BOO Arizona announces Phase 1 lineup for first edition since 2019
The Boo Arizona lineup is already stacked with chart-topping names, with even more artists still to be announced.
Insomniac is bringing Boo Arizona back for the first time in seven years, unveiling the Phase 1 lineup for the Halloween festival’s highly anticipated return after its last edition in 2019. The electronic music event is set to take over WestWorld in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Oct. 30-31, giving fans their first chance to experience the festival since it went on hiatus.
Scheduled for Halloween weekend, Boo Arizona 2026 will feature two stages of electronic music and immersive haunted mansion-inspired production designed to transform the venue into a spooky festival experience Leading the first wave of artists are GRAMMY-winning duo The Chainsmokers and multi-platinum producer Zedd, who headline the initial announcement alongside Mexican-American DJ and producer Deorro, dubstep favorite Level Up and Australian hard dance artist Restricted.
The lineup spans several corners of the electronic music scene, from festival anthems and melodic dance music to bass-heavy dubstep and high-energy hard dance. Insomniac said the artists announced so far represent only the first phase of the festival’s programming, with additional performers expected to be revealed in the coming months.
Boo Arizona has become one of Insomniac’s signature Halloween events, pairing large-scale dance music performances with elaborate seasonal production. This year’s edition is expected to be one of the festival’s biggest yet, with organizers promising immersive haunted mansion-themed décor, theatrical visuals and a Halloween atmosphere throughout the weekend.
The festival’s return also expands Insomniac’s fall festival calendar, giving Arizona dance music fans the chance to celebrate Halloween with a curated lineup of internationally recognized electronic artists after several years without the event.
Two-day general admission and 21-and-over VIP passes for Boo Arizona 2026 are scheduled to go on sale Wednesday, July 8, at noon. More lineup announcements and festival details are expected ahead of the Halloween weekend event.

I've been writing, covering events, and doing interviews with Exron for nearly four years, but have been an EDM-lover for over a decade. The music community and industry has a special place in my heart and I love exploring the depths. EDC Las Vegas is my favorite festival and this year will be my sixth time attending. Some other recent festivals I've been are Ultra, Elements, Lost Lands, Electric Forest, and Arc. I've been getting more into experimental bass, but techno and house will always have my heart. <3
