5 Acts to See at BREAKAWAY Dallas 2026

Breakaway Dallas 2026 is returning to Fair Park for two days of electronic music on April 10–11. The festival is part of the growing Breakaway festival series that travels to cities around the United States, bringing major DJs and rising dance artists to outdoor venues. This year’s Dallas lineup includes more than twenty performers across multiple stages, mixing big headliners with underground and rising electronic acts. 


While names like FISHER, Sofi Tukker, and Eli Brown will draw some of the biggest crowds, part of the fun of festivals like Breakaway is discovering artists that might not be the top billing but still deliver great sets. Here are five sets that could be both popular with fans and a little underrated during the weekend.

  1. SG Lewis

One set to watch is SG Lewis performing a DJ set. Known for blending house, disco, and pop influences, his sets usually feel smooth and danceable while still energetic. Even though he has a big fan base, he sometimes flies slightly under the radar compared to heavier festival headliners.

2. Lilly Palmer

Another underrated act is Lilly Palmer. Her style leans into darker techno with strong driving beats. Fans who enjoy late-night techno sounds will likely find her set one of the most intense dance floors of the festival.

3. Mary Droppinz

Mary Droppinz is another artist who could surprise people. Her sets usually mix bass house and high-energy drops, which tends to get crowds moving quickly. She has been gaining momentum in the festival scene and could easily become one of the weekend highlights.

4. LYNY

Finally, LYNY could be one of the most exciting sleeper sets of the weekend. His bass-heavy sound and experimental style bring a completely different energy compared to the house-focused parts of the lineup.

5. Night Tales

Night Tales is an electronic duo known for blending deep house, R&B, and indie-style vocals into a really emotional, melodic sound. Unlike a typical DJ set, they often sing live and use instruments, which gives their performances more of a “live show” feel rather than just a club mix.

With a mix of big headliners and rising artists, Breakaway Dallas 2026 is shaping up to be a lively weekend for electronic music fans. While the biggest names will draw large crowds, some of the most memorable moments could come from these underrated performers who end up stealing the show.
