TAMPA, Fla. (BLOOM) — Breakaway Music Festival is making its highly anticipated return to Tampa on April 25-26, 2025, bringing with it a powerhouse lineup and immersive fan experiences designed to elevate the festival-going experience. After a successful debut last year, organizers are doubling down on the city’s growing passion for electronic music, drawing both internationally recognized artists and local talent to the Raymond James Stadium North Grounds.

This year’s festival, presented by CELSIUS, boasts a diverse lineup, headlined by Fisher, KNOCK2, ISOXO, and Louis The Child, along with a mix of established names and rising stars, including Disco Lines, DR. FRESCH, Nostalgix, Surf Mesa, and VNSSA. The festival will also highlight Florida-based artists as part of its commitment to fostering local talent.

Why Tampa?

Breakaway has rapidly grown into one of the country’s leading independent music festivals, expanding to 12 cities in 2025, including new markets like Dallas, Phoenix, and Philadelphia. Despite this national growth, Tampa remains a key destination for the festival’s long-term vision.

“Tampa was hugely successful for Breakaway in our debut in 2024,” said Jarrod Fucci, President of Breakaway. “We are invested in building upon the city’s continued excitement for our brand. Tampa is a bustling community with a clear passion for dance music, and we hope to deliver another unforgettable experience for the local audience and those traveling in for the show.”

The Lineup

Curating a festival lineup that speaks to both mainstream and underground fans is a key part of Breakaway’s identity. Fucci believes this year’s artist roster reflects Breakaway’s commitment to delivering what fans are actively listening to while also showcasing fast-rising talent.

“There are few festivals or events globally bringing together this caliber of talent, and we are proud to bring that to Tampa,” Fucci said. “Breakaway prides itself on being at the forefront of what fans want, offering something for everyone—whether it’s house, trap, bass, or beyond.”

Enhancements for 2025

Beyond the performances, Breakaway aims to enhance the overall festival experience with interactive elements and logistical improvements.

“We look forward to bringing back many of the same experiences from 2024 while continuously improving,” Fucci said. “Fans can expect more interactive brand activations, refreshed stage designs, and an even bigger production scale. We’re also focusing on the essentials—more restrooms, expanded food options, and additional water stations to ensure a comfortable experience.”

Attendees will also see the return of fan-favorite activities like the Silent Disco, which exclusively showcases local DJs, providing emerging talent with a platform to perform in front of larger audiences.

Supporting Local Artists

While Breakaway draws big-name artists, the festival also prioritizes integrating the local music scene.

“Our silent disco program is built exclusively of local DJs who are engaged and excited to bring Breakaway to life in their community,” Fucci explained. “It’s one of my favorite parts of our culture. We’ve seen artists start with us on the Silent Disco stage and work their way to the main stage.”

By offering these opportunities, Breakaway helps emerging musicians expand their reach and gain new fans, reinforcing its role in Tampa’s growing electronic music landscape.

What’s Next for Breakaway?

As Breakaway cements its reputation as a premier festival brand, its team remains focused on sustainable growth rather than scaling into a massive corporate event.

“Our independence allows us to stay nimble in an ever-changing landscape,” Fucci said. “We aren’t aiming to create colossal festivals like other promoters but instead focus on expanding thoughtfully while maintaining the quality of our events. We want to keep delivering the best talent and fan experiences in amazing cities like Tampa.”

With its mix of world-class artists, upgraded festival infrastructure, and a strong connection to the local community, Breakaway Tampa 2025 is shaping up to be a standout event in Florida’s festival scene.
