“We’re so excited to return to Arizona,” Breakaway Co-Founder Zach Ruben said in the festival’s announcement. “After seeing the passion and energy from the community in our debut year, it became clear this was a place where Breakaway could continue to build something special.”

With the festival now just two hours away, excitement is building as fans prepare for day one of Breakaway Arizona. Halftime Arizona will be on-site bringing updates throughout the day on Instagram, including coverage from the festival grounds, crowd moments, performances and key highlights from the opening day.

Breakaway Arizona will once again be held in partnership with Relentless Beats and Riot Hospitality Group. The festival will also continue its partnership with CELSIUS®, which returns as the official presenting sponsor for the third consecutive year. According to the announcement, CELSIUS® will provide interactive fan experiences and complimentary product sampling throughout the weekend.
