FIU Homecoming was one for the books. The stage was on fire with performances by Flipp Dinero, Waka Flocka, Sheck Wes and Lil Yatchy. The crowd had high energy as they screamed back every lyric the entire night. Get a glimpse of the madness with photos by Kathy Rosario.
Tyler, the Creator has taken on a new persona along with the release of his fourth studio album, IGOR. His performance gave fans a blast from the past with the silky backdrop, spotlight and iconic blonde wig. The crowd was definitely rowdy, but that’s nothing new as we Tyler fans are known for starting mosh pits. If you missed this performance there’s a few shows left this year as we recommend you attend. Take a look at the Miami stop with photos by Chris Allmeid.
Wale really knows how to put on a great show and attendees at Revolution Live got what they went for at the “Everything is Fine Tour” in Ft. Lauderdale.

The energy came in strong with acts by Above & Beyond, Afrojack, Alison Wonderland, Armin Van Buuren, Diplo, DJ Diesel, Borgore, Dog Blood, Eric Prydz, Kaskade, ZEDD and many more. There may not be any live animals, but this is our kind of zoo! View gallery below.
Canadian hip-hop artist NAV held it down at the Fillmore Miami Beach alongside fellow Ontario rapper, Killy. I loved watching the fans chant along with his every word. We look forward to the next time NAV is in the 3-0-5!
It has been an amazing adventure for us at LIB. We have had the pleasure to participate for the second year in a row and it just gets better and better. It has truly grown not just as a festival but as a community in which we now consider family. It’s a life changing festival for many of the attendees at this wonderland located at Buena Vista Lake, California. We consider this a gathering of multi-dimensional expression from some extraordinary artists. LIB stays true to its essence of being a magical home away from home. As festival goers meandered around this new landscape they encountered music in every junction, art and interactive installations. There were endless opportunities for relaxation, education, exercise and healing if your body was calling for it. We were eager to participate in the conversations and ceremonies going on at the Beacon stage and the surrounding Compass area. Our personal favorite was mycologist, Paul Stamets who we got to experience twice, the second time to a full house at the Beacon stage. Credit to the Do Lab for their ability to balance a star-studded musical lineup, while also spreading the light of scientists, spiritual teachers, indigenous leaders and more. By Sunday night it was hard not to feel like you were in a fairy tale you never wanted to end. As expected, we left Lighting in a Bottle feeling inspired and with a belief that our dreams are within our grasp. What a beautiful reminder that we can be the change we want to see in the world.

Reggae Rise Up had us all escaping to the islands without ever leaving the city. The sound of steel drums, the smell of great food and the infectious energy of the artists had everyone feeling good.

III Points Music & Arts Festival has brought us yet another unforgettable year. The 2019 festival held in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District is all about supporting the South Florida music scene.
