Billboard Latin Music Week 2026 lands in Miami with a family affair on the program
The Faena Forum hosts Latin Music Week Oct 18-22, leaning into the new generation of Mexican music and a program built for independent artists.
Billboard Latin Music Week returns to the Faena Forum in Miami Beach Oct 18-22, ahead of the Billboard Latin Music Awards on Oct 22, where Peso Pluma leads the field as a 17-time finalist. This year's program leans into the new generation of Mexican music: many finalists are literally related, with brothers Hermanos Espinoza and cousins Clave Especial set for a conversation on their family-driven brand of Musica Mexicana.
For independent artists, the program includes a Grupo Frontera case study presented by The Orchard with their indie label BorderTown Records, and a Live Nation panel with Venezuelan band Rawayana on building an international tour as an independent act. Registration and the full schedule are on Billboard's site.
