The inaugural Better Together festival in the Phoenix area is almost here so it is time to start getting ready for all those that are heading out there this weekend. The festival features some of the biggest house artists in the world and should be a rowdy time with great music throughout the two days. With the event right around the corner, this Friday and Saturday, we are here to give you all the info that you need to know before the festival.
ARTISTS & SET TIMES
The complete list of artists and their set times can be seen below. There is only one stage so there will be no worry in artist conflicts. The event starts a bit early, at 4pm and runs through midnight so be sure to prepare for that, especially on Friday where you may run into some traffic on the way to the festival grounds.
VENUE
The venue is the Rawhide Festival Grounds which is located in Chandler, just outside of Phoenix. This is a familiar venue for many of the locals and is an old favorite. There was a bit of a hiatus for events at the venue but Relentless Beats, the festival producer, has returned to the grounds for a handful of one-stage events like this one. Most recently, John Summit headlined the grounds and if Better Together is anything like that event, you are in for a treat as the venues contains plenty of space to make it easy to spread out and have a good view of the stage. There is parking on-site for those who want to drive but it is definitely recommended to take a rideshare to the event so you can be safe!
AFTERPARTY
With the event ending at midnight, that leaves some time to keep the party going afterwards. On Saturday, Channel Tres (DJ set) will be headlining the official Better Together afterparty down the street at the Showroom at Wild Horse Pass. Tickets are available now so grab them while they’re hot to ensure you are not missing out on any of the fun this weekend.

TICKETS
If you are still in need of tickets, you can still get them online and at the door as long as it doesn’t say they are sold out when trying to make a purchase online. Single day and two-day tickets are still available so if you are looking to make a last minute purchase, you can go all weekend or just a day. This should be a treat of an event and features a lineup of artists that don’t make their way out to Arizona too often so this is one to go to.
WRAPPING IT UP
This is all you need to know before heading to the festival on Friday. The weather has gotten chilly here out in the desert at night so be sure to dress warm. Enjoy the weekend, be safe, and have a great weekend filled with amazing house music!
