The first Bay Area edition of the multi-city Breakaway Music Festival is now set to take place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, according to a Tuesday, Oct. 4 update from promoter Another Planet Entertainment.
The West Coast edition of the long-running festival was originally scheduled to take place at the Oakland Arena Grounds on October 14-15 – the same weekend Another Planet hosted its Treasure Island Music Festival before scrapping it in 2019 after a decade at its namesake location.

No reason was given for the change in location from the arena parking lot, which has a capacity of about 20,000, to the Bill Graham Civic, which holds 8,500. But the festival lineup and dates remain. the same.
