The legend rides again. Relentless Beats is proud to announce the long-awaited return of its flagship, western-themed music festival—Goldrush: The Return to the West—taking place September 12–13, 2025, at the beloved Rawhide Western Town. After a three-year hiatus, the dust will rise once more as fans gather at the historic site that helped shape Arizona’s dance music culture.
Goldrush’s unique frontier vibe meets cutting-edge production with multiple stages nestled throughout Rawhide’s old western town, complete with a general store, saloon, blacksmith, and other Wild West staples. Over the years, this immersive festival has hosted some of the biggest names in dance music, including Above & Beyond, Alesso, The Chainsmokers, Diplo, Illenium, Zeds Dead, San Holo, Green Velvet, and many more. With past editions bringing thunderous beats to the desert, fans can expect another legendary lineup to be revealed in the coming weeks.
