Goldrush: Midnight Riders (2026) – night 2 highlights
From the editor: This is my first independent festival coverage piece, as well as my third credentialed Goldrush in a row and my fourth Goldrush overall. This year’s lineup, both headliners and underground talent, did not disappoint. GRiZ and Martin Garrix really set the bar for headlining acts on the second night, and the plurality of stages gave the festival lots of performance variety. It was also interesting walking through the different smaller stages (DUDE Wipes, Moonshine and Patrón especially) and seeing the locals hold it down during set conflicts with larger headliners like Sullivan King, Ray Volpe, Deadmau5 and Deathpact. Kudos to everyone that performed, and thank you for letting me capture your history. This project truly is for the culture and this weekend helped me realize that. Let’s run it back for Goldrush X?
