Columbus is bracing for a bass-heavy weekend as Breakaway Music Festival rolls back into Historic Crew Stadium, loading up two nights of electronic music on May 29 to 30. Headliners Kygo, Disco Lines, REZZ and GRiZ are set to anchor the bill, promising a wide spread of dance sounds for the city’s festival faithful.

The festival’s official listing pegs the dates as May 29 to 30, 2026 and confirms the Historic Crew Stadium Festival Grounds as the Ohio stop, with ticket tiers and travel add-ons laid out on the site, according to Breakaway Festival. The event page spotlights GA, VIP and Terrace passes, plus travel packages and on-site experience options.

This year’s top line leans into the broader EDM spectrum: Kygo is bringing his melodic house sound, GRiZ is on tap for bass-driven live sets, and REZZ and Disco Lines round things out with darker and groovier flavors, as reported by EDM.com. It is a deliberate mix aimed at pulling in fans from across the dance subgenres.

The bill runs deeper than the headliners, with roughly 20 national touring acts backed up by a small slate of Ohio talent. Coverage of the lineup points to four local names on the poster 2ŁØT, Stoney, Tano and VryBad among the full roster, according to TicketNews.

Ticket prices vary by package. WSYX reports that two-day general admission is running at about $200, with single-day GA around $109 and VIP upgrades roughly $80 more than GA. Official ticket breakdowns and purchase links are listed on the festival site, per Breakaway Festival.

What To Know Before You Go

Festival hours are expected to run roughly 4 to 11 p.m. both nights, with gates opening in the late afternoon, so plan on an afternoon arrival and a long evening on your feet. The festival footprint is at Historic Crew Stadium, 1 Black and Gold Blvd, and attendees should be ready for heavy traffic and tight on-site parking. Directions, transit suggestions and venue guidelines are laid out in local event listings, as noted by ColumbusUnderground.

"Columbus is where Breakaway began 13 years ago, and it's still at the core of who we are," Breakaway co-founder Zach Ruben said about bringing the party back home, per EDM.com. Expect big crowds across multiple stages, and keep an eye on your ticket confirmation and the festival site for any late-breaking schedule tweaks or entry policy updates.
