WYNWOOD — Miami’s homegrown music festival is going bigger for its 13th edition. III Points returns to Mana Wynwood on Oct. 16-17 with an expanded layout, more than 10 stages and a phase-two lineup announcement that deepens an already sprawling bill, Billboard reported.
The latest additions include Wu-Tang Clan’s GZA — who will perform his 1995 classic “Liquid Swords” in its entirety — along with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Danny Brown, Belgian techno star Charlotte de Witte, Flying Lotus and Honey Dijon, according to Billboard.
They join a phase-one bill headlined by British electronic veterans Underworld and Four Tet, alongside Blood Orange, Kelela, Tricky, Parcels, Men I Trust, PAWSA, HorsegiirL and drone-metal duo Sunn O))), per Miami New Times. Also on the bill: Kettama, Disco Lines, Daphni, Cloonee, VTSS, Haai and Hamdi.
A Festival That Sounds Like Miami
Across the lineup, the festival moves through techno, house, bass, experimental electronic music, indie, hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, drone metal and left-field pop — an eclecticism that has become III Points’ signature since its 2013 debut and a reflection of Wynwood’s own cultural mix.
Organizers are promising physical upgrades to match the musical ambition. The 2026 edition features increased square footage, immersive art installations, flooring improvements to the Isotropic Stage and the debut of an enhanced VIP+ experience, according to Mana Wynwood, the arts complex that has hosted the festival throughout its run.
The festival occupies a distinctive place in Miami’s music economy. Where Ultra Music Festival draws a global EDM audience to downtown each March, III Points has cultivated a more local, more genre-agnostic identity — booking underground electronic acts next to golden-era hip-hop and indie headliners, and staging it all inside the converted warehouses of the Wynwood arts district.
The October dates also position the festival as an unofficial kickoff to Miami’s fall cultural season, which builds toward Art Week in early December. Two-day general admission tickets and the new VIP tiers are on sale through the festival’s official channels, with single-day options typically released closer to the event, per JamBase.
