The Breakaway Music Festival that delighted audiences even as it horrified some homeowners rattled by the noise plans a return to Allianz Field in St. Paul’s Midway. Jerrod Fucci, president of the touring celebration of electronic dance music, has applied to the city of St. Paul for a sound-level variance for a “Breakaway Minnesota” event on June 6-7, a Friday and Saturday.

Details are still sparse, but the application requests sound-level variances from 2 to 11 p.m. both days, with pre-event sound checks beginning at 1 p.m. that Friday. “Further details on this event will be forthcoming,” reads a notice from the city.

Festival organizers last summer said the inaugural two-night celebration outside Allianz Field on June 28-29 drew some 24,000 patrons to the first major music event since the soccer stadium’s opening in 2019. Headlined by famed EDM DJ Illenium, the outdoor festival featured more than two-dozen local and national acts.

Ramsey County emergency dispatch also received some 200 noise complaints that weekend, most of them likely linked to the stadium.

In a written statement last July, festival organizers promised “further sound engineering studies to improve upon the layout of our event, hopefully mitigating more of the impact to local residents” before a “hopeful return to St. Paul in 2025.”

Minnesota was one of 11 advertised destinations for the festival this year, and organizers said last summer that it was the most well-attended by the season’s mid-point. A two-day Breakaway Music Festival planned for San Francisco on Oct. 25-26 will be headlined by famed DJ Marshmello.

An unrelated electronic dance music festival, the Forbidden Festival, had planned a one-day, open bar event outside Allianz Field in September but was canceled by its student organizer with days to go.
