Goldrush Sonoran Skies Music Festival – Where Music Meets the Wild West

October 13, 2023

Relentless Beats wraps a stellar weekend with star-studded lineup at the Phoenix Raceway for Goldrush Sonoran Skies Music Festival.

This past weekend festival goers arrived at the Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona for Goldrush Music Festival. This two day festival hosted by Relentless Beats welcomed attendees to five different stages showcasing all different types of electronic dance music.

Goldrush Sonoran Skies intertwined a wild west theme into the festival experience. Stages influenced the desert theme with names such as Paradise Prairie, Moonrise Mountain, Coyote Cove and Cowboy Corral silent disco. The location of the festival was unlike anything else as you could see mountains in the distance from the festival grounds.

Day one showcased performances from Nostalgix, Champagne Drip, ATliens, Cloonee, Kayzo, Alison Wonderland and more. While Sunday had performances from Hamdi, Madeon, Jessica Audiffred, Kai Wachi and ZHU.

Saturday had an epic performance from Brondo who threw down on Moonrise Mountain. It was his first time performing at Goldrush and he did not disappoint. With next level production his disgusting bass was extremely memorable. The crowd was electrified by the dirty drops you could feel in your chest and lasers adding an extra element to the set.

Day two the vibes were high as the heat let up in time for the start of the festival. By 7 PM people rushed over to Paradise Prairie for Hamdi’s performance on the main stage. Fans were excited to be welcomed with new music as he dropped an unreleased track that left everyone going nuts.

Shortly following this was Lady Faith’s performance. Being known as America’s #1 Hardstyle DJ, she really brought the energy with an outstanding set. As a staple in the hardstyle scene, fans flocked to watch her perform on Moonrise Mountain where she showcased her energetic and fast paced hits.

Attendees also had the added element of Highland Park which was an area of the festival that sold cannabis infused products. On either side of this area was the Cowboy Corral Silent Disco as well as the Sound Cabin Art Car. This was the perfect area to discover new music, explore new vendors, and take advantage of photo opportunities.

Goldrush Sonoran Skies was a beautifully curated festival in Avondale, Arizona. The stacked lineup across two days left attendees with the opportunity to see so many amazing artists, explore various art installations, and shop a wide variety of vendors throughout. Phoenix Raceway proved to be a wonderful setting for this event and we cannot wait for next year!
