Billboard Latin Music Week 2026 Returns to Miami
Four days of artist conversations, live performances, and industry insights.
From October 19 to 22, 2026, you’ll hear artist conversations, enjoy live shows, and network with industry professionals. Latin music is central to Miami’s identity. Its songs and rhythms are passed down through generations and fill the city, shaping how artists connect with fans. This October, Billboard Latin Music Week returns to Miami Beach.
Artists, executives, and creators will gather at Faena Forum in Miami Beach for Billboard Latin Music Week. Fans can connect with the music and hear directly from the people shaping its future through talks and live shows.
A Global Sound, With Miami at the Center
This year’s theme is “Global Consolidation,” which highlights how Latin music is reaching more people worldwide. Artists and industry leaders will discuss how careers are built today, from getting discovered online to taking their music on tour.
A favorite song often becomes part of our story, connected to someone, somewhere, or a special memory. Hearing from the artist adds more: what inspired the song, who helped create it, and what it meant for their career. These conversations are part of Latin Music Week, along with talks about the industry’s future.
In Miami, you don’t have to attend a concert to hear Latin music. It’s playing in the car, at a neighborhood restaurant, or at a family gathering where everyone seems to know the words.
Conversations Beyond the Stage
Wednesday’s conversations cover quite a bit of ground, from mental health with Maluma to a Q&A with Becky G and an appearance by Rubén Blades. Pitbull will also look back at his chart successes.
Jay Wheeler and Zhamira will join Jessi Uribe and Paola Jara to talk about love and music. When your relationship and your work are both public, there’s plenty to talk about.
Hearing artists talk about these parts of their lives can be just as interesting as hearing them perform. You also get a sense of their personality—their humor, their outlook, and how they see the world.
A Night Out in Wynwood
After a day of conversations, Wednesday evening leaves room for dinner and some live music. At Wynwood Marketplace, Billboard and Eater’s El Pre Party brings food and entertainment together before Billboard En Vivo takes over with Jay Wheeler, Zhamira, and special guest Conep. The pace shifts from listening to artists talk about their work to hearing them perform.
An Awards-Night Finale
The Billboard Latin Music Awards will be held on Thursday, October 22, at the James L. Knight Center in Miami. You can watch live at 8 p.m. Eastern on Telemundo and Peacock.
You can take part in Latin music in many ways, from private talks to the big stage on awards night. Whether you join a session, go to an evening show, or watch from home, the invitation is the same: discover the stories behind the music.
