If youโ€™re still down and out about Tampa’s Sunset Music Festival taking a year off, just know that not all hope is lost for your EDM-themed summer kickoff celebrations.

The first Breakaway Music Festival happened eight years ago in Columbus, Ohio on the last weekend of August, and the two-day affair brought in the likes of Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla $ign, and Young Thug.

Ever since, the festival has slowly expanded across the country. Its Tampa Bay debut will see Zedd and Illenium serve as headliners on the main stage, with over 20 different aspiring producers and DJs on the bill, and, just like at last Februaryโ€™s Gasparilla Music Festival (which was loaded with EDM), a silent disco.

Tickets to Breakaway Festival happening outside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Friday-Saturday, April 26-27 are still available and start at $65.
