Ladies and gentlemen, ravers and bassheads, it’s once again that time of year when Miami gets flooded with pop-ups, parties, and festivals for Miami Music Week. Expect to hear house music everywhere you go, for traffic to somehow get even worse, and for every girl you know, and every aspiring DJ you’ve ever met, to suddenly start asking for the guest list.
Over the years, MMW has grown into quite the spectacle, rivaling Art Basel in the sheer number of “if you know, you know” and “you had to be there” moments scattered across the city. With the Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival serving as the week’s original anchors, the celebration has expanded far beyond the convention halls and festival grounds.
From massive club takeovers and warehouse raves to pool parties, pop-ups, and even the occasional coffee shop DJ set, there’s no escaping house music during Miami Music Week. With that in mind, we took a look at some of the best parties and events happening across the city this week, whether they’re in an abandoned factory, the biggest nightclubs in Miami Beach, or somewhere you’d never expect.
Experts Only at Club Space
The brand that John Summit has built and taken to festivals and parties all over the world has once again decided to stop by Miami, this time taking over the entirety of Club Space to help kick off Miami Music Week on the Terrace, Floyd, and the Ground. The lineup consists of local favorites such as Marte, Experts Only regulars like Max Styler, and OGs like DJ Tennis. There’s also a surprise guest set to take the stage, and we’re guessing it may be a former accountant from Chicago. 11 p.m. Tuesday, March 24 at Club Space, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; 702-738-1333; clubspace.com. Tickets cost $70 to $162 via dice.fm.
Perreo del Futuro at the Ground
For those unfamiliar with Perreo del Futuro, it’s not your average reggaeton party. The collective has been pushing neoperreo, a futuristic take on the genre that blends traditional perreo with bass-heavy club sounds, hyperpop energy, and an unapologetically sexy attitude. For Miami Music Week, they’re bringing in Six Sex, one of the movement’s most exciting voices, whose chaotic blend of reggaeton, electronic, and internet core club music has been blowing up dance floors worldwide. If you’re looking for something that breaks away from the usual house and techno marathon of MMW, this is the party that’ll keep things sweaty, weird, and wildly fun. 11 p.m, Wednesday, March 25, at the Ground, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; 786-357-6456; thegroundmiami.com. Tickets cost $15 to $25 via dice.fm.
DJ Mag Presents at the Sagamore
There’s a reason DJ Mag chose Cloonee to be its cover star for the first quarter issue of DJ Mag 2026. The UK-born tech house superstar has consistently grown into one of the genre’s most reliable acts, dropping some of the grooviest tracks, putting on high-production shows, and releasing some of the dopest merch through his Hellbent label. The party is also set to feature fellow rising UK favorite Ben Sterling and openers such as Omar+. It’s going to be one hell of a pool party. 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at the Sagamore Hotel South Beach, 1671 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-535-8088; sagamoresouthbeach.com. Tickets cost $63 to $305 via eventbrite.com.
Justice (DJ Set) at Factory Town
When Justice returned to the forefront, they made quite the statement with their comeback to live shows, turning them into spectacles that blew everyone’s minds. Now the duo is set to take over the Infinity Room to kick off the weeklong activities at Factory Town. Is there a better, more legendary choice for this? We think not. The duo is stepping back from their all-out production for a more laid-back DJ set reminiscent of their earlier shows. Still, we can’t wait to see them make everyone D.A.N.C.E. 10 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at Infinity Room at Factory Town, 4800 NW 37th Ave., Miami; 305-484-6236; factorytown.com. Tickets cost $67.20 via dice.fm.
Pardon My French
DJ Snake, one of the biggest DJs in the world, is set to return not only to Ultra Miami but also to ToeJam for a special hip-hop back-to-back with one of the genre’s biggest experts, A-Trak. The rest of the lineup screams 2016 in the best way possible, with Dillon Francis and Flosstradamus teaming up for their own B2B, alongside TroyBoi and more. It’s the kind of nostalgia-fueled lineup that’s bound to make this one of the most fun parties of the week. 8 p.m., Thursday, March 26, at Toe Jam XL, 150 NW 21st St., Miami; 305-759-9277; toejambacklot.com. Tickets cost $63 to $150 via dice.fm
MoBlack Records at Toe Jam Backlot
For those who need a deep Afro-house fix, look no further than the MoBlack Records showcase. The lineup includes MoBlack himself, along with one of Afro-house’s most beloved names, Haitian-born Francis Mercier, alongside Ape Drums of Major Lazer, who will be going B2B with Caiiro. It’s shaping up to be one of the best parties of the week for dancing the night away. 8 p.m, Thursday, March 26, Toe Jam Backlot, 150 NW 21st St., Miami; 305-759-9277; toejambacklot.com. Tickets cost $50.69 via dice.fm
Solid Grooves at Club Space
Solid Grooves has become one of the most dominant brands in the global house scene, turning its Ibiza residencies and label showcases into must see events wherever they land. Naturally, the crew is bringing the party back to Miami Music Week, taking over Club Space for what’s almost guaranteed to be one of the busiest nights of the week. While the official lineup has yet to be announced, speculation is already running wild. Based on artists who frequently release with the label and who are already confirmed to be in town for MMW, don’t be surprised if names like Michael Bibi, ChaseWest, KinAhau, Ben Sterling, Pawsa, and Carlita end up appearing on the bill. Regardless of who ultimately shows up, Solid Grooves parties have built a reputation for marathon sets, packed dance floors, and some of the grooviest minimal house you’ll hear all week. 11 p.m. Friday, March 27, at Club Space, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; 786-357-6456; clubspace.com. Tickets cost $50 to $252 via dice.fm.
Ministry of Sound x Hard Times at Sable
House heads are going to want to circle this one immediately. Ministry of Sound and Hard Times, two of the most legendary institutions in UK club culture, are linking up for a Miami Music Week takeover that brings serious credibility to the dance floor. Leading the charge is Dennis Ferrer, one of the most respected names in house music and the producer behind timeless records like “Hey Hey.” Expect a night rooted in soulful grooves, deep house rhythms, and the kind of proper club energy that defined the golden era of dance music. In a week packed with massive production and superstar DJs, this one is for the purists who just want to dance. Friday, March 27, 7 p.m. Sable Miami, 2219 NW 2nd Ave, Miami; 305 209-5758; sablemiami.com. Tickets cost $49 via dice.fm.
Black Coffee at the Hialeah Racetrack
The Hialeah Racetrack has been gaining traction as a venue for artists to perform, recently being used for events like 305 Day. This time, famed Afro-house DJ and producer Black Coffee is set to take over the venue alongside Carlita and Kaz James for what is sure to be one of the more unique and exciting parties of the week. 6 p.m., Saturday, March 28, at Hialeah Park Casino, 2200 E 4th Ave., Hialeah, 305-885-8000; hialeahparkcasino.com. Tickets cost $85 to $200 via dice.fm
Steve Aoki and Friends at E11even Miami
Steve Aoki may be celebrating 30 years of Dim Mak at Ultra, but we’re sure his appearance at E11even is going to be just as wild, if not more. The club, in particular, is known for its over-the-top, upscale decadence, making for one of the more chaotic nights of the week, as the EDM veteran is sure to deliver one hell of a show. 8 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at E11even Miami, 29 NE 11th St, Miami; 305-829-2911; 11miami.com. Tickets cost $82.63 via speakeasygo.com
