Returning to the Mana Wynwood Convention Center on Friday, October 20th and Saturday, October 21st, Miami’s III Points Festival will celebrate its success in putting counterculture music on the South Florida map over the last 10 years. III Points has become a staple in Miami’s cultural landscape, now seen as a landmark event for the region’s music community each year. This year’s festival promises to be a celebration of all that III Points has built over the past decade and a glimpse into what the future holds.
Kicking off its silver-anniversary year, III Points has announced today its phase one lineup of 13 performing acts that embody the festival’s continued commitment to showcasing diverse and groundbreaking musicians. Leading the III Points bill while representing opposite ends of the musical spectrum are FRED AGAIN.. and IGGY POP. Fred Again.. tops the lineup as one of the year’s most in-demand names in electronic music while Iggy Pop has cemented his status as a Miami cultural icon since the late 1970s. While also a pioneer of pop punk sounds and a fixture of the Miami music scene, he and Fred Again.. perfectly represent III Points’ innovative and boundary-pushing vision.
Being ahead of the curve hasn’t been easy and has required taking risks. The festival has always been more on the bleeding edge of music, rather than the cutting edge. We set out on a mission 10 years ago to build something different in Miami that the counterculture here can identify with. This initiative is flourishing because of all the artists and fans that have supported this idea over the past 10 years.
David Sinopoli – III Points Co-Founder
Other acts announced for III Points this year include CAROLINE POLACHEK, former lead vocalist for synthpop band Chairlift who now blends experimental pop, electronic, and classical influences as a soloist, JAMIE JONES, Hot Creations label boss and curator of the Paradise global event series, and Berlin-based music collective KEINEMUSIK.
