Breakaway Music Festival is set to light up the north grounds at Raymond James Stadium this Friday and Saturday, April 17–18, 2026, promising two nights of electronic dance music in Tampa. Gates open at 4 p.m. both days, with main stage sets expected to run into the late evening.
According to Breakaway Music Festival, the Tampa stop will be staged on the Raymond James Stadium North Grounds and lists headliners including Ti0ebstoi, Cloonee, Dom Dolla and KETTAMA. The event page also touts a roster of more than 20 national touring acts and notes that ticket types are age-restricted for an 18+ crowd.
FOX 13 Tampa Bay reporter Regina Gonzalez caught up with Breakaway president Jarrod Fucci in a brief interview ahead of the weekend, with the station underscoring that gates will open at 4:00 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday. The segment aired on April 16 as crews put the finishing touches on staging at the venue.
Lineup and tickets
The two-day roster covers house, techno, bass and trap across multiple stages, mixing international names with Florida-based talent. As previewed by EDM Tomorrow, the bills include Ti0ebstoi, NGHTMRE, Cloonee, Partiboi69 and more. Ticket options range from single-day GA and early-entry passes to VIP, Terrace and Space Deck packages, with pricing starting around $175, according to Breakaway Music Festival.
Getting there and parking
Expect a stadium-style arrival. The venue's visitor guide lists Lot 6 and Lot 6D among on-site parking areas and designates Steinbrenner Field as the usual drop-off and pick-up point for ride-share and mass transit. Per the Raymond James Stadium site, parking transactions are cashless and lots are typically first come, first served, with some advance parking options available through third-party vendors.
What to know before you go
The festival runs roughly 4:00 p.m. to midnight both nights and is listed as an 18+ event, so bring valid ID and be ready for heat and crowds. Visit Tampa Bay also flags the hours and recommends that attendees allow extra time for arrival and post-show pickup, given the expected traffic on Dale Mabry Highway and Himes Avenue.
Whether you are there for the headline fireworks or to catch local sets early, arriving ahead of the rush should help with parking, security lines and sightlines. Expect larger-than-usual crowds around the Ray Jay complex both nights and plan a little extra time for your ride-share or transit trip home.
