We Belong Here has officially unveiled the lineup for its fifth anniversary in Miami, and it is the most ambitious and expansive booking in the festival’s history. Returning to Historic Virginia Key Beach Park from February 27 to March 1, the beloved Miami staple will expand to three full days for the first time, marking a major milestone for the community-driven festival.
This year’s lineup brings together a carefully curated mix of major global headliners, long-time festival favorites, and new artists making their We Belong Here Miami debut. Leading the announcement are first-time Miami appearances at the festival from Chris Lake, Tiesto, Gorgon City, and Elderbrook performing a DJ set, alongside the highly anticipated return of Lane 8 and Kaskade’s Redux set.
Staying true to the immersive ethos that has defined the festival since its inception, all headliners will perform extended sets lasting at least two hours. Tiesto and Lane 8 are set to deliver three-hour sunset performances, fully leaning into the scenic magic of Virginia Key and the slow build moments that have become synonymous with We Belong Here weekends.
The festival’s signature 360-degree Main Stage will also welcome back Lost Frequencies and Bakermat, both returning after performing at the original Miami edition in 2022. New additions to the 360 stage include D O D, Kevin de Vries, Nimino performing a DJ set, Philou, Molly, Tiffy Vera, and RØZ, marking their first appearances at the festival and expanding the sonic range across the weekend.
In total, more than 50 artists will perform across the Main Stage, Beach Stage, and Lost Village, continuing We Belong Here’s approach of blending international headliners with emerging and local talent in a thoughtfully paced and community-forward environment.
Since first touching down on the shores of Virginia Key, We Belong Here has grown from a boutique dance music gathering into one of Miami’s most intentional festivals. Deeply rooted in the 305, the brand has expanded into West Palm Beach, Tampa, and New York, while maintaining Miami as its spiritual home.
“Reaching five years in Miami feels surreal,” said co-founder Justin Dauman in a press release sent to the New Times. “Historic Virginia Key Beach Park is where it all began for us, and this lineup reflects both our roots and how far we’ve grown. It’s a celebration of the artists, the city, and the community that’s been with us since day one.”
Beyond the lineup, the fifth anniversary edition introduces notable experience upgrades shaped by attendee feedback. The food and beverage program expands through the festival’s continued partnership with Smorgasburg, alongside a larger showcase of visual art installations highlighting local artists. Updated transportation options will also be introduced, including round-trip shuttles from Midtown and South Beach.
“Our goal has always been to create moments that feel personal, intentional, and unforgettable,” added co-founder Charles Hochfelder. “The energy, the setting, and the music all come together in a way that feels uniquely Miami.”
For out-of-town attendees, We Belong Here continues its partnership with Moxy South Beach, offering exclusive hotel rates and a stay experience designed to extend the spirit of the weekend beyond the festival grounds.
