Breakaway Music Festival has rolled on strongly throughout this year, bringing forth fantastic editions at some of its tried and true stops across the US while also touching down in new cities along the way. Breakaway Michigan has been one of the standouts for this touring festival over the past few years, and it’s set to return for another round on August 15-16.
Headliners Zedd and Rezz lead the charge of this stacked lineup, but the rest of the list is also teeming with talent. GRYFFIN, INZO, Disco Lines, MitiS, ISOxo, Wax Motif, OMNOM, Tape B, and Viperactive are just a handful of the acts who are slated to take the stage over the weekend. Not to mention the Silent Disco that is set to showcase a flurry of local artists from the area who will spin across three separate channels.
