Breakaway Music Festival, presented by CELSIUS®, made a high-voltage entrance into Texas, lighting up Dallas’ Fair Park for its first-ever multi-day edition in the city. With over 20,000 attendees across April 5–6, the kickoff to Breakaway’s 2025 season was nothing short of explosive.
Day 1: Zedd, GRYFFIN, and a Nonstop Party
Breakaway Dallas launched with a bang on Saturday as over 12,000 fans packed into Fair Park for a full day of music, energy, and community. Headliners Zedd and GRYFFIN lit up the night with their signature sounds—Zedd delivering crisp, high-octane production, and GRYFFIN bringing melodic, emotional highs that had the crowd in sync from start to finish.
The supporting acts brought just as much fire. TroyBoi delivered bass-heavy trap and hip-hop cuts, BUNT. blended genre-fluid, feel-good grooves, and Ship Wrek kept the energy bouncing with infectious house beats. KREAM and Daniel Allan closed out the day with immersive sets that sustained the momentum deep into the night.
CELSIUS® kept fans fueled throughout Fair Park, offering product samples and interactive brand experiences as part of their ESSENTIAL VIBES TOUR™—a nationwide activation that continues to elevate the festival experience across all Breakaway stops.
Day 2: Cold Front, Hot Lineup
Sunday brought colder temperatures, but the energy at Breakaway Dallas never wavered. With even more fans than the day before, over 20,000 attendees braved the chill for another round of world-class performances.
Headliners SLANDER, Louis The Child, and Afrojack delivered standout sets that defined the day. SLANDER brought their signature melodic bass and emotional drops, turning Fair Park into a wave of lights and feels. Louis The Child kept spirits high with vibrant, genre-mashing selections, while Afrojack closed out the night with a stadium-level set packed with high-energy anthems and relentless crowd engagement.
The undercard was just as stacked. Zomboy delivered a massive dubstep barrage that shook the stage, EVAN GIIA captivated with her vocal-driven hybrid sound, and ACRAZE kept the crowd moving with bass-heavy house heaters. Layz brought the heavy edge, rounding out a sonically diverse day.
Over at the Silent Disco, more than 30 regional DJs turned a side-stage into a standout experience, proving that Breakaway is just as much about discovery as it is about headliners. The vibe was intimate, sweaty, and electric—exactly what you want from an underground dance floor.
By the end of the weekend, Breakaway Dallas had left its mark. From big-stage blowouts to local DJ gems, it was clear: Dallas didn’t just welcome Breakaway—it claimed it.
