Welcome to
The Breakbeat
The Breakbeat is an immersive performance venue in downtown Chico where music, sound, lighting, and digital art are designed as a single experience. From touring musicians to electronic artists and multimedia events, every show is presented through a world-class L-Acoustics DJ spatial audio system that places audiences inside the performance rather than simply in front of it.

The Breakbeat is a space where live music, visual art, immersive audio, workshops, and community come together. Located in downtown Chico, we create experiences that inspire connection, creativity, and discovery.
