Every day, it seems like the gaming industry is taking on a new challenge. XSET, the popular gaming and lifestyle organization, has announced their official partnership with one of the US's largest touring music festivals; Breakaway Music Festival.

Gaming meets the music industry: XSET to partner with the Breakaway Music Festival
Starting in 2016, the Breakaway Music Festival has brought together some of the most prominent artists in music. Singers such as Chance the Rapper, Kendrick Lamar and more have performed at some of these events.
This time, XSET is taking a little share of the glory during their 2023 event in Boston, Massachusetts.

Being a Boston headquartered organization, XSET is the perfect company to partner with the touring music festival.
"Breakaway is an extraordinary leader in the festival space that has evolved into a lifestyle brand at the pinnacle of culture and music,” said Greg Selkoe, CEO and Co-founder of XSET. "We’re honored to partner with a company that shares similar values to XSET on our journey to becoming the go-to lifestyle and gaming brand for all."
The 2023 Breakaway Music Festival started its tour in early May and will be wrapping up in mid-October.
XSET to have their own day prior to the event
While the official Boston event will take place in September, XSET will be having their own "XSET Day" this July. The organization will be taking over Fenway Park for one day. Gamers will get to partake in various activities, including a gaming lounge held at the field.
