September 26-27, 2025
Tickets and Information HERE
Get hyped, Charlotte! The Breakaway Music Festival is rolling into the zMAX Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway for two electric days on September 26–27, 2025. Think of it as your favorite backyard cookout… cranked to 11 with top-tier artists, awesome food, quirky merch stalls, and that warm, family-vibe only Charlotte can bring.
Just a short drive from uptown, this iconic dragway transforms into festival central—spanning 125 acres of live music, neon lights, and magic. Whether you're rocking out at the Main Stage or chilling with new friends, there's zero VIP pretense—only shared experiences and that tight-knit festival fam feeling. Though we do have to give props to this festival for their VIP experience because it is one of the best in the industry!
The Lineup that Came to Make You Dance
The Carolina 2025 lineup is stacked with major dance, bass, and hip‑hop acts alongside local legends. Plus, there’s a Silent Disco and hidden satellite stage to discover. Expect late-night dance-offs, surprise guest drops, and non-stop energy. We’ve got John Summit. Need we say more? No, but we will, because we’re psyched for Louis the Child, Lavern, and Max Styler equally!
Fun for the Entire Family
Here’s what sets Breakaway apart: it’s inclusive. Breakaway is rain-or-shine, offers ASL interpreters on request, supports service animals, and it’s accessible for all ages, so it truly feels like something for everyone. Expect smiling neighbors, impromptu group dances, and a collective energy that feels like home.
Hungry? The festival features an array of food vendors, from juicy BBQ sliders to vibrant veggie bowls. Quench your thirst at multiple bars dishing non‑alcoholic drinks, beer, and cocktails, all responsibly sourced and crowd-pleasing. Say goodbye to FOMO and hello to full bellies so you can continue your weekend dance party!
Want that festival-specific hoodie or a glowing LED hoop to light up your night? With vendors slinging merch, glow accessories, cozy blankets, and fan gear, you’ll leave with more than memories. You’ll leave with swag that will remind you of all the amazing memories you’ve made this weekend.
So grab that crew, dust off your dancing shoes, and mark your calendars—Breakaway Carolina 2025 is shaping up to be the spirited, community-charged festival of the year in Charlotte. It’s more than music—it’s your next unforgettable memory. Let’s go! We can’t wait to see you on the dance floor!
