The Breakaway Music Festival announced its 2026 tour schedule Wednesday, expanding its national footprint with first-time stops in Houston and Salt Lake City.

Presented by CELSIUS, the festival will feature 14 events across the country from April through November, returning to major markets while teasing another new city to be revealed later this year.

The announcement follows a record-breaking 2025 season that drew hundreds of thousands of fans nationwide, solidifying Breakaway as one of the fastest-growing independent music festivals in the U.S., organizers said.

Tickets go on sale to the public on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 7 a.m. PT, with a presale open through Oct. 26 at 11:59 p.m.

The 2026 season kicks off April 10–11 in Dallas, followed by Tampa on April 17–18, Arizona on April 24–25, Atlanta on May 15–16, Ohio on May 29–30, and Minnesota on June 26–27.

“Each year Breakaway grows, not just in size, but in energy, in impact, and in the community it brings together,” said Adam Lynn, the festival’s co-founder. “Our goal has always been to make live music more accessible while delivering a high-quality, unforgettable festival environment.”

Breakaway, which blends electronic music with local culture and immersive activations, has featured major artists including The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Martin Garrix, and Tiësto. CELSIUS will return as presenting sponsor for the 2026 season.

The festival also recently launched its Creator Lab, a national merchandise design competition open through Nov. 3. Winning designs will debut Dec. 3 on Breakaway’s online store.
