Breakaway Dallas Returns to Set the Standard for 2026

On April 10-11, 2026, Breakaway Music Festival will storm back into Fair Park as the ignition switch for the brand’s most ambitious year to date. After a record-breaking 2025 season that earned Breakaway the Dallas Observer’s “Best Festival in Dallas” title, the city has secured a prestigious new honor: the first stop on a massive 14-city national tour. Now, Texas will get the first look at Breakaway’s expanded production, sharpened vision, and a redefined Breakaway Dallas experience.

Dallas sits right in the middle of Breakaway’s momentum. Following a 2025 edition that shattered expectations with its atmosphere and attendance, the city has evolved from a mere tour stop into the brand’s backbone.

“The response from fans in 2025 exceeded every expectation and proved that Dallas is quickly becoming one of Breakaway’s strongest communities,” says Breakaway co-founder Zach Ruben. “Fair Park delivered an unforgettable backdrop, and we’re ready to level up the entire Breakaway experience in 2026 with expanded production, new surprises, and more.”

The 2026 roster balances international boss power and the raw energy of the Texas community. Headliners like FISHER and Eli Brown will anchor the weekend with their sunny tech house melodies and dark-driving industrial techno. Joining are the musically adventurous duo, Sofi Tukker, who will bring a vivid “jungle pop”, HUGEL, the Marseille-born pioneer of Latin House, and many more.

However, Breakaway’s true ethos lies in its commitment to the local ecosystem. By placing Dallas-based artists like Zircaz and P Plum on the primary billing, the festival bridges the gap between DFW producers and global superstars. For local favorite P Plum, opening a national tour at home is a career milestone. 

“Breakaway is the perfect festival for this city,” she says. “I’m grateful to play a role in something so special. There’s nothing like helping launch the tour at home, surrounded by the people who have supported me from the beginning.”

Beyond the speakers, Breakaway Dallas will transform into a multi-sensory playground featuring curated brand activations and recharge zones. The CELSIUS oasis will offer a high-energy sanctuary to refuel with sparkling refreshments. Powered by Jimmy John’s, the fan-favorite Silent Disco will also return with upgraded tech and curated local lineups. And for those seeking an elevated vantage point, Breakaway’s premium tiers: VIP, Ultimate VIP, and the tiered space deck will offer plush lounges, dedicated bars, and unobstructed sightlines over the crowd. 

As Breakaway expands into new territories like Houston and Salt Lake City, Dallas retains the crown as the tour’s symbolic engine. As the city musically grows and evolves in exciting ways, this launch validates a local scene that has been long ready for the global spotlight. 

“Dallas is home to some of the most innovative and powerful talents in today’s music scene,” P Plum› adds. “I feel Dallas’s EDM scene is growing and evolving in exciting ways. There’s a genuine passion here, and the crowds bring incredible energy every time. There’s also a strong sense of community, artists and fans supporting each other and pushing things forward together. Something real is happening here, and festivals like Breakaway are finally giving it the stage it deserves.”
