TAMPA Fla, (BLOOM) – Tampa, get ready to dance—Breakaway Music Festival is making its electrifying return to Raymond James Stadium on April 25-26, 2025. After last year’s massive success, which saw thousands of festivalgoers partying through the night, the nation’s largest touring electronic music festival is back, and it’s set to be even bigger and better. Early bird tickets are already on sale, and while the official 2025 lineup is still under wraps, the hype is real. If last year is any indication, Tampa is in for an unforgettable experience.
Last Year’s Festival Recap: Big Names and Surprises
In 2024, Breakaway brought out some of the hottest names in electronic dance music, and fans were treated to headlining performances from Illenium, Kaskade, Zedd, and SOFI TUKKER. Other artists like ACRAZE, Crankdat, and Said the Sky also graced the stage, while local talent such as Pushman and Taylorlace helped keep the energy high. The 2024 event also featured a surprise set from NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer, adding an unexpected twist to the already stellar lineup.
NÜTRL, known for its refreshing vodka seltzers, isn’t just about great drinks—it’s about delivering unique experiences. At last year’s festival, they surprised fans with a pop-up DJ set at their booth, giving attendees something extra to rave about.
What to Expect in 2025: Even Bigger and Better
Breakaway’s co-founders, Ruben and Adam Lynn, have made it clear that the festival is continuing to grow, with plans to expand to more cities and reach even bigger audiences. Tampa remains one of the key stops, and fans can expect the 2025 lineup to be packed with both established stars and rising talent. The lineup will be announced this winter, but with past headliners like Dillon Francis and RL Grime, it’s clear that Breakaway is a festival that delivers.
In addition to the music, Breakaway always brings the full festival experience, featuring art installations, food vendors, and interactive activities that keep the energy going all weekend long. For those who need a break from the main stage, the silent disco offers three music stations, allowing festivalgoers to vibe out to their choice of tunes.
