Miami’s esteemed music, arts, and culture festival III Points has unveiled the first phase of its 2026 lineup, setting the stage for another landmark year ahead. The lineup leans into the festival’s genre-defying curation, spanning electronic heavyweights, cult favorites, and boundary-pushing live acts. The festival returns for its 13th edition at Mana Wynwood on Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17, introducing increased square footage, 10+ stages, immersive art installations, flooring improvement to the Isotropic Stage, and enhanced VIP offerings. Known for its fearless programming and cultural impact, III Points is set to further solidify its position as one of Miami’s most influential cultural forces in 2026.
“This lineup represents everything we stand for - a fearless, genre-fluid curation that reflects the diversity and energy of our city,” says III Points co-founder David Sinopoli. “Thirteen years in, our commitment to the Miami music community remains our north star, and we look forward to what’s in store for this year’s festival."
Headliners include electronic music pioneer Underworld, Four Tet – one of the most beloved figures in UK experimental dance music – and Berlin-based techno force 999999999. The Phase I lineup leans deep into a nocturnal, dancefloor-forward sensibility, welcoming Adam Port's sophisticated house textures, the high-voltage back-to-back of Beltran and Ben Sterling, and the driving house energy of PAWSA. From there, the programming broadens its reach considerably, R&B visionary Kelela brings her glacial, avant-garde sound, while trip-hop originator Tricky adds a rare and brooding live presence to the bill. Rising talents KI/KI and rising Spanish indie-pop talent rusowsky point toward the future of club music, and the playful pop-funk of Parcels offers a melodic counterweight. Rounding out the announcement are hip-hop icon Lil' Kim, reggaeton rule-breaker Tokischa, the kinetic DJ sets of horsegiirL, and the hypnotic euphoria of ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U – a testament to the festival's fearlessly eclectic programming, with more names still to come.
More than just a festival, III Points has become a cultural cornerstone of Miami’s music and arts scene, known for pushing boundaries and curating forward-thinking experiences. Since its inception, it has served as a launchpad for emerging talent, a haven for underground icons, and a magnet for global acts unafraid to experiment. Its home in Wynwood - Miami’s creative epicenter - mirrors the festival’s ethos: vibrant, progressive, and unapologetically bold. With each edition, III Points continues to redefine what a modern festival can be, blurring lines between genres, scenes, and sensory experiences.
