House Music Accounts for 66% of Miami Music Week 2026 Events With 51% of Artists Outside Top Agencies

A new analysis from Booking Agent Info confirms what many in Miami have long felt and will soon feel again from March 24 – 29: house music’s dominance during Miami Music Week. 

According to findings from the study, house music accounts for a whopping 66% of the 889 artists booked to perform across 2026 Miami Music Week events, including Ultra Music Festival, “making it by far the most represented genre across the week,” the company said in a press release.

Bass and techno were the second most prominent genres, at 14% each. Trance (2%), other unspecified genres (2%), hard dance (1%), and breaks (1%) had the smallest shares.

To classify genre and subgenre among the nearly 900 acts performing during Miami Music Week, Booking Agent Info reviewed artist information and recent release activity using BookingAgentInfo.com, Beatport, and SoundCloud. Because many artists span multiple styles, each artist was assigned one primary genre and one primary subgenre based on the style most reflected in their most recent releases.

House’s hold on Miami Music Week’s event circuit was primarily driven by tech house — the “single biggest subgenre,” comprising 33% of all artists analyzed.

Results also showed a clear taste for other strains of house music, with deep house accounting for 13% of artists, followed by minimal/deep tech (5%), electro house (5%), Afro House (3%), progressive house (1%), melodic house (1%), and festival progressive (1%).

The remaining 14% of artists were distributed across a range of smaller subgenres spanning multiple genres. Within bass, dubstep/riddim led at 6%, followed by trap (4%), drum & bass (2%), and melodic bass (1%). On the techno side, hard techno represented 5%, trailed by melodic techno (3%). Other subgenres included progressive trance (2%) and UK garage (1%).

“Overall, the data suggests that while Miami Music Week features a wide range of sounds, the market remains highly concentrated around house music, and especially tech house, with bass and techno serving as strong but clearly secondary forces,” BookingAgentInfo.com wrote.

Beatportal can exclusively reveal new data from a complementary Booking Agent Info analysis demonstrating that Miami Music Week’s artist representation is “highly fragmented,” with more than half of performers operating outside of the industry’s top booking agencies. Specifically, 51% of artists scheduled to perform during the week belonged to an “Others” category comprising smaller agencies (defined as representing less than 0.5% of the performers), as well as artists who handle bookings in-house.

“The findings suggest that Miami Music Week is not just a platform dominated by the largest agency rosters. It also remains a place where smaller agencies, boutique representation, and independently booked artists make up a substantial share of the broader event ecosystem,” Booking Agent Info noted.

The team used the same dataset of 889 artists to determine which agencies represented performers. To identify agency affiliations, they used information from BookingAgentInfo.com and supporting research.

The:Team was the leading named agency (10%), followed closely by United Talent Agency (9%). Liaison Artists, Creative Artists Agency, and William Morris Endeavor each accounted for 4%.

“The broader takeaway is that Miami Music Week remains highly decentralized from a representation standpoint,” Booking Agent Info concluded. “While major agencies clearly maintain a strong presence, more than half of the artists analyzed sat outside the top named agency group, reinforcing the idea that the week is also an important discovery ground for rising talent, smaller rosters, and artists building momentum before reaching the upper tier of representation.”
