SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

The Breakaway Music Festival is hosting its inaugural event in Sacramento at Cal Expo, bringing electronic dance music to the city after three years in San Francisco.

The festival features three stages and dozens of performances. Day one was marked with performances from Tiesto, Elderbrook and Malaa. Martin Garrix and Louis the Child will headline day two.

"It's great. I love it. We're happy to be here and excited for the next two days," festivalgoer Ryan McAuliffe said.
