Three Reasons To Be At III Points This Year

III Points is an interactive Music, Art, and Technology Festival in the heart of Miami, Florida at the beautiful Mana Wynwood. This unique event takes place annually and brings qualities of music, art, and culture to a complete other level. We're here to give three solid reasons you should be at III points this year October 7th - October 9th, 2016.

1. MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC

III Points never disappoints with their skills curating an artist lineup that builds the base of the festival as well as the peak of your experience. Headliners to this year's party include LCD Soundsystem, Thievery Corporation, and M83. These are three astonishing acts that are all hard to come by and more than a reason to attend III Points for the extremely low price of $125.

III Points continues to bring acts from all over the world this year such as Dixon, Danny Daze, Junior Boys, Flight Facilities, and many more. While the event concentrates on an artistic technological vibe they continue to bring out heavy hitters in the hip hop game as well. You can expect to get hyped with peeps like Vince Staples, Denzel Curry, Earl Sweatshirt, along with Method Man & Redman.

Still not sure if this lineup is legit? Here's some of our all time favorite artists performing at this year's III Points. We seriously cannot wait to see Machinedrum, Chrome Sparks, Thee Oh Sees, DIIV, Twelve'len, Flying Lotus, Cam'ron with everything else this event has to offer.

2. LOCATION

III Points is dipping into their fourth annual festival here at Mana Wynwood and we cannot think of a better place this special event should take place. You see III Points is more than just a festival, III Points is involved with Wynwood year round from providing artist performances such as A$AP Rocky to hosting film festivals along with art walks to not only help bring the community together but to teach us that III Points can be a home for you and your friends to completely be yourselves.

There's an overwhelming sense of comfort to where you're not worried about much of anything besides trying to get as much experience in as possible. III Points isn't like ANYTHING you've dove into before. There's a difference between this festival and every other because it MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
