Breakaway - Charlotte

About this festival

Prime Social Group announces that its signature Breakaway Music Festival will return to Charlotte, NC, bringing back its world-class production and talent to AvidXchange Music Factory Festival Grounds with the addition of a second day, making it a 2-Day festival. The event will take place October 12 – 13, 2018.

Riding off of the success of the highly-hyped headlining performances of Grammy-winner Zedd, and Billboard chart-topper Lil Dicky, the festival received much praise for its well-rounded bill which also included Cheat Codes, Madeintyo, 24 HRS, and 5 additional acts (not including the 21+ Silent Disco performers).

“We started this festival by combining urban living with a carefully curated, multi-genre lineup that festival goers of all ages and music preferences could enjoy. The expansion to make Breakaway Charlotte a 2-Day Festival was a no brainer for us based on the festival’s previous success,” Managing Partner Adam Lynn explained.

Breakaway Music Festival debuted in 2013 at MAPFRE Stadium with names like Kendrick Lamar, Bassnectar and twentyonepilots. The Columbus festival then re-emerged in 2016 with headliners like Chance the Rapper, Rae Sremmurd and Dillon Francis and the festival brand has since expanded to five different markets in Dallas, Columbus, Grand Rapids, Charlotte, and Nashville.
