Thousands of excited fans flooded the festival grounds for the second day of Decadence, as the anticipation began to build for the special New Year's Eve countdown. I kicked off the second day by visiting some of the vendors present throughout the festival and even grabbing some merch.

As the night progressed, I made my way to the Grand Palace, which was hosting many notable acts. First, Canadian duo Zeds Dead delivered a stunning set that captivated the crowd as they moved effortlessly between tracks, encapsulating different genres and vibes. Most notably, the duo played "Ecstasy Of Soul," which sent the crowd into a total frenzy. House DJ/Producer Mau P then took the stage for a fun set full of dance hits such as "Gimme That Bounce" and "Drugs From Amsterdam." His vibrant set kept the crowd on their feet until the very end as he closed his set with a hard-hitting dubstep remix of "Cinema" that shocked the crowd.

As midnight approached, both main stages filled with massive crowds, with Crankdat and Riot Ten hosting the B2B of Dog Eat Dog at Royal Ballroom and tech house DJ/Producer John Summit at Grand Palace. John Summit's infectious stage presence paired with his hit tracks left me in awe. 15 minutes into his set, as the house to drum and bass track "Go Back" neared its drop, the countdown to the new year appeared on screen. As the festival-goers welcomed the new year, confetti showered the crowd, followed by an extravagant balloon drop.

After the crowd officially welcomed in 2025, ISOxo took the stage for a jaw-dropping set full of heavy drops and thrilling energy, while encouraging the crowd to mosh and jump. Alas, the night came to a close during the early hours of January first as Mexican-American DJ Deorro closed out Decadence AZ.
