III Points at Mana Wynwood Convention Center

III Points 2026 is shaping up as a larger-than-usual festival weekend in Miami, with 12 stages across five city blocks and a Friday start at Mana Wynwood Convention Center. Here is how to think about the night around the event, including food, arrival, grooming, nightlife, and places to stay.

III Points 2026 matters now because it is returning to Mana Wynwood as a two-day festival on October 16 and 17 with an expanded multi-stage footprint across Wynwood. The Friday listing begins at 4 p.m., and the scale of this year’s edition is part of the story: 12 stages across five city blocks, a large Miami lineup, and a festival layout that asks attendees to think beyond a single show time.

Why this show stands out

III Points is a Miami-based festival, and the 2026 edition is being described as its 13th. It is scheduled for October 16 and 17 at Mana Wynwood Convention Center, with an expanded layout and upgraded infrastructure across Wynwood. That scale is a major part of why this date stands out, along with a lineup that spans Charlotte de Witte, Four Tet, Underworld, Blood Orange, Kelela, Flying Lotus, Honey Dijon, Parcels, Lil’ Kim, GZA performing Liquid Swords, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Danny Brown, Tricky, Purity Ring, PAWSA, DJ Harvey, Marco Carola, Floating Points, Men I Trust, Tokischa, Seth Troxler, Daphni, Tiga, KETTAMA, KI/KI, VTSS, and Red Axes.

The tour story right now

III Points 2026 is set up as a two-day festival weekend with phased lineup announcements and a notable local component in the bill. The festival’s Phase Three announcement included Miami-area artists such as Lauren Palma, Elías Garcia, Liquid Dinosaurs, Alexx in Chainss, Ashley Venom, DJ Ray, DJ Sabi, Mango, Lucaz, Maccabiii, Robyn Sin Love, RARA, Violeta, Zamurai, and Viva Vidal.

What to expect in Miami, FL

At Mana Wynwood Convention Center, the practical expectation is a full-scale festival environment rather than a single-room concert. The Friday listing begins at 4 p.m., and the 2026 edition is described as spanning 12 stages across five city blocks, so the event is organized as a large weekend in Wynwood with a broad mix of artists and a return to an expanded footprint.

With a festival this large, the rest of the night comes down to the right food, arrival, grooming, and late-night plans around Wynwood.
