Your guide to Breakaway Arizona EDM festival in Mesa: tickets, schedule and more

Metro Phoenix’s spring music festival season is in the grips of EDM overload. High-profile DJs and producers have already dropped pulsating beats, face-melting bass and thunderous bangers across no fewer than six local festivals in 2025 already – and the party’s not even close to finished.

Up next is a newcomer: The massive Breakaway Music Festival is making its first-ever stop in Arizona, bringing EDM stars like the Chainsmokers, future bass producer Gryffin, dance-pop duo Two Friends and fashionista DJ twins Coco & Breezy to Sloan Park in Mesa today and Saturday.

The touring EDM fest – which has already lit up cities like Dallas, San Francisco and Minneapolis – will be a two-day rager co-produced by Phoenix-based concert promoter Relentless Beats. Expect art displays, after-parties and nonstop dance-floor heaters spanning multiple genres from two dozen DJs.
