MIAMI, FL — October 20, 2026
Miami has always been a city where music, celebrity culture and nightlife intersect. But during Billboard Latin Music Week, that energy reaches another level.
From October 19 through October 22, 2026, the city welcomes some of Latin entertainment’s most influential artists, rising stars, producers, executives and cultural tastemakers for four days of music, industry conversations, exclusive performances and late-night celebrations.
With Faena Forum Miami Beach serving as the center of the conference, the action extends across the city, from intimate performances at Faena Theater to rooftop celebrations, Wynwood concerts and the official after-party at LIV Nightclub.
And while the conference brings the music industry together during the day, the nights tell another story.
Fuerza Regida, Jay Wheeler, Zhamira and Anuel AA are among the announced performers bringing Latin Music Week to life after dark.
For fans looking to experience the excitement, the biggest questions are where to go, who’s performing and whether tickets or official credentials are required.
Industry Idols breaks down the events worth knowing about.

Located inside the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, LIV has long been associated with high-profile performances and celebrity-driven nightlife.
The official after-party is positioned as one of the week’s major late-night events.
For fans who aren’t attending the conference, separately ticketed nightclub programming offers another way to experience Latin Music Week.
Tickets should be purchased through authorized event channels, and admission remains subject to venue requirements.
Which Celebrities Are Coming to Miami for Billboard Latin Music Week?
The 2026 programming extends beyond the artists scheduled for nighttime performances.
Among the announced participants throughout the week are Becky G, Pitbull, Maluma, Tokischa, Rawayana, Ryan Castro, Kany García, Greeicy, Grupo Frontera and Trueno.
The lineup reflects the international reach of Latin entertainment and the variety of genres influencing today’s music industry.
From reggaeton and Latin trap to regional Mexican music, Latin pop and alternative sounds, Billboard Latin Music Week brings together artists representing different audiences and generations.
However, there is an important distinction.
An artist appearing on the official Latin Music Week lineup does not necessarily mean that artist is performing at a public concert or attending a nightclub party.
Some appearances are scheduled as interviews, panels, conversations or other industry programming.
Readers should consult the official schedule before making plans around a particular celebrity.
Do You Need Tickets or a Billboard Latin Music Week Badge?
One of the biggest challenges for visitors is understanding which events require conference registration and which can be attended with individual tickets.
Not every event operates under the same admission rules.
Events requiring a Latin Music Week badge
Certain artist showcases, opening-night celebrations and exclusive performances require attendees to hold valid conference credentials.
Some events also require advance RSVP.
Even with a valid badge, entry may be limited by venue capacity.
Events offering separate tickets
Selected Billboard En Vivo performances, the Billboard x Eater El Pre Party, the Billboard Latin Music Awards and the official LIV Nightclub after-party have ticketing options that should be checked individually.
For fans interested primarily in concerts and nightlife, purchasing individual tickets may be more practical than buying a full conference pass.
Age restrictions and capacity
Some events are restricted to guests 21 and older, while others allow guests 18 and older.
Attendees should bring valid government-issued identification and confirm their admission requirements before arriving.

And for the city itself, events like Billboard Latin Music Week reinforce Miami’s position as a cultural destination with international reach.
The conference may bring the industry together, but Miami’s nightlife provides the atmosphere that makes the week distinctive.
