There are plenty of people walking this same path with local establishments available to hang out at so you can have a date night while the kids are off at the show. Parents, if you’re thinking of dropping off your kids and returning for a pickup later, might I suggest the Embassy Suites or Canal Park on Monroe Avenue.

We live in a different world than we did even a handful of years ago, and a few parents have already reached out about the perception of safety at an event like this. One of my favorite additions: Centurion Security Solutions to help facilitate the safety of their crowd. SECURITY, NEIGHBORHOOD COURTESY AND TIPS FOR PARENTS
BREAKAWAY MUSIC FESTIVAL CHARLOTTE NC 2021 PROFESSIONAL
It’s one of my favorite hangouts over Breakaway weekend, because you don’t often see this many artists from our local DJ community working in unison for the betterment of our scene.Ī professional tip of the hat to Prime Social Group and MI Entertainment Group as they have made strides each year to include more West Michigan businesses and vendors as part of the event.
However, it’s important to check out another huge endeavor at the top of the hill, with Breakaway’s Silent Disco featuring an impressive list of 50-plus West Michigan DJs who will perform over the weekend. No question the main stage gets the starring role at Breakaway, as the natural setting allows fans to sit on the hill and experience the action, offering a very Red Rocks Amphitheatre feel about it.
Jai’s track, “Better Apart,” is one of my favorites, enhanced by Dresage’s angelic vocals. Jai Wolf’s approach will work quite nicely in Grand Rapids as West Michigan’s scene is heavily influenced by the likes of ODESZA and Pretty Lights. “They’re like Girl Talk on crack” is the way a good DJ friend recently described them… Meanwhile, Sidepiece’s dance-floor smash with Diplo called “On My Mind” has always been a top pick for me, and they’re coming off of a massive performance at Lollapalooza. Two Friends quick-mix mash-up style encompassing a multitude of genres is almost unexplainable. Other performances to watch? L.A’s Two Friends and Miami’s Sidepiece on Friday night, along with Jai Wolf on Saturday night. (No, I’m not actually suggesting he is a one-hit artist: A few years back, I saw DJ Snake at Detroit’s seminal Movement Electronic Music Festival, and when the chorus of “Turn Down for What dropped it was absolute pandemonium - almost on par with something you might see at a Metallica concert.) While personally I have never been a huge fan of acts that are anchored by one hit, I’m excited to see how he leads up to his finale.
Headlining Friday night’s lineup, Alex Pall and Drew Taggart’s vocal-heavy writing style are certain to resonate with a seasoned crowd that Grand Rapids tends to bring forth: When I saw them perform at their Las Vegas residency at XS Nightclub, I witnessed their ability to whip the crowd into an almost unprecedented frenzy during an anthemic journey of their hits.įrance’s DJ Snake, best known for his arena anthem, “Turn Down for What,” will certainly love West Michigan, especially with the diversity of his trap and bass house style offerings. Touring Behind ‘So Far So Good’: The Chainsmokers (Courtesy Photo)īreakaway’s largest booking to date, NYC’s electronic music act The Chainsmokers, will arrive in Grand Rapids in support of the duo’s newest record, “So Far So Good,” anchored by their chart-topping hits, “Closer” and “Something Just Like This.”
