You asked, we answered: this year’s Goldrush festival will return to the beloved Rawhide Western Town in Chandler, AZ on September 12-13th. Slated to be one of the top festivals of 2025, the lineup is a heaven-sent list of electronic music talent, anchored by some big names like Excision, Illenium b2b Zeds Dead, Disco Lines, Crankdat, Major Lazer, and even bigger vibes.
Goldrush 2022 (the last Goldrush that took place at Rawhide) featured the first-ever b2b from Zeds Dead and GRiZ, which went down in history as one of the most iconic debuts of all time. This year, we’re keeping the theme going with a historic, first-ever Illenium b2b Zeds Dead set that’s already got the entire bass community in a frenzy. Imagine Illenium’s heart-wrenching melodies colliding with Zeds Dead’s euphoric, genre-blurring bass; this is the kind of back-to-back history that you simply cannot miss out on.
Oh, and speaking of legends, Getter is resurrecting himself out of a three-year hiatus, and the hype is REAL. After stepping back from his heavier alias, his return to the stage as Getter is promising to be one of the most exciting moments of the festival. Expect filthy drops, nostalgic throwbacks, and maybe even a tear or two from longtime fans.
Goldrush delivers an electrifying mix of genres that goes far beyond just bass music (though let’s be honest, there’s enough earth-shaking wubs here to satisfy even the most devoted headbangers). The lineup spans across the electronic spectrum, from Showtek‘s hardstyle mastery and Wilkinson‘s drum & bass energy to Space Laces‘ and Excision’s dubstep dominance. Those craving house and techno vibes get treated to Wax Motif‘s funky grooves and HI-LO‘s techy beats, while Disco Lines, Kompany, William Black and others ensure there’s not a single weak spot across the entire schedule. Every set time becomes a hard decision with this much talent.
And let’s talk about the elephant in the room… or should we say, the dinosaur. Excision is bringing his mind-boggling visuals to the desert, and with Lost Lands just two weeks later, you know he’ll be rinsing some fresh IDs and unreleased fire. Consider this your exclusive preview of what’s coming to Ohio.
Between the groundbreaking Illenium b2b Zeds Dead debut, Getter’s resurrection, and Goldrush’s return to Rawhide, this is where legends collide under the desert sky. The Rawhide setting transforms into a wild western ground for music lovers, offering that perfect mix of intimate vibes and jaw-dropping production. One thing’s certain: when the dust settles on this Arizona weekend, you’ll either be there living the dream… or stuck at home watching the videos. Choose wisely.
