“I
can’t help but look at the lineup we have and feel like we are building
something massive for our fans,“ says Relentless Beats founder Thomas
Turner. “Phoenix Lights is going to be something people are talking
about for a long time to come.”
The multi-stage festival will be held at Margaret T. Hance Park, an urban setting in Downtown Phoenix. The
32-acre park located on the “deck” over the Interstate Highway 10
Papago Freeway Tunnel, between 5th Ave. and 3rd Street, is the home of
the Japanese Friendship Garden, Irish Cultural Center, McClelland Irish
Library, Phoenix Center for the Arts, and Burton Barr Central Library. First dedicated in 1992, the park is located near the Central Station METRO Light Rail and bus transfer stations and is surrounded by libraries, museums, educational facilities, and the arts district. Building off of this momentum, fans can expect top-level talent, cutting edge visuals, unique stage design, interactive experiential installations and more.
