Your guide to EDM festival Decadence Arizona: Set times, tickets and more

There’s no shortage of New Year’s Eve celebrations both large and small in the Valley in 2024.

The biggest party, however, is happening out at Phoenix Raceway, where Decadence Arizona — the two-night electronic dance music festival and massive New Year’s Eve extravaganza — will be going off.

This year’s Decadence Arizona, happening on Monday and Tuesday, promises to be bigger than ever — and for good reason: It marks the festival’s 10th anniversary.

Thomas Turner, the promoter behind Decadence Arizona, anticipates a crowd of over 50,000 attendees.

“It’s going to be the biggest event we’ve ever put on,” Turner says.

And he’s not just talking about the turnout. Decadence Arizona 2024 will boast four stages, production effects like lasers and pyrotechnics, a silent disco, roaming performers, dozens of vendors and sets by more than 50 superstar DJ/producers. The lineup includes deadmau5, Excision, Dom Dolla, Zeds Dead, Mau P, Tchami, Malaa and dozens more.
