Decadence Arizona is once again preparing to transform Phoenix Raceway into the Southwest’s ultimate New Year’s Eve destination as it returns on December 30 & 31, 2025 for its monumental 11th edition. Festivalgoers are invited to step through The Portal of Illusions, a reimagined theme that brings an elevated layer of surreal production, immersive art, and high-energy performances to what has become the largest NYE celebration in Arizona.
Each year, thousands gather for a euphoric close to the year—and the 11th rendition promises to take things even further. With Relentless Beats curating another massive two-night experience, attendees can expect cinematic visuals, expansive stage design, and the kind of unforgettable moments that have defined previous editions at Phoenix Raceway, including last year’s milestone 10th anniversary return.
This year’s celebration comes with a twist: a festival theme built around illusion, spectacle, and high-voltage creativity. Whether you want to dance into the new year with Fisher, get lost in the riddim chaos with Subtronics, or find that perfect New Year’s kiss during Zedd’s euphoric set, The Portal of Illusions is shaping up to offer something for every type of dance music fan.
This year also brings one of the most bass-forward lineups the Valley has ever seen. The addition of VOYD, presented by Svdden Death, cements the festival as a haven for bassheads ready to shake the desert to its core. With Svdden Death riding momentum from his three-part VOYD II remix project, and support from giants like Adventure Club, Hamdi, and Tape B, the low-end energy is already reaching explosive levels.
Adding even more excitement, GRiZ returns to the Valley for a special New Year’s Eve performance that will count down the final seconds of 2025. Sharing the stage is none other than Subtronics, raising the question fans are already whispering: could this be the long-awaited return of Griztronics? Anything’s possible when these two titans collide on the same bill.
