The story

HEX is a two-day festival taking place on October 30-31 at Rawhide Western Town & Event Center in Chandler, Arizona. It features a lineup of various artists, including prominent names in electronic music. The festival is for attendees aged 18 and over, requiring ID for entry, and has a curfew set for 12:30 AM each night.

HEX is a 2-day electronic, dance festival at Rawhide Western Town & Event Center in Chandler, United States. The October 2026 edition runs 30–31 Oct 2026.

Announced so far: Subtronics, Layz, Excision, Dennett, INZO, Badklaat, Hurtbox and ATLiens and 15 more. Expect stages split between Electronic and Dance. The line-up is spread across the 2 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at Rawhide Western Town & Event Center, in Chandler. Chandler is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

HEX keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Saturday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Chandler are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Held over 2 days
• Located at Rawhide Western Town & Event Center
• Attendees must be 18+ and show ID
• Doors open at 5:00 PM each day
• Curfew at 12:30 AM

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to HEX works out at roughly €1,562 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 2% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 15h 44m each way, at €1,073 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at HEX are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 3 nights rather than 2: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow HEX on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris
