Global music authority Billboard announced that Billboard Latin Music Week will return to Miami Beach and take place at a new venue, The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, on October 14-18, 2024. The 35th anniversary event, which celebrates Latin music, culture and entertainment, will feature exclusive panels, conversations and performances by Latin music’s biggest stars. Billboard also revealed the first round of artists participating in this year’s event include Danny Ocean, Fat Joe, Gloria Estefan, Lele Pons, María Becerra, Mau y Ricky, Mon LaFerte, N.O.R.E., and Peso Pluma, with more to be announced in the coming months. Tickets are available at BillboardLatinMusicWeek.com.
“Latin music is living its most successful and globally recognized moment ever this year. But Billboard has been proudly at its side for over 35 years as the main flagbearer, supporter and ultimate opinion maker for Latin music around the world,” said Leila Cobo, Billboard’s Chief Content Officer for Latin/Español. “During a year when Latin music is dominating the charts and the cultural zeitgeist, we are thrilled to return to Miami Beach, the global capital of Latin music, for this exciting week-long event.”
Celebrating its 35th anniversary, Billboard Latin Music Week has been the longest-running and biggest Latin music industry gathering in the world, spotlighting Latin’s top artists, actors, influencers, and industry leaders. The conference has become a must-attend event for artists, executives, and players in the industry, both new and upcoming as well as established.
The 2024 edition of Billboard Latin Music Week will spotlight a 35th anniversary party on Friday, October 18 – plus one-of-a-kind performances, exclusive panel conversations, workshops, showcases, networking opportunities, and more. Last year’s eccentric conference line up featured Billboard En Vivo performances from Peso Pluma, Nathy Peluso with Young Miko and Fonseca, as well as a first-ever conversion with RBD members about their extraordinary comeback story, superstar Q&A with Shakira, and a premiere Party with Thalia!
Additionally, this year, Billboard is excited to introduce new GA day passes. These passes provide attendees with the opportunity to join the event on specific days when their favorite stars and industry experts command the stage with thought-provoking discussions, performances, interactive workshops, and other engaging events.
“We are proud of the decades-long work we have done to celebrate Latin talent and bring the community together. This year’s event will be an unmatched celebration for artists, the industry and fans,” said Mike Van, President of Billboard.
“Miami Beach is ready to once again host Billboard Latin Music Week, an event that truly showcases the vibrant and diverse culture of our community. This week not only celebrates the rich heritage of Latin music, but also highlights Miami Beach as a global destination for arts and entertainment. We look forward to another unforgettable week of music,” said Mayor of Miami Beach, Steven Meiner.
Billboard Latin Music Week will coincide with the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards, which will air again on the Telemundo network. Tune-in information to be announced soon. Please note, Latin Music Week tickets will not include access to the awards show this year. Instead, Billboard will host a special 35th-year anniversary celebration on the evening of October 18 where INSIDER badge holders will receive exclusive invitations to this star-studded event.
Closing out the packed week of events, Billboard will be partnering with Bresh to host the grand finale party of Billboard Latin Music Week. More details to come.
