III Points Turns 13 as Wynwood’s Homegrown Festival
III Points has grown up alongside Wynwood. Since it started in 2013, the festival has taken over warehouse space in the neighborhood each year and mixed electronic music, hip-hop, indie rock and art installations in one place. For its 13th edition, the festival takes up more ground than ever at Mana Wynwood, with more than 10 stages spread across the campus.
That growth sets it apart from Miami’s other music weekends. Miami Music Week, the city’s spring takeover of electronic music, is built around Ultra and international dance tourism. III Points has kept a different identity: a festival programmed by Miami for Miami, which also happens to draw visitors from out of town.
Headliners Span Techno, House, Hip-Hop and Indie
The III Points 2026 lineup was announced in three waves. The first, in April, brought in Parcels, Adam Port, Four Tet, PAWSA, Underworld, Kelela, Lil’ Kim, Tokischa and a back-to-back set from Beltran and Ben Sterling. The second, in June, added Charlotte de Witte, Honey Dijon, Flying Lotus, Floating Points, Blood Orange, Seth Troxler, Men I Trust and Purity Ring.
The hip-hop programming stands out. GZA will perform “Liquid Swords” in full, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony brings its catalog to Wynwood, and Danny Brown adds a more experimental edge. Founder David Sinopoli said “Phase II completes the vision we set out for 2026,” describing a lineup meant to feel both nostalgic and futuristic.
Dance fans have plenty of options too: Kettama, Cloonee, Discolines, Odd Mob, Interplanetary Criminal, Sosa, MPH and back-to-back sets from Max Dean and Luke Dean and from Vintage Culture and Max Styler.
Miami Artists Get Center Stage
III Points backed up its local focus with numbers. A third lineup wave added more than 100 Miami acts, drawn from the city’s house, techno, hip-hop, Latin bass and experimental scenes. Names include Danny Daze, Dr. Rubinstein, DJ Sabi, KUJO, Lousy Lover and Bonita Applebumz, alongside Sister System, Thunderpony, Ms. Mada and Nicole Gallamini.
The festival also ran an open audition process this summer. In August, the III Points Open House at Las Rosas in Wynwood brought South Florida bands, producers and DJs together over two nights to compete for a place on the 2026 lineup, with Miami Community Radio broadcasting the shows. For local artists, a III Points slot puts them in front of a crowd that came for international headliners and leaves knowing some homegrown names.
Festival Upgrades Respond to Last Year’s Feedback
III Points made several changes to how the festival works on the ground. The Isotropic Stage, which drew complaints last year, now has a fully paved dance floor and a bigger footprint. Sector 3 has been expanded to give people more room to move between stages, and the S3QUENC3 stage moves to a new location with upgraded production.
The ::444:: stage, the festival’s audiophile-focused space, also returns. Organizers previewed these changes at their first industry press night at Mana Wynwood 320, a sign that the festival is investing as much in comfort and flow as in bookings.
VIP+ and On-Site Dining Add New Ways to Experience the Festival
For 2026, III Points is launching VIP+, a premium ticket tier with access to an artist lounge behind the Mind Melt stage and upgraded hospitality throughout the festival. The festival is also adding reservation dining, so attendees can book meals from Miami restaurants without leaving the grounds.
Both changes reflect where large festivals are heading: more ticket tiers and more spending inside the grounds. For local restaurants, the dining reservations are a chance to reach thousands of festivalgoers over one weekend in Wynwood.
What III Points 2026 Means for Wynwood
III Points brings tens of thousands of fans into Wynwood each year, which means busy restaurants, galleries and nightlife across the neighborhood. With a larger footprint and more stages, the 2026 edition is likely to reach further into the surrounding streets, and nearby businesses will feel that weekend through Saturday night.
