The nation’s leading independent music festival is bringing the beats to Alabama for the first time this fall.
Breakaway Music Festival, presented by CELSIUS, announces its inaugural Huntsville event featuring headliners The Chainsmokers, Kaskade, Slander, and DJ Diesel (aka Shaquille O’Neal). The two-day electronic music extravaganza takes over The Orion Amphitheater and Apollo Park on October 3-4, 2025.
The Lineup
Nineteen national touring acts and five local DJs will light up the stage across two electrifying nights. In addition to the headliners, festival-goers can catch performances by Avello, Brandi Cyrus, Dr. Fresch, KLO, Kompany, Level Up, Mary Droppinz, Matroda, MC4D, Mersiv, Ship Wrek, Snakehips, Twinsick, and Will Sass. Bobby Hendrickson of social media’s @DJLoversClub fame will host the festivities.
True to Breakaway’s commitment to supporting local talent, the festival welcomes Huntsville area artists 2Checks, Lykwid, MACDIZZY, Mollywater, and Rocco to the lineup.
Beyond the Main Stage
The festival experience extends beyond the headliners with The Launch Pad presented by White Claw Surge and a Silent Disco featuring local artists. Brand activations, themed bars, and interactive experiences from sponsors including CELSIUS, White Claw, Jose Cuervo, BeatBox, Cash App, and more will create an immersive fan experience throughout the grounds.
Breakaway Alabama joins an innovative payment trend as one of 12 Breakaway festivals accepting cryptocurrency in 2025.
