Art Basel Party Guide 2024

Ah, Art Basel. That time of year when the world’s art aficionados descend on Miami for culture, creativity, and … okay, let’s cut the pretense. Everyone’s here for the parties. And you know it. House music dominates the Basel after-hours, and we’ve got your ultimate guide to the best events happening across Miami.

Put on your chicest outfit, fuel up on cafecito, and prepare to hop between warehouses, rooftops, and stages because this lineup is hotter than Miami in July.

Tuesday: Warm-Up Your Dancing Shoes

• Overtones x Shift Miami Showcase @ Mode Miami (Downtown)
  Mode Miami has been the summer go-to while Club Space was under renovation, and it’s thriving. Overtones and Shift, two stellar record labels, are teaming up for a house-heavy showcase. Expect deep grooves and a crowd that knows its beats.

Wednesday: Hump Day Rave

• John Summit Presents Experts Only @ Toejam Backlot (Wynwood)
  John Summit isn’t officially on the lineup, but rumor has it he might make a mysterious appearance. The Backlot’s intimate vibes set the perfect stage for Damian Lazarus, Max Styler, and Azzecca to keep you moving all night long.

• Black Coffee @ Club Space
  If you’re into Afrohouse, this is the only place to be. Black Coffee is a living legend, and his Space set will undoubtedly be transcendent. Warning: this might turn into an all-nighter.

Thursday: Basel Turns All the Way Up

This is when things get wild, so pace yourself.

• Azure Day Party Pop-Up @ Hyde Beach (South Beach)
  Kick off the day with Themba at Hyde Beach. A poolside vibe with Basel energy—what’s not to love?

Nighttime, though? That’s where the real action is.

• Diplo @ LIV (Miami Beach)
  Inside the iconic Fontainebleau, Diplo will do his thing—expect bangers, bottle service, and Miami’s elite turning up.

• No Art with ANOTR @ Factory Town (Hialeah)
  Factory Town is a massive rave haven, and ANOTR is bringing their globally-renowned “No Art” concept. Bonus: check out the Infinity Room for Dennis Cruz and PAWSA, or hit the Park Stage for the Mayan Warrior Galaxy with Ben Sterling, Carlita, and friends. It’s Burning Man energy meets Miami madness.

• Desert Hearts Showcase @ 1-800-Lucky (Wynwood)
  Burning Man’s Desert Hearts camp is throwing a party with plenty of art to match the beats. Perfect for those who want some culture with their bassline.

• Adam Port @ Lot 11 (Downtown)
  The king of Keinemusik, Adam Port, is taking over a skatepark thanks to III Points. Yes, a skatepark. It’s sold out (of course), but if you can snag tickets, it’ll be worth the effort.

• House Hats @ Negroni (Midtown)
  Looking for something more intimate? This is your vibe: house beats, chill crowd, and a restaurant-turned-rave setting.

Friday: Peak Party Energy

• Keinemusik B2B @ Island Gardens
  This is the one everyone’s buzzing about. Rampa and &ME playing back-to-back against waterfront jungle vibes. It’s Basel’s most hyped night, so don’t sleep on this.

• Marco Carola @ Factory Town
  The “Music On” maestro is taking over with Dennis Cruz. Classic big-room rave vibes for those who want it loud and epic.

• Jamie Jones @ Palm Tree Club
  For something bougie and beachy, Jamie Jones is playing at the newly opened Palm Tree Club. Pro tip: arrive by boat for the full experience.

• Sunset at Tala @ The 1 Hotel
  Darmon, Nic Fanciulli, Sebjak, and more bring laid-back house to this luxe beach club setting. It’s sunset, house music, and ocean views—basically Basel on a postcard.

• Damian Lazarus @ Jolene Sound Room
  Lazarus is a Basel staple and the genius behind Day Zero Festival. If you missed him Wednesday, here’s your redemption.

Saturday: Save the Best for Last

• Bob Moses @ Soho Beach House
  If you’re a Soho House member, congratulations—you’ve got access to an ultra-intimate Bob Moses set. Everyone else? Sorry, not this time.

• John Summit @ LIV (Miami Beach)
  Summit is back, this time officially, and he’s bringing the chaos to LIV. Expect his signature wild energy, a packed dancefloor, and Instagram-worthy moments.

• Outset Art Weekend @ Arlo Rooftop (Wynwood)
  Sushi, omakase, live art, and music in a stylish rooftop setting. Perfect for Basel-goers who want something more low-key but still trendy.

• Circoloco @ Factory Town
  Circoloco is Basel’s grand finale. The lineup is stacked: Rampa, ANOTR, Seth Troxler, Dixon, Martinez Brothers, Bedouin, Peace Control, and more. Multiple stages, endless energy, and the perfect way to close out the week.

Pro Tip: Basel is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay hydrated, plan your Ubers in advance, and maybe sneak in a nap. The art’s cool, sure, but these parties? That’s where the real magic happens.
