The Groove Cartel’s guide to Miami Music Week 2019 (lineup and parties)

The Groove Cartel brings you the ultimate Miami Music Week guide for the hottest week of the year. If you’re looking for the updated 2023 Miami Music Week guide, you can find it here.

Every year in March, Florida’s metropolis Miami is literally invaded by electronic music fans from all over the world. The reason behind this mass migration towards the “Vice City” is Miami Music Week.

The highlights of the MMW, as every year, will be the Winter Music Conference from the 25th to the 28th, and Ultra Music Festival from the 29th to 31st. In addition, pool parties organized by the most influential DJs, producers, and labels will take place all over the city. Following, are our recommendations for your MMW experience.

Ultra Music Festival Miami

How not to quote Ultra Miami when talking about Miami Music Week? Running from the 29th to the 31st of March, this year Ultra Miami will take place in the paradisiac frame of Virginia Key. The new venue, which is way bigger than Bayfront park, will let Ultra host 7 stages divided between the Virginia Key Park and the Miami Marine Stadium.

Ultra Miami this year welcomes also the RESISTANCE Island, a complex of three stages entirely dedicated to the underground music world.

With the change of location, Ultra Miami has thought about every single detail, including the festival tickets and a shuttle bus to reach and leave Virginia Key.

With the big lineup ever, Ultra Miami 2019 is set to raise the standards for electronic music festivals worldwide.

Check out our complete guide to the festival here.
