Also, there is the 1UP Arcade where you can play tons of arcade games, taste Lightstrike & Voodoo Ranger, and win tickets to upcoming Relentless Beats shows!
Tucked by the Mission Patio, the Patrón & Grey Goose Speakeasy is your luxe escape into craft cocktails, smooth spirits, and intimate vibes. Elegant, exclusive, and perfect for a chilled-late-night pause in the midst of Goldrush’s high energy.

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 do a last minute purchase, you can go all weekend or just a day!
Afterparties and Saturday Pool Party
If you are looking to keep the fun going late into each night and into Saturday afternoon, there are afterparties each night once the festival is over and a pool party on Saturday. The afterparties go from 2am – 5am and will be held at their own separate area within the Events Center grounds. Tickets are required for each of the afterparties. The lineup features Infekt on Friday and Chasewest on Saturday as headliners.
The Oasis Pool Party on Saturday is headlined by Benny Benassi and is at the Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass. This will surely be a vibe and a way to take advantage of the nice weather that this time of year has to offer.
