House Music Meets Horsepower: Phantoms to Headline 15th Annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships Nov. 7

Electronic Music Duo Joins Alaskan Franks and Walter Productions for a Full Day of Music, Polo and Entertainment Nov. 7 at WestWorld

The 15th annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships has found the soundtrack for a milestone anniversary, with electronic music duo Phantoms set to bring its mix of house and indie-dance to WestWorld of Scottsdale this November.

Phantoms, featuring Kyle Kaplan and Vinnie Pergola, will headline the DJ lineup at the nation’s most-attended polo event Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, at 16601 N. Pima Road, Scottsdale, bringing even more energy to a day already packed with international polo, fashion, luxury cars, live entertainment and over-the-top experiences. Local duo Alaskan Franks, which includes Ladell Ransom and Frank Terry, will join Phantoms on the DJ lineup, giving Arizona talent time in the spotlight alongside the nationally touring headliner.

The music continues after the last polo match when Walter Productions rolls out Kalliope, its massive mobile sound stage, for the Sunset After-Party. Known for creating immersive experiences on a grand scale, Walter Productions has established a strong presence in Arizona’s entertainment scene with its music venues, production and fabrication work, and unmistakable fleet of oversized art cars. Since 2009, the Walter Productions team has taken its larger-than-life creations beyond the Valley to festivals and events across the country. The full entertainment lineup gives Scottsdale Polo Party guests plenty to listen to between matches — and another reason to stick around until, and after, dark.

“Walter Productions is proud to be part of the 15th annual Polo Championships,” said Walter Productions’ Kirk Strawn. “As always, the event brings some of the most eclectic and innovative cultural contributions to our Valley.”

Kaplan and Pergola launched Phantoms in 2016 and have spent the decade since building a sound that combines house, indie-dance and alternative electronica.

“Just a Feeling” featuring Vérité, from Phantoms’ self-titled debut album, spent four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on U.S. Dance Radio and set a record on SiriusXM BPM’s Top 20 countdown. Phantoms followed its successful debut with the 2019 Disconnect EP featuring dance-chart hit “Say It,” and earned support from some of electronic music’s biggest names, including Pete Tong, Diplo, Duke Dumont, Martin Garrix and Jai Wolf.

This year’s event will pit England’s Select against Dark Horse Dallas in a first-ever Scottsdale matchup. The championships will also feature The Arizona Polo Club and New Orleans Polo Club squaring off in the opening match, along with Army vs. Navy in the Semper Fi Heating and Cooling Military Matchup just days before Veterans Day.

Past attendees will also find plenty of new elements at this year’s festivities, including Best of the West: The Inaugural Arizona State Acoustic Guitar Championships, and the event’s first-ever rugby match between the nationally ranked Scottsdale Blues Rugby Team and San Diego Old Aztecs.

Guests can also check out an Arizona wine tasting experience, a new on-site sports bar and cigar lounge with Million Dollar Mingle and the Scottsdale Polo Party’s first Western Pleasure Competition with the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show.

Fashion will also again hit the field with Phoenix Fashion Week’s “The World’s Longest Catwalk,” Lugari Pet Salon’s Canine Couture dog fashion show and a new Cowgirl Couture show from Franklin, Tennessee-based Moo Country. Million Dollar Mingle will return as its own “event within the event,” while Riot House DayClub and the Barrett-Jackson Champagne & Jazz Lounge will give guests even more places to kick back and take in all the action.

Then, as the sun sets over WestWorld, the Sunset After-Party gets underway.

“The music has become a huge part of the Scottsdale Polo Party,” said Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships General Manager Mary Turner. “Phantoms bring exactly the kind of energy we want for our 15th anniversary, and pairing them with Alaskan Franks and Walter Productions gives people yet another reason to come out for polo and stay all day.”

Festivities will begin Thursday and Friday, Nov. 5 and 6, with welcome parties and VIP receptions for sponsors, players and ticketholders taking place before the main event hits WestWorld Saturday.
