There will be 25 nationally touring artists performing on multiple stages over two days<\/a>, including headliners Ti\u00ebsto on Friday and Dom Dolla on Saturday.<\/p>\n Organizers say the experience is going to be immersive with pyrotechnics, lasers, fire and video displays.<\/p>\n “Everyone can tap their foot and have a good time to a DJ,” Fucci said. “The dance music community is such a special place.”<\/p>\n Big picture view:<\/p>\n Festival organizers say the event brings around 200 local jobs to the area.<\/p>\n “Breakaway is a special event like many of the events that come here. They not only help us out at the Tampa Sports Authority by filling this building, but they also bring a huge economic impact to the city, the county and this community,” David Moss, vice president of stadium operations for the Tampa Sports Authority, said.<\/p>\n On Friday morning, before the festival gates officially opened at 4 p.m., Breakaway welcomed a very special group of VIPs with Project Focus, a Tampa-based nonprofit serving young adults with developmental disabilities. Many of the nonprofit\u2019s programs focus on the arts.<\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n “We utilize music, dance, movement as a powerful, therapeutic tool to help build confidence, to build social and communication skills and to build that independence that we all strive for,” Project Focus executive director Clayton Clemens said.<\/p>\n Courtesy: Nate Sukley\/Breakaway <\/p>\n During the tour, the group got a close-up look at the stages, sound equipment and day-of preparations.<\/p>\n “Music is my passion,” Zachary Mueller, 30, who participates in programs with Project Focus, told FOX 13. “The tour is good. I love the stage with the artists.”<\/p>\n Event details <\/p>\n For more details on the Breakaway schedule, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tampa<\/a>Entertainment<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, Fla. – Tens of thousands of electronic dance music (EDM) fans are expected at Raymond James Stadium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[104,47,629,115,135,137,136,628],"class_list":["post-236198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-entertainment","tag-fl","tag-hillsborough","tag-news","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/vlcsnap-2026-04-17-17h19m42s337.png\")
