Miami Music Week 2026 in South Beach | Sagamore South Beach
Miami Music Week 2026 Comes to South Beach
Every spring, Miami goes through an amazing transformation. The city's already electric energy surges to new heights as tens of thousands of electronic music fans, DJs, producers, and label insiders converge on South Florida for one of the most celebrated events on the global dance music calendar: Miami Music Week. Running from March 24 to March 29, 2026, this year's edition promises to be the most spectacular yet, and there is no better home base for it than Sagamore South Beach.
Sagamore has long been at the beating heart of South Beach culture. As Miami's original Art Hotel, the property sits at the iconic intersection of Collins Avenue and Lincoln Road, just steps from the ocean and perfectly positioned in the middle of all the action. This year, Sagamore is taking its role in Miami Music Week further than ever before, hosting an action-packed five-day pool party series in partnership with DJ Mag. From March 25 through March 29, the sun-drenched pool deck will transform into one of the most coveted stages in the city, bringing together the most respected names in house and techno for afternoons and evenings you will not soon forget.
The week also aligns with Ultra Music Festival, which takes place in Downtown Miami and draws tens of thousands of attendees. Beyond the festival grounds, hotels, rooftops, beach clubs, and pool decks host curated experiences that spotlight both established artists and emerging talent.
Five Days, Five Unforgettable Lineups
The Sagamore pool party series covers the full sweep of Miami Music Week, beginning mid-week and carrying revelers all the way through the glow of the following Sunday. Each day brings a distinct flavor, curated to keep the energy fresh and the dance floor moving from the first beat to the last.

- Friday, March 27 - Knee Deep in Miami featuring Hot Since 82
- Saturday, March 28 - Danny Tenaglia + Guests: Celebrating 50 Years Behind the Decks

Wednesday kicks things off as DJ Mag takes over the pool with a handpicked lineup that reflects the magazine's unrivaled reach across the global dance music scene. If you’ve been following electronic music for any length of time, you know that a DJ Mag event is a statement of quality. Expect a curated selection of house and techno talent that sets the tone for the days ahead.
Thursday sees one of house music's most beloved institutions, Defected Records, bring its signature sound to the Sagamore pool. For nearly three decades, Defected has defined soulful, uplifting house music, and their Miami appearances are legendary. A longtime devotee or a first-time listener will find something to love here, because this one delivers from start to finish.
Friday turns up the heat with Knee Deep in Miami, featuring the inimitable Hot Since 82. The British producer and DJ has carved out a reputation as one of the most consistently thrilling performers in underground house music, and his deep, groove-driven sets are exactly the kind of experience that makes Miami Music Week so special. This is a poolside afternoon built for dancing.
Saturday brings one of the most meaningful nights of the entire week. Danny Tenaglia, a true titan of dance music and a figure synonymous with the New York and Miami club scenes, celebrates an extraordinary milestone: 50 years behind the decks. This is not simply a pool party. It is a living piece of music history, a chance to be present for a landmark moment in the career of an artist whose influence has shaped the genre for generations. Tenaglia will be joined by special guests, making this an unmissable occasion for anyone who cares deeply about the art of DJing.
Sunday - The series closes with Glitterbox, the disco-influenced house party brand that has become a staple of the global circuit. Glitterbox parties are known for their joyful, inclusive atmosphere, their extraordinary performers, and their commitment to the spirit of the dance floor. It is a perfect way to close out Miami Music Week, riding the high of the previous days into one final, celebratory afternoon.
Why Stay at Sagamore During Miami Music Week?
Attending Miami Music Week from the Sagamore is an entirely different experience from navigating the week from a hotel across town. When the party is at your pool, you are never far from the action. You can step back to your room to recharge, freshen up, and return refreshed, without losing any of the momentum. For a week as intense and immersive as Miami Music Week, proximity matters.
Beyond the pool events, Sagamore's location puts you within easy reach of every other corner of the city's music week programming. The Miami Beach Convention Center, Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive, and the broader South Beach nightlife corridor are all part of your immediate surroundings. You can move fluidly between intimate label showcases, rooftop parties, and club nights, returning each morning to one of the finest boutique hotels in Miami Beach.
The hotel itself is a destination in its own right. 101 spacious rooms and suites draw on the elegance of the Art Deco era while offering every modern comfort. The rotating art collection that fills the corridors and common spaces reflects Sagamore's identity as a cultural anchor in South Beach. Staying here means immersing yourself in art, music, architecture, and oceanfront living all at once.
Plan Ahead: Rooms Fill Fast During MMW
Miami Music Week is one of the most sought-after travel periods of the year in South Florida. Hotels across Miami Beach sell out weeks, and sometimes months, in advance. If you are planning to join us for the pool party series and the broader celebration of dance music culture that surrounds it, booking your room early is essential. Availability during this period is limited, and demand is high.
