The breakaway breaks out. The touring electronic music festival announced Thursday (October 17) that it is expanding to six new markets in 2025.

These new cities are Atlanta. Dallas? Huntsville, Ala.; Philadelphia; Phoenix and a yet-to-be-announced Northern California city.

The festival will hold two-day events in those cities next year, along with its previous markets in Tampa, Florida. Columbus, Ohio; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Worcester, Mass. and Charlotte, NC

These events will begin in April 2025 and continue through October, with energy drink Celsius once again serving as Breakaway's presenting sponsor. The lineups for these shows will be announced in the coming months.

“2024 was Breakaway's biggest year to date,” says Breakaway co-founder Zach Ruben. “We couldn't be more excited to have a bigger and more electric year in 2025 by bringing a premium festival experience, presented by Celsius, to six brand new markets. This partnership has given us the tremendous opportunity to expand the festival to more cities across the country, while continuously enhancing the experience and value of the festival.”

Breakaway launched in 2016 in Columbus, Ohio, featuring dance and hip-hop acts such as Alison Wonderland, Dillon Francis, Rae Sremmurd and RL Grime. Founded by Ruben and Adam Lynn, the event focuses on college towns, positioning itself as a dance and pop-driven Vans Warped tour and bringing an accessible, high-quality dance experience to underserved markets.

In its eight years of existence, the festival has hosted marquee dance acts including The Chainsmokers, Deadmau5, Illenium, Tiësto, John Summit and many more.
