We Belong Here has officially announced its return to Miami from February 27 to March 1, 2026, and for the first time in its history, the festival is expanding to a three-day weekend for their milestone 5th anniversary.
It’s no secret We Belong Here Miami is one of my favorite festivals, and if you’ve ever stood under the 360-degree stage at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park as the sun dips below the Miami skyline, you know that it isn’t just a festival—it’s an experience. Since its debut in 2021, this boutique gathering has carved out a soul-stirring niche in South Florida’s crowded dance scene by prioritizing community over clout and vibes over vanity.
We Belong Here 2026 Lineup [tickets]
We Belong Here 2026 Lineup: Legends, Deep Cuts, and Extended Sets
The 2026 lineup is, without question, the festival’s most ambitious to date. We Belong Here is promising that all headliners will perform for at least two hours.
The Sunset Kings: Tiësto & Lane 8 (3-Hour Sets)
We Belong Here is famous for its golden hour magic, and for 2026, they’ve tapped two icons to lead the charge.
- Tiësto: Forget the mainstage madness for a second. Tiësto is taking us on a 3-hour sunset journey. Expect a masterclass that spans his legendary career.
- Lane 8: The This Never Happened founder is the king of emotional, hands-in-the-air moments. A 3-hour sunset set from Daniel is a spiritual experience.
The Deep Dive: Kaskade (Redux)
If you’re looking for “Atmosphere” and big pyro, look elsewhere. Kaskade Redux is all about the groove. This is Kaskade’s love letter to the underground—stripping away the festival theatrics for a meditation on deep house and flowy rhythms. It’s intimate, it’s soulful, and it’s the perfect fit for the 360-degree stage.
The House Heaters: Chris Lake & Gorgon City
- Chris Lake: The Black Book Records boss is guaranteed to bring the high-octane tech-house energy that has made him a global force.
- Gorgon City: Expect vocal-heavy, UK-influenced house that hits just as hard on the beach as it does in a dark club.
The Techno Bridge: Kevin de Vries
For the fans who like it a bit darker and more driving, Kevin de Vries is a massive addition. Known for his cinematic Afterlife anthems, he’s recently been crossing over with high-energy “mainstage weapons” on Tiësto’s Musical Freedom label. Expect a set that bridges the gap between hypnotic melodic techno and peak-time power.
The Vibes Crew: Elderbrook (DJ Set) & Nimino
- Elderbrook: While we love his live setup, an Elderbrook DJ set allows him to dig deeper into house heaters while still weaving in those hauntingly beautiful vocals we know and love.
- Nimino: If you haven’t caught a Nimino set yet, consider this your sign. His melodic, often ethereal sound is exactly what WBH is all about.
More Than Just Music: The Experience Upgrade
The 2026 edition introduces the most significant infrastructure improvements in the festival’s history:
- Smorgasburg Partnership: The legendary food market returns to curate a robust F&B program with more vendors, faster service, and expanded vegan/gluten-free options.
- Stress-Free Travel: New round-trip shuttles will run from Midtown and South Beach, plus a dedicated free Wi-Fi zone at rideshare points.
- The Moxy Connection: For the out-of-towners (or staycationers), a continued partnership with Moxy South Beach offers exclusive rates for the weekend.
- Stage Upgrades: Attendees can wander between the Beach Stage and the Lost Village, both of which will feature enhanced lighting, interactive visual art installations from local creators, and a more cohesive flow across the Historic Virginia Key site. The iconic 360-degree Main Stage returns, offering that up-close-and-personal energy that has become the festival’s signature.
“Historic Virginia Key Beach Park is where it all began for us, and this lineup reflects both our roots and how far we’ve grown,” says Co-Founder Justin Dauman. “It’s a celebration of the artists, the city, and the community that’s been with us since day one.”
