This just in: Arizona’s festival circuit is getting heavier. This fall, HEX Festival makes its inaugural landing at Rawhide Event Center, bringing a brand-new bass-fueled Halloween experience to the desert. Set for October 30 and 31, the two-night event marks a fresh addition to Arizona’s growing festival calendar. Consequently, spooky season just got a whole lot louder.
Presented by Relentless Beats, HEX leans fully into dark aesthetics, massive production, and a lineup stacked with some of bass music’s most destructive names. The festival will feature headlining sets from Subtronics, Excision, INZO, and ATLiens. Supporting acts include YVM3, HURTBOX, Izzy Vadim, Badklaat, and more rising names from across the heavier spectrum. Just recently announced, LAYZ and Riot Ten b2b PhaseOne join the ritual, bringing one of the heaviest lineups in Rawhide history. One thing is certain: HEX is arriving with some serious weight.
Unlike traditional Halloween festivals, HEX positions itself as a full-scale bass ritual. Rawhide’s western grounds will transform into a haunted bass-fueled playground with two stages, immersive visuals, and eerie, cinematic production design. As a result, fans can expect towering builds, heavy lasers, and an atmosphere built for full sensory overload.
HEX fills that gap with precision, giving bass heads a place to trade costumes for chaos. That alone makes the debut feel significant. Rawhide continues strengthening its grip as Arizona’s bass capital. After major takeovers from Goldrush, Cyclops Desert, and System Overload, the venue now adds another monster to its growing legacy. HEX feels like the next logical evolution.
Tickets are officially on sale through the HEX Festival ticketing website. Given the lineup and Halloween timing, demand will likely move fast. For Arizona’s bass community, this is shaping up to be one of fall’s biggest weekends. And for HEX, this is only the beginning. Grab those tickets now!
