Dreamland takes over Miami for three days of New Year parties, moving between huge indoor circuit events and open-air venues in Wynwood and Miami Beach.

Dreamland New Year’s Festival

  • Next Edition: Thursday, December 31, 2026 To Sunday, January 3, 2027.
  • The festival opens with Dreamland NYE at Midline Miami, 2221 NW Miami Court, Wynwood.
  • New Year’s Day brings M.E.A.T. + PLAYLIST to M2 Miami, 1235 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach.
  • Saturday features The Oasis followed by Loud Luxury, with the weekend moving back into Wynwood.
  • Expect international circuit DJs, headline electronic artists, dancers and large-scale production across several venues.
  • Admission is 21+.
  • Individual tickets and festival passes are already on sale.
  • Check out the 10 best hotels in Miami Beach.

Dreamland Miami

  • Dreamland works as a moving festival rather than a single club weekend.
  • The opening night puts the circuit crowd inside Midline for the midnight countdown. On New Year’s Day the focus switches to South Beach for M.E.A.T. + PLAYLIST at M2, before Saturday returns to a more open-air Miami format.
  • That mix is what gives the weekend its appeal: big-room circuit production one night, a South Beach superclub the next and outdoor partying under the Miami sky to finish.
  • Dreamland is produced by the team behind Planet Pride and attracts a heavily gay male crowd mixed with a broader LGBTQ+ audience and electronic-music fans.

M.E.A.T. + PLAYLIST

Friday 1st January moves to M2 Miami – 1235 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach.

  • M.E.A.T. brings its harder circuit identity together with PLAYLIST for a New Year’s Day takeover of one of South Beach’s largest clubs.

The Oasis

Saturday begins outdoors at Throw Social Miami – 1401 N Miami Avenue.

Saturday night adds a second major event at Bronco in Wynwood. Loud Luxury takes over the open-air venue from 8pm-3am, joined by Anne Louise and Ty Sunderland.
