The west is calling, and electronic dance music is answering the call. Goldrush returns to Rawhide Western Town with its Midnight Riders edition on September 11-12, and Relentless Beats has stacked the bill with four headliners it’s billing as the four horsemen of dance music. Swedish progressive house producer Alesso, pioneering Canadian DJ Deadmau5, future-funk multi-instrumentalist Griz, and high-energy Dutch anthem-maker Martin Garrix top a festival that turned sold-out crowds out to the old west town in 2025.
The supporting posse runs deep. AC Slater, Airrica, Boogie T, Broken Hill, CID, Deathpact, Delta Heavy, DJ Pauly D, Dømina, Green Velvet, Idemi, It’s Murph, Joust b2b Mongrel, Kaivon, Know Good, Lady Faith, Midnight Tyrannosaurus, Mitis, Ray Volpe, Riordan, Rossy, Rsquared, Silva Bumpa, Sullivan King, Surf Mesa, Valentino Khan, and Zoey808 fill out the across multiple stages, with top-level production framing the western backdrop. More names, plus silent disco and regional talent, land soon.
The pre-show pool party is back too. Held at Gila River Resorts & Casinos minutes from Rawhide, the daytime bash runs Saturday, September 12, from 11 am to 7 pm in partnership with the Oasis Pool Party Series, one of the Valley’s most celebrated. The setup spans 17 cabanas, day beds, stage tables, and a large VIP area with private bars. Benny Benassi headlined the party last year, and this year’s lineup arrives later.
