.
Our guide: Eternal NYE 2026 · Official site: eternalnye.com
HiJinx, Philadelphia
Dec 30–31 (Wed–Thu) · doors 4 PM ET · Pennsylvania Convention Center · 18+ (21+ for alcohol)
HiJinx runs inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Center City. Tiers go from General Admission to Stinger VIP; VIP adds a pit in front of the HiJinx Stage, and you can’t split a 2-Day Pass. There’s no coat check, but GA+ and every VIP tier get a free locker, and official travel packages use hotels 0.2–0.4 miles away (check-in 21+). The lineup is image-only, and no end time is posted.
Our guide: HiJinx 2026 · Official site: hijinxfest.com
To The Future, Nashville
Dec 30–31 (Wed–Thu) · doors 8 PM, ends 2 AM each night · The Warehouse at the Nashville Fairgrounds · 18+
BLNK CNVS brings To The Future back for 2026 at The Warehouse at the Nashville Fairgrounds, with TAPE B and TROYBOI on its 2026 artist list. There’s no re-entry, and GA and VIP holders must be 18+.
Official site: tothefuturenye.com
NYE into New Year's Day 2027
Both put NYE on night one and keep going on January 1, with 2-day passes only.
Countdown NYE, San Bernardino
Dec 31–Jan 1 (Thu–Fri) · 4 PM–2 AM both days · NOS Events Center · 18+ (VIP and alcohol 21+)
Insomniac’s Countdown is back at NOS Events Center and runs for two days for the first time since 2023. The theme is aliens, with carnival rides, the Galaxy Mall, and five covered stages, among them The Mothership and Area 51. The A–Z lineup includes Alesso and Marshmello. Official afterparties run on the grounds 2–6 AM each night. They’re sold separately; you need a same-day festival ticket, and leaving the venue means no afterparty.

Proper NYE/NYD, San Diego
Dec 31 (Thu) 3 PM–12:30 AM · Jan 1 (Fri) 2–10 PM · Petco Park · 21+
Proper, from FNGRS CRSSD, is the 21+ option of the ten, run as two separate days: NYE night, then New Year’s Day. Its official pages call it a festival. The stages include a Field Stage and a Lot Stage, and Lane 8, Green Velvet, and Sara Landry are on the A–Z lineup. It runs rain or shine. Passes are 2-day only, including a refundable GA ticket you can cancel up to 21 days out (the refundable-ticket fee isn’t returned).
Official site: propernye.com
Decadence Arizona’s official afterparty opens at Phoenix Raceway at 2:30 AM on Friday, Jan 1, with a 6 AM curfew, 18+. It has its own tickets, and the site doesn’t say whether festival passes include it. Afterparty details.
Still going on Jan 2? Fresh Start x Teletech runs Saturday, Jan 2, 2027, 2–11 PM at Pier 80 Warehouse in San Francisco, 21+ (freshstartsf.com).
NYE raves near you: city by city
Where each city stands as of October 4, 2026.
- Seattle: no festival-size NYE event announced. Together As One was last listed for Dec 31, 2024, and Insomniac’s Pacific Northwest calendar has no Seattle date from Dec 30 to Jan 1.
- New York City: nothing festival-size announced. Your closest option on this list is HiJinx in Philadelphia, Dec 30–31.
- Los Angeles: no LA festival announced (Forever Midnight’s site still shows Dec 31, 2024). The nearest is Countdown NYE in San Bernardino.
- Bay Area: no festival announced. ILLENIUM plays a two-night headline show at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Dec 30–31, 18+ (Dec 31 was listed as sold out on October 4), and Fresh Start x Teletech follows on Jan 2.
- Atlanta: United We Dance, a club-scale night at The Masquerade, hasn’t posted a 2026 NYE date, and its venue page still describes last season.
Tickets and ages before you buy
- 21+: only Proper NYE. Everyone else admits 18+, and most require 21 to buy alcohol.
- 21+ extras: Countdown VIP, Decadence Arizona Platinum, Decadence Colorado cabanas, and the official hotel packages for Decadence Arizona, Eternal NYE, and HiJinx.
- ID: bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Jackpot won’t take temporary or paper IDs.
- 2-day passes: Decadence Arizona, Eternal NYE, Countdown, and Proper list 2-day passes only. You can’t split HiJinx’s 2-Day Pass, and Lights All Night’s passes cover both days. Decadence Colorado sells single nights, and Jackpot’s single-day tickets come later.
- Payment plans: Decadence Colorado (until Dec 14), Decadence Arizona, Lights All Night, HiJinx and Proper; layaway at Countdown and Eternal NYE.
- Afterparties: Countdown’s are sold separately from festival passes, Decadence Arizona’s has its own tickets (the site doesn’t say whether passes include it), and Eternal NYE’s VIP includes its Afters.
- Where to buy: use the ticket link on each official site. Countdown sells only through Front Gate Tickets, and Lights All Night’s official resale partner is Tixel.
Most events here ban re-entry, so read our rave festival safety tips before you go.
Choosing your NYE rave: one night or two?
Pick the number of nights first, then filter by venue and travel.
- For one night: Temper on Dec 30, or a Decadence Colorado single-night pass for Dec 31.
- For two nights, the six Dec 30–31 events save New Year’s Eve for night two; Countdown and Proper start on NYE and put night two on New Year’s Day.
- To stay out of the cold: Decadence Colorado is indoors, down to the entry line; Lights All Night’s main stages are indoors, and HiJinx is inside a convention center. Eternal NYE is an outdoor festival, Jackpot and Proper run rain or shine, and Countdown’s stages are covered.
- Two events, one trip: Jackpot ends at 1 AM on Monday, Dec 28, before the Dec 30–31 events start, and in San Diego, Temper and Proper share Petco Park on back-to-back days.
Staying warm on New Year's Eve
Our winter rave outfits guide covers layering and your coat at the door. On this list, Decadence Arizona sells one coat check ticket for both nights, and HiJinx has no coat check, only lockers. Heading to Proper? Its info page, still labeled for last season, lists rave attire as heavily discouraged, so keep it low-key there.
Going as a crew? Put one design on everyone, with “27” or each person’s name on the back. We can print names and numbers or stitch them (embroidery costs extra, quoted before you pay), and we confirm on the mockup what stitches cleanly. Many of our festival crews order 10–50 matching jerseys. No minimum: under 10 pieces, start at custom jerseys; 10 or more get a bulk quote.
Three layers for an NYE rave
