Relentless Beats' newest festival arrives at Rawhide Event Center on October 30–31 with Subtronics, Excision, INZO, ATLiens, and one of the heaviest Halloween lineups Arizona has seen.
Arizona's fall festival calendar is about to welcome a new addition. This October, Relentless Beats will launch the inaugural HEX Festival, a two-night event taking over Rawhide Event Center on October 30 and 31. Built around the heavier side of bass music, the festival combines a lineup of established headliners and emerging artists with immersive production designed specifically for Halloween weekend.
Leading the inaugural lineup are Subtronics, Excision, INZO, and ATLiens, joined by YVM3, HURTBOX, Izzy Vadim, Badklaat, and a growing roster of artists from across the bass music landscape. Organizers recently expanded the bill with the addition of LAYZ and a special Riot Ten b2b PhaseOne performance, adding another high-profile collaboration to one of Arizona's strongest electronic lineups of the fall.
A New Halloween Tradition
Rather than centering the weekend around costumes alone, HEX is being built as a fully immersive festival experience. Rawhide's western streets will be transformed with two stages, large-scale visual production, themed installations, lighting, lasers, and cinematic design intended to complement the darker atmosphere of Halloween.
The debut festival also arrives at a time when Arizona's bass music community continues to grow. Over the past several years, fans have embraced larger destination events across the state, creating room for a Halloween festival dedicated entirely to heavier electronic music. HEX enters that landscape with a concept focused as much on the environment as the performances themselves.
Rawhide's Expanding Festival Legacy
HEX also marks another chapter in Rawhide Event Center's evolution as one of Arizona's premier homes for electronic music festivals. The venue has become synonymous with Relentless Beats productions, hosting annual events including Goldrush, Cyclops Desert, and System Overload, each drawing thousands of fans from across the Southwest.
Adding a Halloween festival to that calendar feels like a natural progression. While each event has developed its own identity, HEX introduces something new by combining the theatrical atmosphere of the holiday with a lineup centered almost entirely on bass music, giving Arizona fans another destination event during one of the busiest weekends of the year.
Tickets are on sale now through the official HEX Festival website. With Halloween weekend, a debut event, and one of the season's deepest bass lineups all coming together, the festival is already shaping up to be one of Arizona's marquee electronic music weekends this fall.
