Breakaway is breaking out. The touring electronic music festival announced Thursday (Oct. 17) that it’s 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 throw two-day events in these cities next year, along with previously its previously established markets of Tampa, Fla.; Columbus, Ohio; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Worcester, Mass.; and Charlotte, N.C.

These events will start in April of 2025 and continue on through October, with the energy drink Celsius once again coming on as Breakaway’s presenting sponsor. 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 can’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 ability to expand the festival into more cities across the nation while continuously enhancing the festival’s experience and value.“

Breakaway launched in 2016 in Columbus, Ohio, with dance and hip-hop acts including Alison Wonderland, Dillon Francis, Rae Sremmurd and RL Grime. Founded by Ruben and Adam Lynn, the event is focused on college towns, modeling itself as a dance and pop-driven Vans Warped Tour and bringing an approachable high-end 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.
