While the 2024 edition featured on-site camping, the 2025 festival will not offer camping passes due to limited availability. In a heartfelt message to fans, organizers shared:

“After an amazing first year of Coconino Campout, we listened to our community and it was clear that we needed to move to a weekend that would allow more fans to join us—but with that change came an unexpected challenge: limited camping availability which is preventing us from offering camping passes for this year’s event.”

Instead of delaying the vibes, they chose to embrace the challenge and invite the community back without on-site camping. Staying true to their roots, they’ve curated a comprehensive guide to nearby campgrounds and lodging, helping everyone keep the campout spirit alive. The guide is available now on their website.

Tickets are live now, with single-day and two-day passes, plus flexible payment plans. The event remains 18+, perfect for adult fans craving both music and nature.

Mission Success: Zeds Dead

Intergalactic happiness was spread at Rawhide Event Center with Zeds Dead taking the stage, and boy oh boy was it a Mission Success. Once again, Relentless Beats organized an outstanding show with Zeds Dead, Tape B, Truth, and Sippy! Zeds Dead’s Return to the Spectrum of Interglactic Happiness tour has been a hot topic all over social media, and for good reason; it was one of the best shows of the season at Rawhide. Everything from the ease of access through security and the PLUR of the crowd to the insane production made Zeds Dead a night to remember.

Sippy, an Australian native, brought her flair from down under. She had all the Aussie Aussie Aussie pink pony girls dancing the night away. Rocking her iconic fuzzy glasses, Sippy got the crowd pumped with her feral, carefree stage antics. Never underestimate the openers! Sippy is already a powerhouse and will soon be a household name. She played pop punk remixes with her deep bass lines and drops. When the two genres blend, it adds a nostalgic component to the set, making the dance party much more exciting! 

Truth was wonky and surreal, as he pulled the crowd into an alternate dimension, where reality wobbled and shifted. His visuals sliced through the night sky, unlocking your third eye. The crowd was entranced, and Truth left them craving more. On this journey to the next dimension, the lasers were doing what they do to illuminate the way.

Tape B commanded the stage with electrifying energy, completely captivating the crowd! His unique sound had everyone jumping and dancing throughout his set. By this point in the night, Rawhide was packed, and the walls were practically shaking from the intensity of his performance. His tracks were masterfully flipped, mixed, and bursting with vibrancy!

It was over 100 degrees, but that didn’t come close to the heat that Zeds Dead brought to The Valley! Who says being a Deadbeat is a bad thing? From the moment they took the stage, you could feel the passion and ecstasy radiating from them. This Canadian duo recently released their sophomore album, and on theme, they had multiple TVs in front of their decks, which added an extra dimension to their performance. The laser display was amazing! The slow, heavy buildups shook the walls as they delivered a two-hour, jam-packed set filled with all their hits. Everything about this performance was perfection!

It felt like a sold-out show, but with PLUR present throughout the crowd, everyone was fanned one way or another! Keep up with Relentless Beats for updates on upcoming shows at Rawhide Event Center and around the Southwest, as they’re likely to sell out quickly!
