BREAKAWAY LINEUP FULL
I hope this list of must see artists at Breakaway is helpful! It’s full of genre variety, totally different energy, but equally good vibes. Returning to Grand Rapids for the fifth year, this two-day festival features a diverse lineup highlighting EDM, hip-hop, and pop music genres. If you need a fire song by them to check out, listen to their fan-favorite track “Better Not” on their Kids At Play EP: I also caught some of their practically-secret set at Electric Forest this year. I saw their full set at Firefly this year and it has made its way into one of my all-time top favorite sets ever. They get down and jam, they add layers of multiple genres in their sets and they are genuinely entertaining! Especially for how young they are, their talent and maturity is mind-blowing.
This dynamic duo is truly unstoppable in my mind. For some downtempo feels, too, check out one of his latest singles, “May We Meet Again.” He also recently remixed Alison Wonderland’s hit song, “Peace” and it’s absolutely fire.įinally, my number one, top, MUST SEE pick for Breakaway is Louis The Child. He dropped Herobust’s “WTF” in his set, that’s how you know you’ll be breaking your neck at Breakaway. My first Kaivon set was at Spring Awakening this year and it was nothing short of a complete roller coaster of emotions in the best way possible! If you want someone that can definitely go hard, this guy can do it all. I mean, come on, you have heard the song “So Close,” right?! I’m excited that Breakaway will be my first full Felix Jaehn set, and there’s no chance I’m missing it, and you shouldn’t either. I got to meet him at a MMW afterparty and he was the kindest, sweetest guy! All the more reason to show love and support. I really discovered him during Miami Music Week this year and haven’t stopped obsessing since! I only caught a little bit of a set he played during a MMW pool party, but it was enough to know I. This will be my first time seeing a Matoma set, but I think his tracks are so amazing, I’m confident enough to say this is a can’t miss set! Personally, I can’t get enough of his song, "Slow" with vocals by Noah Cyrus.įor some seriously fun, danceable, tropical house vibes, you won’t want to miss Felix Jaehn. I’m a sucker for music that puts me in my feels and Matoma’s music does just that, but in a super good vibes upbeat way! I wasn’t familiar with too many of his songs, but one of my best friends who is also going to Breakaway who knows my music taste was spitting out song suggestions to me and you guessed it, I’m hooked.
If you need a great song to get you in the zone of what PLS&TY has to offer, check out his fan favorite track, “Good Vibes.” I caught a short, intimate set he played at Firefly this year (where he dropped Sound of Walking Away by Illenium, so yeah! INSTANT fan!) and was hooked. Pronounced “please and thank you,” PLS&TY is absolutely crushing 2019 with incredible tunes including tracks like “Run Wild,” “Feeling Forever,” and my personal favorite, “Motives.” I’m actually a pretty new PLS&TY fan and I’m so glad to know him before I get to Breakaway.
