You need not worry about the fear of an unlucky 13th edition of III Points Musical Festival. The annual gathering at Mana Wynwood, which brings together the biggest names in international, national, and local touring musicians, will return in 2026 on Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17. III Points announced in a press release yesterday that attendees can expect an even bigger III Points, “featuring 10+ stages and an expanded festival footprint. This year’s updates include increased overall square footage, an enhanced VIP experience, and improvements to the Isotropic stage.”
Those interested can already purchase “Prophet Passes (lowest-priced tickets) available now at iiipoints.com with just a $0.01 deposit; pass holders receive access to an exclusive t-shirt available at checkout.”
The two-day general admission tickets end up being $209, while you’ll need to double up for VIP two-day passes at $425. They call them Prophet Passes because you’ll have to buy them blind with faith that you’ll enjoy the line-up when they eventually announce it, but you probably won’t have to wait too long to know who’s on the bill. 2025’s III Points was held on the same mid-October weekend, and they made their phase 1 lineup announcement on April 22. Among the musicians announced in that Phase 1 lineup last year were South Korean DJ producer Peggy Gou, hardcore punk act Turnstile, dancehall pop star Sean Paul, singer-songwriter Mk.gee, British tech-house producer Michael Bibi, and Nicolás Jaar and Dave Harrington’s side project Darkside. Previous III Points headliners have included everyone from Spanish flamenco-pop star Rosalía to French electronic duo Justice to American garage rockers the Strokes.
While prognosticators like to have fun guessing festival line-ups by looking at who is playing festivals at the same time of year. III Point’s October dates make that tougher as it’s a vacant time of year for music festivals. Last year, however, Turnstile did play early October’s Aftershock Festival in Sacramento before making the cross-country trek to III Points. While Aftershock is a rock-centric fest and III Points leans more on the artier sides of pop, electronic, and hip-hop, there are some potential acts I could see fitting in with III Points, with My Chemical Romance, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, and III Points veterans Wu-Tang Clan playing Aftershock. Austin City Limits also takes place in early October and features Sabrina Carpenter, Wet Leg, Doechii, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, all of whom have an III Points vibe.
But these are all wild guesses. For official announcements, we’ll have to be patient.
III Points. Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17, at Mana Wynwood, 2217 NW Fifth Ave., Miami; iiipoints.com. Tickets cost $179 to $375 via iiipoints.frontgatetickets.com.
