History

Miami Music Week began in 2011, taking place from 24–27 March, ending at the same time Ultra Music Festival had concluded its thirteenth edition.[9][10] Since then, Miami Music Week has continued to grow every year, eventually becoming one of the world's greatest migrations for dance music lovers.[11]

On March 21, 2018, Miami Music Week bought out the Winter Music Conference and the International Dance Music Awards.[12]

These include the Gale Hotel, Dream Hotel, Raleigh Hotel, SLS Hotel, Surfcomber Hotel, Nautilus South Beach, Congress Hotel, Albion Hotel, and many others located around Miami Beach.[13][14][15][16][17]

Miami Music Week has also been the week of many reunions, debuts, and traditions.[18][19][20] This includes the return of Deep Dish (Sharam & Dubfire); the debut of ENTER. in Miami; the massive 24-hour marathon party, Get Lost which is hosted by Crosstown Rebels; and of course Ultra Music Festival which consistently proves to be one of the top music festivals in the world.[7][21][22][23]

Miami Music Week Hotel (2015-present)

In 2015, Miami Music Week announced the first-ever Miami Music Week Hotel which was located at the Delano Hotel in South Beach, Florida.[33] In 2016, the Miami Music Week Hotel once again took place at the Delano Hotel. The MMW Hotel has served as the epicenter of parties during Miami Music Week.[34] The hotel has hosted official events at both the Delano Beach Club and the FDR Lounge & Nightclub during the past two years.[35] Artists like The Magician, Robin Schulz, Klingade, Carl Cox, Dirty South, Oliver Heldens, Disclosure, Claude Vonstroke, and Guy Gerber have hosted events at the Miami Music Week Hotel during the past two editions of Miami Music Week.[36][37][38] Miami Music Week has yet to announce the location of the Miami Music Week Hotel for the upcoming edition taking place in 2017.
