With festival season already in full force, venues across the US are still pushing out more heavy-hitting lineups for 2023. Relentless Beats recently announced Goldrush: Sonoran Skies, planned for October 7-8 at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, AZ. Arizona festival fans know Goldrush Festival for featuring a massive range of electronic artists in 2022, and the 2023 edition will continue to raise the bar. Featuring an array of house, dubstep, and future bass legends, this two-day event will represent an EDM variety pack for ravers from the southwest and around the world.
Last year, Relentless Beats sold out all of their Goldrush tickets, reaching 20,000 attendees. Tickets for the 2023 event go on sale Friday, June 9 at 10 am PDT.

Tiësto at Sonoran Skies
Tiësto will perform as one of the Goldrush headliners, bringing his iconic brand of house/trance production. His current tour includes dozens of summer and fall 2023 events. Going from Escapade Music Festival to Tomorrowland to Sonoran Skies, Tiësto continues to solidify himself as a decades-long mainstay of the dance scene.
Zeds Dead
Also currently touring, the highly-acclaimed electronic duo Zeds Dead will bring a powerful set to the Goldrush: Sonoran Skies stage. While their hits often center around deep, melodic house, fans of Zeds Dead also know them for their eclectic sound. Zeds Dead collaborated with the likes of future bass giant NGHTMRE, dubstep icon GRiZ, and bass house pioneer Jauz all within the past year, proving their versatility.
ZHU
House producer extraordinaire ZHU also headlines Goldrush, bringing silky-smooth percussive grooves and deep, rumbling basslines. With club hits like “Faded” and “Working For It” (in collaboration with Skrillex and THEY.), ZHU has an extensive discography to draw from for a surely jaw-dropping set. Zhu’s latest single, “Revelations,” explores a new side to his production- maybe fans will hear more of that prior to his Goldrush: Sonoran Skies performance this October.
Slushii
EDM innovator Slushii will also take the stage. From groundbreaking dubstep releases on Monstercat to melancholic chill tracks, Slushii’s clean yet vibrant production provides a breath of fresh air to EDM fans around the world. He brings an uplifting and high-energy performance style in terms of visuals, pyrotechnics, mixing, and transitions.
