A glance at tomorrow begins with the imagination of today. Decadence Arizona is on the rise and preparing us for our biggest year yet. As we anticipate the new year, 2023 has us planning for tomorrow. A new day, a new year, a new adventure with more grand accomplishments. But for now, here we are reminiscing about 2022 which has been a year of adventure, a few challenges, change, and the foundation of your tomorrow. Look at you. You’ve come so far and you should celebrate those successes by celebrating yourself. Cheers to having one last moment of enjoying the year 2022. Cheers to you. Cheers to the new year. It’s time to embrace the future of you at Decadence Arizona. Grab your tickets before this sells out. And be sure to also get tickets to the Zeds Dead – Altered States afterparty with support from Ayybo and Noises.
Decadence Arizona is preparing four stages to welcome us into the new year. The two largest of which are the Grand Palace and the Royal Ballroom. These stages both have absolutely stacked lineups with a few extra special treats.
On day one in the Grand Palace, one of those extra special treats is DJ Pauly D. Yes the one from the *ahem* humble shores of Jersey. On day two Porter Robinson will be spinning it down with a DJ set not to be missed. Flume, Malaa, Duke Dumont, Louis the Child, and Zeds dead will also be gracing the Grand Palace but that’s just the tip of the iceberg – this lineup goes deep.
December 30: Brett Ortiz, DJ Pauly D, Fisher, Flume, KAYZO, Malaa
December 31: Dr Fresch, Duke Dumont, Louis The Child, Porter Robinson (dj set), Subtronics, Yookie, Zeds Dead
The royal ballroom has a few artists that if you are not familiar with then it’s time you change that. On the first night Moon Boots will be turning down the gravity and Midnight Tyrannosaurus will be shredding up the decks. Liquid stranger will be cooking us up into noodles and Wooli is going to be dishing out riddim of mammoth proportions. On night two Local Ekonovah will be representing the valley of the sun with his sparkling melodies and optimistic beaming beats. Cosmic Gate will have us reminiscing on relationships past, future, and present.
December 30: Black V Neck, Chuwe, Deathpact, Liquid Stranger, Midnight Tyrannosaurus, Moon Boots, Wooli
December 31: Cosmic Gate, Ekonovah, Hannah Wants, Nicole Moudaber, Space Wizard, Tinlicker, Walker & Royce
The last two stages The Playhouse and the Bazaar each have their own special party tricks. The Playhouse will have parked at it the Beatbox Bus – a full production stage with nine flavors of beatbox. Which one will be the flavor of your new year? Medicine Mike is known for dishing out down-and-dirty beats, with dubstep and riddim gracing his decks. Sed’s Vortex will impress you with her vocals on “Soul Sucka” and her ability to twirl beats around you.
Alex Anders, Daytona, Deep Chetty, ¿IDK?, Mamba & Turbo Present: Nightglider, Mastuh, Medicine Mike, Residuo, Sed’s Vortex, Seppi, WRLD CYPHR
The Bazaar is designed to be interacted with, with photo ops, tarot card reading, and the Weird & Wonderful performers. There is also an art walk, bar, and lounge spaces allowing for a more mellow area to chill out.
