Breakaway Music Festival is already looking past its current run and into next year. The touring festival brand has revealed Phase One of its 2027 season, confirming the first four stops on what is shaping up to be another cross-country run for the CELSIUS-backed series.
The 2027 season kicks off in Florida with Breakaway Tampa on April 16-17, marking the earliest start date the festival has had in a given market. From there, the tour heads to Breakaway Atlanta on May 14-15, followed by a Memorial Day Weekend stop at Breakaway Ohio on May 28-29, and then Breakaway Minnesota on June 25-26. Organizers say more cities will be added to the calendar later this year, so this is just the opening batch.
Breakaway has built its identity around bringing multi-stage, two-day festival production to markets that do not always get that kind of treatment from the major festival circuit. What started as a single-city event has grown into a touring series that now spans much of the country, and the brand is positioning 2027 as its biggest investment yet — both in terms of production quality and the size of the talent bookings.
“Our festivals will always be the foundation of Breakaway, and in 2027 we’re investing more than ever to make each stop on the tour bigger and better than ever before,” said Adam Lynn, Breakaway Co-Founder & CEO. “This is a sneak peek at what’s ahead, with much more to be announced this fall.”
Beyond the festivals themselves, Breakaway has been building out a broader entertainment operation over the past few years. That includes Breakaway Studios, its media and content production arm, and Breakaway 360, an in-house experiential agency. Those pieces work alongside Breakaway Presents, the company’s concert division, and Breakaway Projects, its record label and artist development wing — all feeding into a larger ecosystem the brand hopes keeps fans engaged outside of just festival weekends.
The 2027 announcement comes as Breakaway is still in the middle of a record-setting 2026 run. The festival has drawn nearly 160,000 attendees across its first seven weekends this year, with six more still on the books, including stops in Michigan, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, and the Carolinas before the season wraps with first-time visits to Utah and Houston in the fall. This year also saw Breakaway make its New York City debut at Under The K Bridge Park. Lineups across the 2026 season have leaned heavily on dance music heavyweights like FISHER, John Summit, KETTAMA, Subtronics, and Tiësto.
With Phase One locked in for 2027 and more cities expected to be announced this fall, Breakaway looks set to keep expanding its footprint. Keep an eye on the festival’s socials for updates on additional markets and lineup reveals as the season takes shape.
