The Southwest’s biggest dance party, Sun City Music Festival, returns to beautiful Ascarate Park this Labor Day weekend for the fifth annual event in El Paso. On September 5th – 6th, top-notch talent from around the globe will soundtrack our nights, sending off the summer festival season in proper fashion. Tickets go on-sale this Friday, March 6th at 10:00 AM MST!

Known for booking a diverse array of talent, SCMF boasts three stages of non-stop, high-energy performances all-weekend-long, from promising acts to international sensations. With the wide variety of dance music in our sun-kissed showcase, there’s sure to be something for every taste – you’ll even add some new artist to your faves list. After our weekend is over, you’ll be thanking your lucky stars that the following Monday is a national holiday.

Every year, we prove El Paso knows how to party, so Sun City tribe – let’s do it again! Get ready for another action-packed Labor Day weekend – the road to Sun City Music Festival has officially begun!

The bad news is that this year’s Sun City Music Festival has been and gone. The good news is that the memories from the Labor Day weekend event will live on forever now that the online merch store is open!

The brand new site features commemorative designs screen printed on a variety of t-shits, tanks and accessories. Branded in true SCMF fashion, the merch features the iconic Sun City dreamcatcher logo, the navajo-inspired logo, and a spectrum of spinning colors. With minimal shrinkage, you’ll be able to enjoy a regular fit for years to come.

With so many styles, we’re positive you’ll find the perfect one for you. Let the world know how much fun you had this summer and keep the Sun City memories close to your heart forever!

This past Labor Day weekend, we met under the desert sky for the fourth edition of Sun City Music Festival. Our three stages were stacked and action-packed all night with sounds of Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Headhunterz, Zomboy, Loco Dice and Nicole Moudaber on Saturday, August 30th and David Guetta, Above & Beyond, Dubfire, Paul van Dyk and Aly & Fila on Sunday, August 31st. But let’s be honest – you don’t want to read about our amazing weekend – you’d rather see it, right? Well you can do just as the official photos from the sun-soaked event are now released. Head over to our photo galleries to relive all the excitement of SCMF, captured perfectly by Rukes and Mario Arizpe.

Did you or your friends make it in one of the official photos? Make sure to tag you and everybody you know and post the picture to your social media pages. Didn’t make it in the photo album? Share it anyway! Our guess is that you still have friends that are jealous of all the fun you had.

Once again, we give our many thanks to everyone who made SCMF such an amazing experience. We can’t wait to start planning for next year!

Though it’s sad to close the gate on Sun City Music Festival 2014, all of us at Disco Donnie Presents and SMG Events would like to thank the numerous workers, artists and performers, street team members, and dedicated staff whose hard work and commitment helped make Sun City the memorable event that is was.

We also want to recognize and thank the City of El Paso and El Paso County, El Paso County Sheriff Department, El Paso Police Department, Ascarate Park, and our friends at Beatport for their valued assistance and support!

It takes a community to build a festival and we couldn’t have pulled it off without all of you. Keep up the great work and we’ll see you next year!

We’ve been trying to think of the right words to describe this past weekend but all we’ve come up with is WOW!

Thank you to everyone who met us under the desert sky for another year of Sun City Music Festival. El Paso was ready to party and we loved seeing your SCMF tribe outfits and kandi as we roamed around Ascarate Park. We met some awesome people this weekend, made lasting memories with our new friends, and we did it all while dancing to great music.

On Saturday, August 30th, we were treated to sets by the likes of Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Headhunterz, Zomboy, Loco Dice and Nicole Moudaber and on Sunday, August 31st, David Guetta, Above & Beyond, Dubfire, Paul van Dyk and Aly & Fila guided our steps. With two days of continuous talent on three stages, not only are we happy to have Monday off, but our feet are happy to go in recovery mode.

Closing the chapter on this year’s edition, we want to sincerely thank each and every one of you who came out and made Sun City Music Festival such an unbelievable success yet again. From the energy, the vibe, and the passion, there’s no way we could’ve done it without you!

So THANK YOU again for all of your support. We’ll see you next year!
