Breakaway Festival Planting Its Flag in Alabama With The Chainsmokers, Kaskade and More

With their latest festival announcement, Breakaway is out to prove that even in the land of “Roll Tide” chants and roadside pecan stands, there’s room for EDM.

The Heart of Dixie is getting a serious bass injection after the organizers of Breakaway, the nation’s fastest-growing independent festival brand, announced the lineup of their first-ever Alabama edition. The fest lands October 3-4 at Huntsville’s Orion Amphitheater & Apollo Park.

The inaugural Breakaway Alabama will be headlined by The Chainsmokers, Kaskade, SLANDER and Shaquille O’Neal, better known in the electronic dance music community as DJ Diesel. The undercard is also impressive, featuring Dr. Fresch, Matroda, Mary Droppinz, Snakehips, Brandi Cyrus and TWINSICK, among others.

Like any good Southern festival worth its salt, Breakaway Alabama champions local talent, as five local acts join 19 national touring artists across the festival’s two nights. And as usual, the festival experience extends beyond music with The Launch Pad and a Silent Disco, while sponsors from CELSIUS to Cash App ensure attendees stay properly caffeinated and financially liquid.

Two-day GA, VIP & Ultimate VIP tickets are on sale now. You can check out the full lineup below.
