Band of Arizona’s Most Influential Sports Writer of All Time to Follow Up on Last Year’s Polo Party performance; Treat Crowd to Cover of Oasis Smash Hit
Lauded Arizona sports authority and Whiskey’s Quicker guitarist Dan Bickley is set to deliver another memorable moment at this year’s Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships, treating fans to a first-time performance of Oasis’ smash hit, “Champagne Supernova,” at the state’s top-selling champagne event.
The special performance, slated for Saturday, Nov. 8 at the two-day event taking over WestWorld of Scottsdale, celebrates the Polo Party’s signature champagne culture and follow Bickley’s electrifying performance at last year’s Polo Party, where he teamed up with international opera superstar James Valenti to perform unexpected renditions of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child of Mine” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” The unforgettable performance was one of the highlights of last year’s festivities, and Bickley’s return promises to raise the bar even higher for this year’s edition.
“Dan Bickley is arguably the most influential figure in Arizona sports media history,” said Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships
Co-Founder Jason Rose. “And with more champagne flowing here than at any other event in the state, his band’s upcoming take on “Champagne Supernova” couldn’t be more fitting.”
Bickley expressed an eagerness to feed off the energy of last year’s show and give fans yet another reason to remember the Polo Party. “This event is like nothing else in Arizona, blending sports, fashion and music with a high-energy environment,” said Bickley. “I still get people approaching me and commenting about last year’s performance, and I can’t wait to make this year’s even more memorable.”
In addition to Bickley’s performance alongside Whiskey’s Quicker, this year’s Polo Party will also feature a first-of-its-kind on-field showdown, with international polo superstar Ricky Cooper taking the field 
between Saturday matches to race a 2026 Bentley GT atop his polo pony. The two days of festivities also include six polo matches, among them the first-ever Army vs. Navy matchup, and plenty of fan-favorite tents and special events, from the return of the Casa Amigos DayClub and Barrett-Jackson Champagne & Jazz Lounge to the Canine Couture Fashion Show by Lugari Pet Salon and the World’s Longest Catwalk Fashion Show by Phoenix Fashion Week.
This year’s Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships also coincide with the WestWorld Art & Wine Experience, a weekend-long event that will take place onsite.
