Prepare for the Burial: GRAVEDGR’s Final Tour Stop Is Bringing the Pain To Darkstar

He may look like the villain in a 2000s slasher flick, but GRAVEDGR is the unlikely hero that Hard Dance didn’t know it needed. Masked and a absolute menace, the producer/DJ has carved his name deep into the underground, blending Hard Trap, Hard Techno, and Hardcore into a signature sound that’s both brutal and poetic. Now, as he closes out his BDAY Tour, all roads lead to Darkstar in Tempe for one final, untamed night.

GRAVEDGR kicked off 2025 with a vengeance, dropping See You in My Dreams and Not in My League, a haunting two-track EP on the iconic Dutch label, Verknipt Records. Since then, he’s kept his foot on the gas, releasing “Villain” with Hades, “Take Your Soul” with NZGÛL, and two crushing collaborations with longtime ally Junkie Kid. The duo first reworked Luciid’s “Bye Bye” into a banger, followed by their original track “El Sistema,” a Hardcore-laced tribute to the underground rave scene that hits as hard as it speaks.

This week, GRAVEDGR will be decimating dance floors all the way from Manchester to San Francisco, with him wrapping up his BDAY Tour with one last massacre – August 10th at none other than Darkstar in Tempe. Known for its underground energy and elevated production, Darkstar has become a sanctuary for Arizona’s bass and techno lovers. The newly remodeled venue features a sleek lobby bar and a main room armed with strobes, lasers, and a top-tier PK sound system built to rattle souls. It’s the perfect arena for the Hard Techno Undertaker to deliver his final blow.

The funeral rites will begin with VNLO, a Hard Techno enthusiast whose dark, driving sounds are going to set a proper vibe. Next up, Industrial Techno OG Krista Bourgeois will deliver a LIVE analog performance, sure to melt minds with modular synths, heavy hardware, and raw sonic pressure.

Then, the lights go dark. The fog rolls in. And GRAVEDGR takes the stage to bury this tour once and for all.

If Hard Dance is your thing, this might just be a “Show of the Year” candidate. Come ready. Come early. And come prepared — because this one’s going six feet deep.
