More than a thousand rowdy revelers and party monsters jammed into Axis-Radius in Scottsdale on Saturday, June 29, for one final fiesta before the iconic Old Town nightclub closed its doors after 16 years. Both parts of the double-sided dance haven were packed with action as the last bash unfolded: Axis served up Top 40 and plenty of bottle-popping fun while Radius featured EDM tracks and club bangers from a number of DJs who spun at the joint over the past decade and a half (including DJ Phantom, LTJ, and Steve LeVine). They even kept the music going after last call, offering a few extra moments of high-energy dancing fun before pulling the plug on one of Scottsdale’s most influential spots.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

$30,000
