If you’ve been waiting until the last minute, this is your last chance to grab your tickets and get ready for the weekend.

Afterparties and Saturday Pool Party

Looking to keep the party going long after the festival ends? You’re in luck. Official afterparties will take over each night from 2am to 5am, within the Events Center grounds keeping the energy going until the early morning hours. Tickets are required for each afterparty, with Boogie T headlining Friday night and Valentino Khan rounding things out Saturday.

Headlined by Pauly D, the event will take place at Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass, giving you the perfect excuse to soak in the Arizona sun while keeping the party vibes alive. With great weather, a stacked lineup and a dose of poolside energy, it’s a fitting way to keep the party rolling.
