Breakaway has spent 2026 expanding aggressively, and the Salt Lake City debut is the clearest statement of what the brand thinks it can do in a new market. Arriving at America First Field October 2–3, the inaugural Breakaway Utah will run 20-plus acts across three stages, headlined by John Summit, Chris Lake, Tiësto, a Kaskade sunset set, and a Gorgon City b2b MPH set. It is, by a wide margin, the most house-forward bill Breakaway has assembled this year—a deliberate inversion of the bass-heavy programming that has defined several of the tour’s other stops.
Kaskade’s sunset set is the emotional center of the weekend and the booking most likely to be remembered. Two decades into a career that helped define American progressive and melodic house, Kaskade at golden hour in the mountains is the kind of scheduling that writes itself.
John Summit and Chris Lake carry the peak-time weight, and putting both on one bill is a genuine flex—Summit’s Experts Only run and Lake’s decade-long consistency represent two different but equally dominant approaches to the same genre. The Gorgon City b2b MPH set is a first, and pairs the London duo’s polished house with MPH’s harder, UK-facing edge.
Beneath the headliners, the house and techno depth is real: Max Styler, KASABLANCA, Jackie Hollander, Roddy Lima, and Soraya all appear, with Soraya continuing a breakout run that’s put her on the industry’s radar. Audien and Trivecta bring the melodic mainstage energy, Frank Walker and Niiko x SWAE fill the middle, and BONNIE X CLYDE, Ares Carter, Mojave Grey, and Brandi Cyrus round out the national bill.
Bass isn’t ignored, just outnumbered. Ray Volpe, HEYZ, HerShe, and a LAYZ b2b TYNAN set give the heavier crowd somewhere to go. Two-day GA, VIP, Ultimate VIP, and Terrace passes are available through the Breakaway website.
