Goldrush Recap

It is an all-girls takeover recapping Goldrush Music Festival 2026 at Rawhide in Arizona. Hosts Clare, Faith, Mirayam and CeCe break down their day one cowgirl and day two butterfly outfits, their favorite sets across both days, festival essentials, trinket and candy trades, and their after-festival recovery routines, with call-ins from LA rave model Emily and Phoenix DJ Emput.

Their list includes ID, water (frozen water bottles that melt and stay cold through the night), a hydration pack, hand sanitizer, tissues or toilet paper, gum, hard candy or cough drops for a dusty throat, a nasal stick, chapstick and eye drops. They also recommend a mask for the dust between stages, earplugs for hearing protection, slippers for the walk out, and pinning where you parked.

Emily, an LA rave model who flew in for her first Arizona festival and compares Goldrush favorably to Southern California events for crowd energy, entry and bathrooms, and DJ Emput, who played her third Goldrush on the Dude Wipes "Mission to Uranus" side stage after two years at the silent disco, and explains how she curated a roughly 60-song dubstep set.
