Just when the dust had begun to settle on the news of Goldrush returning to Rawhide Western Town after a three-year hiatus, Relentless Beats has reignited the excitement by dropping a heavyweight lineup for its flagship, Wild West-themed festival. Set for September 12 and 13, Goldrush: The Return to the West promises a full-throttle weekend of music, spectacle, and immersive production across multiple stages within the old western town that’s become legendary in Arizona’s festival lore.

Leading the charge are bass titan Excision, the global debut of Illenium B2B Zeds Dead, and Major Lazer Soundsystem. They’ll be joined by a wide-ranging mix of artists including Crandat, Disco Lines, Arius presents Prism Warp, Benny Benassi, ChaseWest, Dennett, Destructo, Drinkurwater, Eliminate, Getter (Resurrection Set), HI-LO, IIglesias (Hybrid Live), Infekt, Kompany, Kyle Watson, LF System, Nikita, The Wicked, Ninajirachi, Rinzen, Roddy Lima, Showtek (Hardstyle Set), Slamm B2B Dan Molinari, Space Laces, Steller, Sub Zero Project, Versa B2B MVRDA, Wax Motif, Wilkinson, and William Black.

More artists—including silent disco performers and regional favorites—will be announced soon, expanding a bill that already delivers a massive punch for fans of bass, house, techno, and beyond.

New for 2024, Goldrush introduces a shimmering addition to its lineup of experiences: a pre-show pool party at Gila River Resorts & Casinos, just minutes from the main event. The daytime oasis takes place Saturday, September 13, from 11 AM to 7 PM, in partnership with the acclaimed Oasis Pool Party Series, recently named Best Pool Party in the Valley by Phoenix New Times. The venue includes 17 cabanas, daybeds, VIP tables, private bars, and state-of-the-art production. Lineup details for the pool party are still under wraps, but limited tickets are already on sale.

Afterparties for both Friday and Saturday nights will also return, with pre-lineup ticket pricing available now for a limited time.

Festival-goers can take advantage of hotel and ticket packages, including premium offerings from Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass, which come with complimentary pool party access and shuttle service to and from the festival grounds. Packages and tickets are available at www.goldrushfestaz.com.

All two-day ticket tiers—including GA, GA+, VIP, and Platinum—go on sale Friday, June 6 at 10 AM PT. A special 4-pack GA bundle is being offered at a discounted rate of $149 per ticket for a limited time. Fans can also purchase shuttle passes, lockers, parking, merch, and more through the official site.
