Gathering Twilight: Seven Lions Brings the Magic to Arizona!

A wave of emotion rushed over Arizona as Seven Lions and friends took over Rawhide Event Center on October 18th in Chandler. Produced by Relentless Beats, the evening glowed with magic, full of inspiring music, great energy, and memories that will last long after the final drop.

The Production

Production for Seven Lions’ event perfectly captured the Gathering Twilight theme, transforming the stage into a forest scene with greenery framing the decks. Three massive LED screens spanned the wall behind the DJ booth, displaying immersive visuals that pulled the crowd in. 

Multiple lighting rigs filled the stage and stretched across the warehouse ceiling, casting spotlights throughout the space. Lanterns hung overhead for a special detail while lasers cut through the air in every direction.

The Lineup

Ekonovah, a local Arizona favorite, kicked off the night and got the crowd moving with his genre-bending sound. Known for his signature house style, he surprised fans with a twist by infusing his set with heavy bass and trap elements! 

HVDES brought dark, mysterious energy to the stage while still keeping the dance floor alive. Her set blended fan favorites with unexpected remixes, delivering an electrifying mix of deep bass and edgy intensity that captivated the crowd.

Space Wizard brought that wubby, experimental bass energy to the night. He definitely turned heads with his wild sound design and unpredictable drops.

Apashe turned up the heat with his signature blend of bass and symphonic elements, keeping the crowd’s energy high and the vibes electric all set long.

Seven Lions

Fans erupted with excitement as Seven Lions finally took the stage after much anticipation. The energy in the warehouse skyrocketed as lasers and spotlights danced across the crowd, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. He performed his newest singles, “So Far Away” featuring Lily Ahlberg and “By the Light of the Moon” featuring Kerli, both from his upcoming album Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, which is set to release this December. He also teased two unreleased tracks from the album.

Seven Lions surprised fans with two incredible guest appearances: HALIENE, who joined him on stage to perform “Horizon” with Tritonal and Kill The Noise, and Bella Renee, who came out for “Man Down” with YDG. He also treated the crowd to emotional fan favorites like “Start Again,” “Worlds Apart,” and a stunning extended version of “Rush Over Me,” once again featuring HALIENE live.

Everything about the night felt magical, from the energy of the crowd to the way the music connected everyone in the room.
