24th September 2026 BWM Staff

Between the unforgettable parties, world-class DJs, and the legendary Beach Party, URGE Miami Festival is back and better than ever! Get the details below.

URGE Miami Festival returns November 27th through the 30th with three daytime events and four nighttime experiences.

This includes a pool party and the iconic Beach Party on the sands of South Beach, making URGE Miami Festival a weekend built on music, freedom, and connection.

The 2026 lineup features DJs Deanne, Eliad Cohen, GSP, Cesar Hernandz, Isis Muretech, Jace M, Jerac, Joey with the Mustache, Junyo, Raul Mata, Robincal and Sharon O’Love, with two internationally renowned surprise DJs still to be announced.

DJ GSP and Jace M are sexy bearish guys, let’s talk about them for a minute.

GSP (George Spiliopoulos) is a USA-based international DJ/Producer known for his mission to make people happy through music.

Turning passion into a global career, he left behind studies in Applied Mathematics, Physics, and Theatre Lighting Design to fully pursue his sound.

Blending Tech and Progressive House with tribal percussion and powerful vocals, GSP has become one of the leading names in the worldwide circuit scene. He has performed across clubs, festivals, and Pride events in over 35 countries on 6 continents.

His signature sound is recognized globally through his live sets and top-ranked podcasts, consistently charting in the top 10 worldwide for over a decade. GSP’s versatility allows him to move seamlessly from deep to progressive house, transforming familiar tracks into high-energy dancefloor anthems.

With hundreds of original productions and official remixes, he continues to shape the global dance scene. He is also the founder of Queen House Music and QSQUARED.

Jace M is a Miami-based DJ and producer known for high-energy sets, uplifting vocals, and emotional moments built for clubs, festivals, and nightlife events around the world. Blending progressive house, circuit energy, tribal rhythms, and vocal-driven sounds, his sets are designed to move between daytime euphoria, peak-hour intensity, and deeper late-night atmospheres while keeping the crowd connected from start to finish.

Originally from Washington, D.C., Jace began DJing in the early 2000s while attending university in Michigan. He built his foundation through a long-running residency at Detroit’s iconic Necto Nightclub.

Since then, he has performed at major LGBTQ+ festivals, nightlife events, and clubs across the world, including Urge Miami Festival, Winter Party Festival, Market Days, and more.

Outside of the booth, Jace is also an established producer and remixer with releases and collaborations alongside Toy Armada, Joe Gauthreaux, Mauro Mozart, and others. His productions combine uplifting melodies, emotional vocals, and festival-ready energy inspired by the same dance floor moments that shaped his career behind the decks.

“Our DJs are world-class, and they’ll give you plenty of reasons to stay on the dance floor,” says producer Luis Morera. “But ask anyone who’s been to URGE, and they’ll tell you the weekend is about so much more than the music. It’s the people, the energy, the laughs, the reunions, and the moments you never planned for that make everyone count down the days until they’re back again.”

URGE Miami Festival kicks off Friday, November 27th at 2PM with the opening party at a five-star Miami Beach hotel, welcoming festivalgoers to a weekend that’s just getting started.

From there, the celebration moves to GUAPO at M2 Miami, with music by Cesar Hernandz and GUAPO’s resident DJ. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, GUAPO has earned international acclaim for its joyful, fresh vibe and infectious energy.

Saturday afternoon belongs to SWET at Strawberry Moon, where DJs Jace M and Joey with the Mustache transform one of South Beach’s most striking pool settings into a sun-soaked party.

When night falls, URGE takes over M2 Miami for the weekend’s first main event, headlined by back-to-back sets from Eliad Cohen and Brazil’s Junyo, with the UK’s Sharon O’Love closing out the night.

Sunday brings the crown jewel: the legendary URGE Beach Party, running from 2PM–9PM on the sands between 6th and 7th Streets off Ocean Drive, with music by Deanne and a surprise internationally renowned DJ/producer.

Flip-flops, swim trunks, and nonstop dancing under the Miami sky make it one of the weekend’s biggest highlights. This year’s edition introduces a new layout inspired by major music festivals around the world.

The expanded footprint will feature an all-new production, including a stage rising 25 feet above the sand and an elevated VIP area offering an open bar and sweeping views of the stage and the Atlantic Ocean.

Sunday night continues with WE “Heroes” Party at M2 Miami, running from 10:30PM to 5AM with music by Robincal, Raul Mata, and Jerac.

Based in Madrid, WE Party is one of the world’s best-known gay clubbing and circuit party brands, celebrated for its massive electronic music events, high-energy stage productions, and go-go dancers. The same production values behind its flagship Madrid parties and its WE Pride and New Year’s festivals will be on full display at URGE Miami Festival.

True to form, URGE Miami Festival weekends don’t end early. The festival closes out Monday, November 30th with its legendary after-hours dance marathon, RAW, at Paraiso Estereo, running from 5AM into the early afternoon with music by Isis Muretech and GSP.

This year’s host hotels are The Clevelander and Essex House, both centrally located on Ocean Drive across from the gay beach and within walking distance of most festival parties. The Clevelander is a vibrant, oceanfront property across from Lummus Park and just 0.8 miles from the shops of Lincoln Road.

Essex House is a stylish circa-1938 hotel in the heart of the art deco district, known for its curving facade and neon rooftop sign.

Festival guests receive discounted room rates starting at $169 a night, with reservations including two complimentary beach chairs and towels, free Wi-Fi, and continental breakfast served at the Essex House restaurant from 8AM to 10AM giving you everything needed to wake up in paradise and walk straight onto the sand.

A portion of festival proceeds will benefit Miami Beach Pride, the nonprofit that celebrates and supports the city’s LGBTQ+ spirit and culture.
