Ultra Music Festival and Art Basel are the most widely known festivals that occur place in Miami each year, but they are is not the only multi-day music event happening in the Southern tip of Florida. Since it is warm nearly year-round in Miami, organizers can take advantage of the climate and schedule events beyond the traditional summer months. This fall III Points Festival will return to the Mana Wynwood in Miami's artsy Wynwood neighborhood. The lineup exudes a coolness with its bookings, including names like Run The Jewels, Panda Bear, Ghostface Killah, Nicolas Jaar and many more.
Other names added to the lineup include a wide variety of international and local acts including Soul Clap, XXYYXX, The Field, Bonobo, Totally Extinct Dinosaurs, Warpaint and others.
Though the lineup is skewed towards trendier underground electronic music, there are some indie and hip-hop acts that give the lineup some variety. The aforementioned artists Ghostface Kllah and Run The Jewels will be among the biggest hip-hop names on the bill next to MF Doom (Live from the Other Side of Time). Warpaint and Alunageorge will add some pop-indie flavor to the festival. Unfortunately, many of the live-electronic acts that would normally bring their live band to a festival, like Bonobo and Totally Extinct Dinosaurs, are only doing DJ sets, but the music will still be top-quality.
III Points Festival will occur from Oct. 9-11. The festival claims to be a "three-day living installation," which highlights local artists, musicians and vendors. Beyond the quality music highlighted in the lineup, there will be three days of BBQ's showcases, demos, lectures, panels and gallery shows. The music will be shown on four fully immersive stage designs.
Tickets start at just $88 for a three-day pass. Purchase them on III Points' website here. See the full lineup above.
