The GroundUp Music Festival is set to return to the Miami Beach Bandshell from Friday, March 12, through Sunday, March 14, 2027. Each night ends with a headlining set by the jazz fusion collective Snarky Puppy.
The lineup includes guitarists Lionel Loueke and Charlie Hunter, vocalist Gretchen Parlato, and Ella Feingold. Also booked are indie-pop singer-songwriter Victoria Canal, the New Orleans funk group The Rumble, Lau Noah and the keyboard and drum duo Domi & JD Beck. Organizers describe the mix as jazz, blues, rock, funk, hip-hop and electronic music.
Friday’s program is an all-day fundraiser for the GroundUP Foundation, limited to 150 guests. It includes closed rehearsals, a dinner with the artists and a private show. Saturday and Sunday nights close with Family Dinner shows, where Snarky Puppy backs other musicians on stage.
Daily workshops, masterclasses and panels run through the weekend. Late-night jams continue after the 11 p.m. North Beach curfew at a venue that has not yet been announced.
Single-day general admission starts at $118, and weekend passes cost $211 plus fees. The Friday foundation benefit tickets are $494 plus fees. Premium passes, cabanas and late-night passes are also available through the festival’s ticketing site.
