Last year, Tampa’s inaugural version of the independent, traveling “Breakaway” EDM festival packed out one of Raymond James Stadium’s parking lots, bringing in the likes of Zedd and Illenium.

This weekend’s party is the third stop of this year’s 12-market run and will see main stage performances from Mersiv (who plays a post-show party at The Ritz Ybor the same night) and Louis The Child, which blew our minds and drew in one of the largest crowds of the weekend at last year’s Gasparilla Music Festival

Tickets for the Breakaway Music Festival happening outside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa are still available and start at $74.
