The second edition of Goldrush Music Festival is just days away and if you want to stay in the know we’ve got your essentials right here!
My first adventure out to Arizona for Goldrush Music Festival was a great experience and I can’t wait to return this weekend for another adventure on September 29 – 30 at the Rawhide Western Town and Event Center. This year’s lineup for Goldrush Music Festival shed away the hip-hop and instead has included some of the biggest names in the dance music scene. We’re sure that notable sets will come from Deadmau5, Illenium, Steve Aoki, and so many others who are set to take the stage over the weekend!
It’s important to make sure you’re informed before you head out to the festival, so below you’ll be able to find everything you need to know for this weekend at Goldrush AZ. If you need help choosing which ones to catch, be sure to check out my top picks for this weekend. The weather is looking pretty warm with temperatures in the high 90’s and scattered showers on Sunday, so dress accordingly and get ready to rage!
