2025 is shaping up to be a revolutionary year. Breakaway Music Festival announced that all 12 of its 2025 festivals will accept cryptocurrency. Ravers will use Bitcoin for tickets, ultra VIP bottle service, and more. This pioneering approach underscores Breakaway’s dedication to innovation, firmly positioning it at the cutting edge of the music industry’s technological evolution.
Breakaway Festival 2025
Since its launch, Breakaway has rapidly emerged as the fastest-growing independent music brand. They have captivated festival-goers across the U.S. with a dynamic blend of music, culture, and community. With the exciting announcement last month, 2025 will be a big year expanding the roster to 12 markets. This will include the addition of vibrant new venues in Atlanta, Dallas, Huntsville, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Having already made waves in the blockchain and cryptocurrency landscape, Breakaway has been instrumental in the creation of the first-ever blockchain-powered music festival, Our Music Festival. This transformation not only updates Breakaway’s ticketing process but also embodies the festival’s dedication to progress and inclusivity, creating a renewed sense of freedom both on and off the dancefloor.
We’re excited to expand our offerings and embrace the future of payments by accepting cryptocurrency at all of our 2025 festival dates. As the music industry continues to evolve, we’re committed to adapting to the needs of our fans and staying ahead of the curve. By accepting cryptocurrency, we’re providing our fans with more flexibility and convenience, while also supporting the growth of the cryptocurrency community in the markets we’re serving next year and beyond.1

It’s also worth noting that Breakaway’s groundbreaking move arrives amid a feverishly bullish US crypto market. The price of Bitcoin over the weekend rose above $80,000 for the first time ever, and it now sits north of $89,000 at the time of this writing. Major altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, Ripple and Sui have followed suit with unprecedented gains. This momentum signals a new era for both the music and crypto industries, making now the perfect time to embrace this change.
Breakaway has a rich history of blending an exciting variety of dance music with top-tier production. They have featured iconic artists like The Chainsmokers, Zedd, Illenium, Tiësto, John Summit, Slander. Also Halsey, Griz, Gryffin, Alison Wonderland, Louis the Child, Dom Dolla, deadmau5, Quinn XCII, Knock2, Lane 8, and many more. Check out the full schedule and purchase your 2025 passes here.
