Billboard Latin Music Week Set To Take Over Miami Beach In October

Billboard Latin Music Week is set to roll back into Miami Beach this October, with events scheduled at the Faena Forum from Oct. 19 through Oct. 22. Over four days, the program is expected to bring artists, industry executives and fans together for panels, showcases and networking while running alongside the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Last year’s Miami programming featured conversations and performances from heavyweight names including Daddy Yankee, DJ Khaled and Gloria Estefan.

Billboard's event page currently lists Oct. 19-22 and the Faena Forum as the host venue and notes that tickets, lineup and schedule details are still "to be announced." Billboard announced the dates on Wednesday, May 20, according to Billboard Brasil. As outlined on Billboard Latin Music Week, organizers are encouraging fans and industry insiders to sign up for updates and registration notices.

Local coverage and context

Miami outlets did not take long to jump on the news; WSVN reported that the Faena Forum will host the weeklong events in October and highlighted last year’s star-studded roster. For Miami Beach, the return adds another high-profile fall attraction to a calendar that is already crowded with festivals, conferences and visitor demand.

What to expect

Billboard's archive of last year’s programming shows off the range of panels, intimate "En Vivo" showcases and superstar Q&As the week typically delivers, and the 2025 roster included Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, DJ Khaled and Gloria Estefan among dozens of artists. The format mixes industry sessions for executives with fan-facing concerts and branded activations, a setup that routinely turns Miami Beach into a hub for Latin music in October.

Organizers say the full 2026 lineup and ticketing details will be revealed in the coming weeks, and fans and professionals can sign up for alerts through the official event site. Hoodline will monitor the schedule announcements and local programming to report where and when showcases and public performances will take place.
