Goldrush RETURNS TO ARIZONA FOR 2 ELECTRIC NIGHTS
Goldrush has cemented its reputation not just as Arizona’s premier EDM festival but as a must- attend event across the entire Pacific Southwest. With five distinct stages, it offers ravers the perfect balance of high-energy bangers and chill-out zones, creating a space where you can fully immerse yourself in the chaos or find moments to regroup and recharge.
When I arrived, my game plan was to start slow and build up to the headliners. At a festival like this, pacing is everything if you want to keep the energy going all night. The Cowboy Corral was the perfect spot to ease into the night—a medium-energy, low-vibe zone featuring the ever-popular silent disco, where ravers can cut loose and groove to their own rhythm in the midst of others doing the same. Next, I hit Coyote Cove, where San Pacho and Omnom delivered underground club vibes, turning the crowd into one big pulsating organism. The intimate setting and hypnotic beats felt like an after-hours hideaway you stumble into at 3 AM.
As the night progressed, I found myself at Moonrise Mountain, where the energy exploded with INZO B2B Mersiv, Deathpact, and Sullivan King, delivering the type of high-octane sets that EDM lovers dream of. It was a non-stop rollercoaster of bass drops and melodic buildups, leaving everyone craving more. Before heading to the main stage at Paradise Prairie, I hit the Sound Cabin to catch my breath—a laid-back oasis featuring hammocks, swings, and even pirate ship decor complete with flaming cannons. But it was the headliners at Paradise Prairie that stole the show. Alesso, Black Tiger Sex Machine, Slander, and The Chainsmokers took the energy to astronomical levels, each delivering unforgettable performances that left the crowd electrified.
Goldrush 2024 was more than just a rave; it was an immersive experience, a journey through different realms of sound and space that had every raver leaving with memories they’ll be buzzing about for weeks.
