If you haven’t rang in the new year during a Chris Lake set, can you say you rightfully rang in the new year? Arizona’s largest New Year’s Eve celebration is back this December 30-January 1 in Goodyear as Decadence AZ: Age Of Indulgence. As last year’s theme was “Ancient Future,” ravers of this new year (and upcoming next year) are continuing the exploration of Relentless Beats’ alternate worlds of entertainment and lore of carefully curated EDM soundscapes.

Welcoming to Arizona’s stage for the first time on this lineup is Deadmau5, Dr. Fresch, Excision, and Zeds Dead. Grab your tickets here before it's too late! 

Event and Lineup

2-day passes start at $229. If you’re looking for an enhanced experience, GA+ VIP passes, and tables are also available for purchase. For all tickets and extras to provide accommodations, visit the official Decadence AZ website.  

Travel and Hotels

Arriving and exiting the event with a designated driver and vehicle is the best case scenario for transportation as parking is always free; premium parking is available. Plus, uber rides may become too expensive at 2am or not enough drivers are able to complete your transformation request (speaking from experience).

New ravers: it’s never too early to buy a ticket/travel package when phase one of every lineup is released. Travel and ticket packages make ravers’ lives easier with travel arrangements, but as of right now, ticket and hotel packages are sold out! 

After landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) and checking into a nearby hotel, a 30-minute uber ride is required to arrive at Phoenix Raceway. Goodyear, Arizona is a neighboring city with plenty of hotels and access to ubers/rideshare. In fact, Goodyear is closer to Phoenix Raceway than Phoenix.

As always, Relentless Beats offers shuttle packages for roundtrip transportation from Downtown Tempe which is 25 minutes away from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. If absolutely necessary, it can be wise to buy a shuttle pass and request an Ubur transportation from the shuttle stop in Tempe because Tempe is a college town with many Lyft/Ubur drivers ready to bring you home! 

What to Wear to Decadence AZ 2023

Staying warm is the name of the game for this late December adventure, but go ahead and express yourself! Layer, layer, layer! It may not be muddy on the raceway, but it’ll be wet puddles and soaked shoes if Mother Nature’s rain joins the fever for frolicking.

What to Bring to Groove in Cozy Comfort 

Even in Arizona, winter brings wet showers and low temperatures. Bring the following items below to stay warm and dry on the dance floor. 

• Umbrella
• Raincoat
• Rain boots or footwear designed for puddles and mud 
• An extra hoodie or jacket to keep in a rentable locker or leave with coat check on the festival grounds (in case you hate feeling like a wet cat in the rain) 

After-Parties 

Can you name a better way to ring in the new year than seeing the sunrise after leaving the after-party? After Deca night 2, an after party for the nightcrawlers is guaranteed to sell out as  tickets are listed at $40 for sale here and must be purchased with your single-day or weekend pass. The performing artists and lineup for the after-party hasn’t been announced yet, but Relentless Beats after parties never disappoint as the experience becomes increasingly immersive with your favorite headliners!
