The Breakaway Music Festival spans four cities across the United States. Each concert enables thousands of music fans to enjoy the talent of some of today's most popular artists representing different musical genres. Hip-hop artists, international DJs and pop stars take to the stage in renowned sports stadiums and fairgrounds accompanied by light shows, pyrotechnics and other surprises to create a memorable event. The event kicks off near the end of August in Columbus, Ohio, at MAPFRE Stadium before venturing to Grand Rapids, Mich., in Belknap Park. The festival then makes its way to Charlotte, N.C., and the AvidXchange Music Factory Festival Grounds before the final leg of the mega event takes place in Nashville, Tenn., at Fair Park.
The first festival took place in 2013 and was promoted by Prime Social. At that time, Columbus, Ohio, and Dallas, Texas, each hosted a one-day concert. Artists who performed during the first event included Bassnectar, Empire of the Sun and Porter Robinson in Ohio. Dallas performances included Big Gigantic, Wu-Tang Clan and Danny Avila. The response by concertgoers soon influenced the expansion of the festival to two-day weekend events in four different cities. In 2018, more than 65,000 fans attended the concerts. The festival offers a range of ticket options for music lovers, including VIP options that enable people to a range of perks to enhance their enjoyment of the exceptional music at the four-city festival.
