We have less than three days left in 2025, and we are rapidly barreling towards a New Year! The Relentless Beats team has been hard at work prepping to host the two-day extravaganza that is Decadence Arizona. For the past two weeks, they’ve been cooking up a New Year’s playland at Phoenix International Raceway. I don’t know about you, but the Fresh Music Freaks squad is positively itching to get back on the Decadence dance floor! Will we be seeing you?
The RB Team has dropped an end-of-year goody bag in the form of festival logistics galore! They answered the two biggest questions weighing on all attendees. Where will I be and when!? Take a look at the festival map to get a sense of the overall layout. There is one HUGE benefit of hosting this event at PIR. The first pro is that the whole venue is on relatively flat and evenly paved ground. With a rainy two days heading towards the valley, this arena of asphalt will prove to be much easier to navigate than the more rough and rugged terrain of Rawhide, where many local events are held.
A few highlights from the map show us the two main stages nestled within a slew of other activities and experiences to explore. Something to note is the split entrances for GA and all other ticket types. While this may initially appear to be elitist and in poor taste, this will actually help in maintaining crowd density at the entrances and help disperse a nearly sold-out event. Before you jump into the event headfirst, make sure you take a minute to orient yourself to the important amenities like bathrooms, market areas, and medical support.
SET TIMES
This will take care of the “where” of the event, but what about the “when“? With over 100 acts slated across 8 stages, you have a smorgasbord of options… but you can only be in one place at a time! Set times are ready for you to pour over and make your game plan to hit every single MUST-SEE set of your festival experience! Speaking of, if you need a quick rundown on some of our faves, check out this article. Below is the full schedule for day one, December 30th!
Decadence Arizona Day One Schedule – December 30th
Decadence Arizona Day Two Schedule – December 31st
And of course, day two, December 31st, is available to be perfectly primed for a stellar New Year’s Countdown! You have four different options across the Grand Palace, the Royal Ballroom, the Conservatory, and the Playhouse. Will you be ringing in the New Year with GRiZ, Green Velvet, Wakyin, or Aftershock Takeover? With GRiZ scheduled to pilot us into 2026 as one of his first major appearances post-hiatus, you can expect a dense crowd for his set!
Tickets are nearly all scooped up, with GA on New Year’s Eve being completely sold out already! Be sure to grab those last-minute tickets sooner rather than later, or you’ll be ringing in 2026 with much less bass and lasers than you could have. Snag those tickets here!
