After a celebrated return to the desert last year, Goldrush is once again staking its claim in the Wild West. The fan-favorite festival returns to Rawhide Western Town in Chandler, Arizona, on September 11 and 12, bringing with it a massive lineup of electronic music heavyweights and immersive western-inspired production.

Leading the charge for Goldrush: Midnight Riders are four of dance music's most recognizable names: Alesso, Deadmau5, GRiZ, and Martin Garrix. Together, the quartet headlines a weekend designed to transform the historic western backdrop of Rawhide into a sprawling electronic music frontier.

Beyond its marquee headliners, this year's lineup spans a wide range of electronic genres, featuring performances from AC Slater, Boogie T, CID, Deathpact, Delta Heavy, DJ Pauly D, Green Velvet, It's Murph, Kaivon, Lady Faith, Midnight Tyrannosaurus, MitiS, Ray Volpe, Riordan, Rossy, Sullivan King, Surf Mesa, Valentino Khan, Zoey808, and many more. Organizers have also confirmed that additional artists—including silent disco performers and regional talent—will be announced in the coming months.

Building on the momentum of last year's sold-out event, Goldrush will once again feature multiple stages, large-scale production, and immersive themed experiences woven throughout Rawhide's iconic western setting.

One of the festival's most anticipated companion events, the Oasis Pool Party, also returns for 2026. Taking place Saturday afternoon at Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass, the pre-festival celebration will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and promises another day of music, resort-style amenities, and poolside entertainment. The artist lineup for the pool party has yet to be revealed, but tickets are already available in limited quantities.

Festivalgoers looking for a full weekend experience can also take advantage of hotel and ticket packages, including premium accommodations at Wild Horse Pass. Select packages include transportation to and from the festival grounds as well as access to the Oasis Pool Party.

Tickets for Goldrush: Midnight Riders are available across multiple tiers, including General Admission, GA+, VIP, and Platinum options. Additional festival add-ons such as shuttle passes, parking, lockers, merchandise packages, and after-party access are also being offered.

With a lineup that blends festival veterans, bass music favorites, house icons, and rising stars, Goldrush continues to cement itself as one of the Southwest's premier electronic music destinations. As more artists and experiences are still waiting to be unveiled, Midnight Riders is shaping up to be another landmark chapter in the festival's ongoing story.

Goldrush: Midnight Riders is an 18+ event.
