Who We’re Most Hyped to See at Breakaway Dallas 2025

With Breakaway Dallas 2025 just around the corner, we’re already building our game plan and by that, we mean frantically deciding who we cannot miss. The lineup is stacked, and while we’re ready to soak in the whole experience, there are a few names that immediately shot to the top of our list.

Slander is priority number one. No debate.

Slander is one of those acts we’ll always show up for. Their sets are emotional, explosive, and cathartic in the best way. Whether they’re playing melodic hits like “Love Is Gone” or flipping into something heavy, you feel it in your chest and your feelings. This is a main stage moment we’re planning our entire Friday night around.

Louis The Child — guaranteed to make you dance

There’s something about a Louis The Child set that just feels like summer. Funky, bouncy, feel-good energy. It’s the kind of set you vibe through with your friends, probably while waving a drink in the air and yelling every word. We’re hoping for a good mix of their older stuff and the newer tracks they’ve been teasing lately.

Zedd — a certified classic

Zedd’s been in the game for over a decade and somehow still manages to deliver a clean, cinematic set every time. From “Clarity” to “Stay the Night” to whatever remix he’s got up his sleeve next, we’re ready for a dose of nostalgia mixed with big production and massive crowd energy.

Spotlight: Two rising acts we’re checking out

Aside from the headliners, we’re also really excited to discover some new faves. Two smaller artists caught our attention on this year’s lineup:

• Evan Giia – We’ve been hearing buzz around her live vocals and unique electro-pop sound. Her stage presence looks incredible, and honestly, any artist that can sing live and still keep the crowd jumping is worth seeing.
• Kenzi Sway – Repping the local scene, Kenzi’s name is popping up more and more in Dallas. Her sound leans dark and bass-heavy — exactly the kind of surprise set that could turn into one of our festival highlights.
