Latin Music Week Billboard
The premier gathering in the Latin music industry is officially returning to its longtime home. Billboard has announced that Latin Music Week will celebrate its 37th edition later this year, taking over the iconic Faena Forum in Miami Beach from October 19 to 22. As has become tradition, the four-day event will run alongside the highly anticipated Billboard Latin Music Awards, making October a monumental month for global Latin music.
As the longest-running and most influential event of its kind, Latin Music Week serves as a crucial hub where creativity meets commerce. The 2026 iteration promises to uphold its massive reputation, offering a packed schedule of exclusive artist conversations, business panels featuring major industry executives, and the celebrated Billboard en Vivo showcases, alongside extensive networking opportunities for professionals and creators alike.
Reflecting on the genre’s explosive trajectory, Leila Cobo, Billboard’s co-chief content officer, noted at last year’s event that Latin music is currently bigger and more global than ever, maintaining its position as the fastest-growing genre worldwide. Industry figures have long praised the event for its unique ability to bridge the gap between executives, artists, and fans who want an inside look at the business.
While the exact lineup for 2026 remains under wraps, the event has a storied history of drawing the absolute biggest names in music. Last year’s star-studded roster featured heavyweights like Daddy Yankee, Carín León, Anuel AA, Gloria Estefan, and Ivy Queen, while past editions have hosted global icons including Shakira, Karol G, Peso Pluma, and J Balvin.
Official lineup announcements, ticket tiers, and schedule details are slated to roll out in the coming weeks. In the meantime, industry professionals, artists, and fans can pre-register for updates directly through the official Billboard Latin Music Week website to secure their spot at Miami’s biggest musical summit.
