Day 1: High Energy and Unforgettable Vibes
Driving into Bonner Springs, the music’s bass vibrated through the car from a mile away, setting the tone for an epic weekend. Smiling fans in colorful, creative outfits greeted attendees, signaling a high-energy atmosphere. The Launch Pad stage kicked off with local DJs, igniting an instant dance party despite the 90-degree Kansas heat. Sponsors like Ignite Vapes, Sunny D, and various food trucks lined the area, enhancing the festival experience. A standout feature was the free water refill stations provided by Breakaway and Azura Amphitheater—a game-changer for festivalgoers.
The Silent Disco, sponsored by Monaco, featured over 30 DJs, each delivering sets that kept the crowd moving. Attendees danced freely, immersed in their headphone-fueled worlds. Moving to the main stage, local vendors like From the Earth Dispensaries and Loose Lucy’s offered EDM accessories, while the Celsius station provided refreshing drinks. The evening’s highlight was Two Friends, whose infectious energy and unique saxophone-fueled fire effects made Kansas City feel like the heart of EDM. With stunning lighting and pyrotechnics, day one set a high bar.

Day 2: Female Powerhouses and Fan Connections
Day two matched the first’s intensity, starting strong with a main stage performance by Breakaway’s ambassador, Anna Lillis (ALIL). Her set, the first female-led performance of the weekend, was electrifying. Following her, Coco & Breezy brought indie-beach vibes to the Launch Pad stage, captivating the crowd with their unique sound. These performances showcased the growing presence of women in EDM, setting a dynamic tone for the day.
Evening sets by Disco Lines and Dom Dolla kept the energy soaring, with Slander headlining the night with jaw-dropping visuals, flames, and intricate dance moves. A highlight of day two was the fan interactions. From coordinated group outfits themed around CostCo to a lively bachelorette party, attendees embraced the festival’s inclusive spirit. Unlike some festivals where fandom rivalries can emerge, Breakaway fostered a welcoming environment where everyone focused on enjoying the music and moment.
