The World of III Points Miami
Unlike other local South Florida festivals, III Points is back and is bigger than ever before, III Points returns to Mana Wynwood for a two day festival, including art, music, technology and food. Robyn, the Strokes, Disclosure, and Wu-Tang Clan will all enjoy headlining at the seventh edition of the Miami music gathering. They'll be joined by the likes of indie-pop eccentric Ariel Pink, DJ/producer Erol Alkan, singer-songwriter Moses Sumney, and many more.
While festival lineups grow more homogenous with each passing year, III Points is helping to produce fresh talent. Unlike any other local South Florida festivals, III Points doesn't cater to a single genre or demographic; but an array of established and local artists for a tasteful and a mix, to reach a blissful experience. III Points has a platform for local Miami musicians, year after year. Jaialai, Palomino Blond, INVT, Richie Hell, Las Nubes, and Haute Tension are just a few of the local artists and DJs on this year's bill, and more additions to be announced.
WU-TANG CLAN
Wu-Tang Clan, a hip-hop collective composed of nine MCs that emerged in the mid-1990s from the Staten Island projects that root from growing up in the streets of New York. The group released their first album “Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” in 1993 and have since then released countless projects along with some of their own solo work. They have always been a gritty and revolutionary group ready to take on the music industry and hip-hop world. III Points has previously brought in solo projects like Ghostface Killah (2015), Method Man (2016) and both Raekwon the Chef & Ghostface Killah (2019). This year they are bringing in the whole Clan and that is nothing short of legendary.
KAYTRANADA
Haitian-Canadian producer, Louis Kevin Celestin, also known as Kaytranada will be performing at III Points. Kaytranada has released numerous mixtapes, EPs and remixes after changing his name (Kaytradamus) in 2012. Since then, he has produced work for artists like Kendrick Lamar, Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg and Anderson.Paak. He released his first full-length album in 2016 titled “99.9%” under XL Recordings and recently released “Bubba” in December of 2019. A perfect mixture of hip-hops beats and lo-fi neo-soul that features artists like Kali Uchis, GoldLink, Masego and more.
OMAR APOLLO
Omar Velasco is from South Haven, Indiana born to Mexican parents from Guadelajara, Mexico. He grew traction after releasing “Ugotme” on Spotify in 2017 which was featured on their “Fresh Finds” playlist and was practically discovered overnight. Since then Omar Apollo made it onto the 2019 Lollapalooza lineup and has toured all over the U.S and Europe in the last three years. Apollo released his debut EP “Stereo” in 2018 and “Friends” in 2019. He has been featured in Rolling Stone and Billboard Magazine as he shakes up the R&B world by incorporating indie-pop, a swanky synthesizer, the occasional funky guitar chords, and a drizzle of Spanish throughout his EPs.
MOSES SUMNEY
Moses Sumney is a Los Angeles raised singer and songwriter. Sumney started doing live shows in 2013 and quickly gained recognition after people realized that his bone chilling falsetto was nothing short of beautiful. Sumney has collaborated with artists like James Blake, Solange and Beck. He signed with Jagjaguwar in 2017 and released his first full-length album titled “Aromanticism” that touches on topics such as love and loneliness. “Grae: Part 1” was released in February of 2020 and combines sweet melodies, lo-fi and experimental sounds with a soft voice that caresses your senses.
HOMESHAKE
Peter Sagar, also known as “Homeshake” is a solo project for Mac Demarco's former guitarist that began in 2012 for the canadian singer and songwriter. Peter released his first full-length album called “In The Shower” back in 2014 and has released multiple singles and albums since then.

Homeshake is set to play III Points.
