Hey, music lovers!
If you're anything like me, you probably had an absolute blast at the Breakaway Music Festival that took place at the Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City. The energy was electric, the crowd was buzzing, and the music was out of this world.
The festival featured an incredible lineup of headliners, including Griz, RL Grime, Zedd, Knock2, Dombresky, and Liquid Stranger. Each artist brought their unique sound, creating an unforgettable experience for festival-goers. Griz had us grooving with his funky live saxophone performance, RL Grime blew us away with his bass-heavy drops, and Zedd had everyone jumping to his infectious melodic beats. And let’s not forget the mind-blowing performances by Knock2, Dombresky, and Liquid Stranger – they absolutely crushed it!
We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Olathe, which was a quieter part of town, just a quick Uber away from the festival.
We woke up every day ready to stuff our faces with the delicious complimentary breakfast buffet!!!
For all of our other meals, Kansas City had some phenomenal food options to fuel up!
