The producer in the marshmallow helmet, who turned festival-sized melodic drops into a pop career without ever showing his face — 'Alone', 'Silence' and 'Happier' all live here.
Breakaway Philadelphia 2026 Lineup
Two September nights on the Delaware River, with Tiësto opening the weekend and Marshmello closing it.
About Breakaway Philadelphia 2026
Breakaway is a touring festival brand that plays over a dozen U.S. cities a year, and the Philadelphia stop takes over the Festival Grounds at Subaru Park — the soccer stadium's riverfront lot in Chester, about twenty minutes down I-95 from Center City. Two nights, 4pm to midnight both days, 18+.
The two days are pitched differently. Friday is the house and open-format night: Tiësto headlining, Sofi Tukker bringing the only live-vocal set on the bill, and Malaa working under his harder Alter Ego alias. Saturday turns toward bass and trap — ISOxo, Devault and Whethan up top, with Marshmello closing, which for once is a hometown booking rather than a touring one.
Lineups are printed A-Z per day, so the day splits are official even though set times aren't out yet. Three club-tier names sit under each headline block; those are the slots most likely to move once the schedule lands.
Expect electronic, house, dubstep and bass across 26 acts.

Search it, filter by day, stage or genre — save anything straight to your schedule.
The elder statesman of big-tent dance music — trance godfather turned arena-house fixture, still detonating 'The Business'-sized hooks three decades in.
LA duo dealing in feelings-first melodic bass — soaring vocal drops built for crowd-wide singalongs.
Avello
Capochino
Grammy-winning house producer with an ear for the vocal hook that lands at 1am — runs the Night Service Only label and has been a fixture of the US club circuit for a decade.
An anonymous, masked bass project that treats its own identity as an unsolved puzzle — cryptic rollouts wrapped around heavy, cinematic drops.
Dark, cinematic bass and techno crossovers from the LA underground — trap-schooled drops recast in warehouse shadows.
Hills
Weaponised trap built for a festival's loudest twenty minutes — bright, brutal drops from one of the sharpest young producers in American bass.
KLO
Los Angeles bass and UK garage, built for the sound-system end of the room — an underground following and cosigns from Disclosure, Fred Again and Hamdi.
Norwegian brothers making melodic, festival-facing house — polished grooves engineered for golden-hour main stages, sleek Scandinavian craft with real emotional lift.
New York techno raised on Drumcode — driving and melodic rather than austere, built for rooms where techno still has to move a festival crowd.
MACHAKI
The balaclava-wearing French producer's darker alias — the same refusal to show a face, pointed at harder, more club-facing bass house.
Jungle-pop party duo — bilingual bangers and permanent grins, 'Purple Hat' chaos with actual guitar chops.
Starjunk 95
Swimming Paul
Tavatli
Chicago's future-bass wunderkind, grown into a versatile electro-pop craftsman — collabs across pop's whole spectrum, festival sets with pop fluency.

Brainrack
Gazza
Juls

RLPZ
The headliners
- Tiësto — The elder statesman of big-tent dance music — trance godfather turned arena-house fixture, still detonating 'The Business'-sized hooks three decades in.
- Marshmello — The producer in the marshmallow helmet, who turned festival-sized melodic drops into a pop career without ever showing his face — 'Alone', 'Silence' and 'Happier' all live here.
Up-and-comers to catch early
- KLO — An LA bass and UK-garage riser who has been climbing festival undercards all year — worth catching in a tent before the rooms get bigger.
- Tavatli — One of Saturday's least-known names and the sort of booking Breakaway tends to be early on.
- Capochino — A dubstep name that keeps turning up on this year's bass bills — one of the heavier bookings on the Friday undercard.
- 2ŁØT — Melodic bass with a pop-leaning ear; a Steve Aoki remix credit is the tell for where this is heading.
Other acts worth planning around
- Marshmello — The Saturday closer, and a Philadelphia native — the rare headliner playing an hour from where he grew up.
- Tiësto — Friday's closer and the elder statesman of the weekend, still the most reliable big-room set in dance music.
- SOFI TUKKER — The only act here performing rather than DJing — live vocals and guitar in the middle of a two-day DJ bill.
- Malaa (Alter Ego) — Not the usual Malaa set — the Alter Ego alias runs darker and harder than the main project.
- ISOxo — Saturday's heaviest draw, and the act most responsible for what young bass music sounds like right now.
