As 2026 draws to a close, Decadence Arizona: Sands of Eternity is preparing to send fans into 2027 with two nights of electronic music, immersive production and larger-than-life festival experiences. Produced by Relentless Beats and Global Dance, the annual New Year’s Eve celebration will return to Phoenix Raceway on December 30 and 31, with its Phase One lineup bringing together international headliners, rising artists and genre-spanning electronic acts.
The twelfth annual edition of Decadence Arizona is built around the theme “Sands of Eternity,” turning the passing of time into the central concept for this year’s celebration. The festival promises a journey through the past and into the future as fans gather to bid farewell to 2026 and welcome 2027.
A Lineup Built for the Countdown to 2027
The first wave of artists features a mix of established electronic music names and emerging acts, with Beltran, Bunt., Chris Lake, Eli Brown, I Hate Models, ISOxo, Kettama, Levity, The Masquerade, Max Dean b2b Luke Dean, RØZ, Slander and Wankdat (Crankdat b2b Wooli) among the announced performers.
The lineup is designed to move across different corners of the electronic music landscape, bringing together house, techno, bass and festival-driven sounds across two nights. More artists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, along with a special countdown set that will mark the moment the festival officially enters 2027.
With the final hours of the year serving as the centerpiece, the festival’s programming will give attendees the opportunity to experience multiple performances and productions before gathering for the midnight celebration.
Two Nights at Phoenix Raceway
Decadence Arizona will once again transform Phoenix Raceway into a large-scale New Year’s Eve destination. Across December 30 and 31, attendees can expect high-level production, festival installations and activations throughout the grounds.
The event will also bring back its Weird and Wonderful performers, adding theatrical and experiential elements to the musical programming. Additional artists, performers and activations will be revealed ahead of the festival.
Presented in partnership with Global Dance, the event continues Decadence Arizona’s tradition of turning New Year’s Eve into an immersive festival experience rather than a single-night concert.

Two-day tickets across General Admission, GA+, VIP and Platinum levels will go on sale Friday, July 31 at 10 a.m. PT. An early-access presale will begin July 30 at 10 a.m. PT, with fans able to register ahead of the sale.
Beyond festival admission, attendees will have access to a range of optional experiences and services, including table reservations for guests aged 21 and over, shuttles, lockers, parking, merchandise and official afterparties.

A New Year’s Tradition Reimagined
With Sands of Eternity, Decadence Arizona continues its tradition of giving its annual celebration a distinct visual and thematic identity. The hourglass concept provides a fitting framework for an event built around the final moments of one year and the first moments of another.
The festival’s organizers are positioning the 2026 edition as a celebration of time itself, bringing together music, production, performers and immersive experiences as fans make their final memories of 2026.
As additional artists and activations are announced, the festival’s Phase One lineup provides the first look at what Decadence Arizona has planned for its return to Phoenix Raceway. The event will culminate on December 31 with the countdown into 2027, giving attendees a chance to welcome the new year surrounded by thousands of fellow festivalgoers.
