Following a massive return to the desert last year, Goldrush is bringing the Midnight Riders back to Rawhide Western Town on September 11 and 12 for another weekend of electronic music mayhem in the heart of Arizona.
Produced by Relentless Beats, this year’s edition of Goldrush: Midnight Riders will feature four of dance music’s biggest names leading the charge: Swedish progressive house heavyweight Alesso, legendary Canadian producer deadmau5, future-funk pioneer GRiZ, and Dutch festival anthem architect Martin Garrix.
The western-themed festival will once again transform Rawhide Western Town into a multi-stage electronic music playground complete with large-scale production, immersive visuals, and the old-west atmosphere that helped sell out the festival’s 2025 edition.
Joining the headliners is a stacked supporting lineup spanning bass, house, dubstep, techno, and hard dance. Artists announced for the 2026 edition include 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. Additional artists, including silent disco performers and local talent, will be announced in the coming months.
Also returning for 2026 is the festival’s popular pre-show pool party experience at Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass, located just minutes from the festival grounds. Taking place Saturday, September 12 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in partnership with the renowned Oasis Pool Party Series, the daytime event follows last year’s edition headlined by Benny Benassi. The venue features 17 cabanas, two-day beds, private VIP bars, and full-scale festival production.
Festivalgoers can also purchase hotel and ticket packages through the official festival website, including premium offerings at Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass, which include complimentary pool party access and shuttle transportation to and from the festival.
Two-day ticket sales for Goldrush: Midnight Riders begin Friday, May 29 at 10 a.m. PT. Available options include GA, GA+, VIP, and Platinum passes, alongside festival add-ons such as shuttle passes, lockers, merchandise, parking, and hotel accommodations.
