Due to a last-minute dropout from DIESEL due to medical circumstances, Relentless Beats brought in ISOxo to make his Arizona debut in his place at PHXLIGHTS this year. Festival goers can look forward to some heavy-hitting sets from Martin Garrix, San Holo, Ganja White Night, and more! Historically, this festival is known to lean towards the heavier side of the electronic music spectrum, so you know there will be no shortage of head-banging and lung-rattling.
To help you get prepped for the weekend ahead, we’ve curated all the information you need to know before you head out to PHXLIGHTS this year. Read on for the set times, festival map, and other important info, and grab those last-minute tickets if you haven’t yet!
