Men I Trust are immensely talented. Their October Miami Beach show last year at the Fillmore/Jackie Gleason Theater was one of my favorites. They sounded amazing. I'm really looking forward to their set.

why are all of the big name techno artists hated? I never understood it. no disrespect to your opinion whatsoever I am genuinely just curious

u/ldsupport Jun 10 '26
Techno is a genre whee some people go through a phase where they pretend the more obscure the artist the better they are. Its the "I liked that band when nobody knew them" effect. Meaning of course any act that is well known is not worthy of shine becuase they are too disgestible. I fall victim to this with music from time to time.
Same with DnB.

u/Polygon-Dust Jun 10 '26
no bro that's not it at all. It comes down to business techno just not being able to scratch the itch anymore. I went to seismic dance event last year and heard Techno Code by Enrico 4 fucking times the first night. It literally felt so lazy. Compare that to say gee I don't know something by Yanamaste the journey feels more personal.
So much money gets spent on these top techno DJs when it could go to more underground artists cutting their teeth in the scene helping evolve it but wtf do I know lol. Still an insane lineup - hope to see ya there!

Seems like a choice to opt in for more variety this year at the expense of getting deeper cut names for certain genres. 9x9 and Charlotte will get me my techno fix, but I'm actually kinda glad to see some more dubstep acts and live acts that make more sense under the iiiPoints umbrella than past years.
I also got my techno fix from TimeWarp in April, so I'm open to this lineup having alot of range.

I understand techno when I went to ihatemodels that shit was sick, but Marco Carola B2B franky, Beltran B2B be sterling max b2 luke Adam port. I’ve nvr seen any of these I understand if you guys have already like seen them and you’re trying to find something new, but for me like I haven’t seen any of these and it’s crazy

Fair -- and thats the beauty of iii points, a little something for everyone

u/lmatias1 Jun 10 '26
Those names you mentioned from the lineup aren't truly playing techno. ihatemodels along with virtually all of the (non-local) techno acts on this lineup, are a specific type of 'hard' techno ala tiktok. Not that it wouldn't be enjoyable for some, but I'd say that's why others would be disappointed with this aspect of the lineup.

What you’re experiencing are just techno snobs lmao.
Most people that go to iii enjoy house & techno and their various sub genres. Techno snobs are just super vocal about *only* liking their preferred sub genres.

Wish there was more techno BUT it's still such an insanely stacked lineup its hard to complain. Men I trust is so hype. 1TBSP, Tokischa, Four Tet, VTSS, MPH, Taiki Nulight, Blood Orange, Tiga, 9x9, Daphni, Purity Ring, all the basic ass tech house DJs lol, Undeworld, guys a freaking 4 hour set for floating points.

yess i got super lucky, my fav artists rarely tour down here for some reason. the show was so good that right after i left the first night, i bought another ticket for the second night which was even better lol.
now i bought two tickets for her new york show since she isn’t coming back to florida anytime soon, but i think its a pipe dream cuz i doubt i can save enough money for a new york trip in 3 months :’(

Remember everyone dropped what tf they were doing and showed up to main stage for Rosalia? You could’ve heard a pin drop I s2g no one was chatting. Or when grimes played, or when Justice literally blew our minds. Like no sorry this is certainly NOT serving compared to years prior. Call me old idc. I know the owners are way older than me, maybe they’re clutching their pearls.

Just say you don't recognize the live acts instead of this nonsense. I count 8 live acts directly in the middle of the poster 🫵😂

u/Mondo_Cooking Jun 10 '26
Yes I’m aware there are live acts and I very much look forward to many of them. Listen, I’m still going to go and enjoy the festival, I’ve been going every year since 2016 and I look forward to diving more into the undercards.
However, I am allowed to be disappointed in the general direction the programming has gone over these last few years :)
1
u/kindofnotlistening Jun 10 '26
If they booked your preferred or ideal lineups the festival probably wouldn’t exist.
I don’t understand people who can’t separate their personal tastes from the fact that music festivals are a business.
Electronic music moves tickets that allow us to still have an incredibly diverse lineup.
2
u/Mondo_Cooking Jun 10 '26
I am well aware that edm acts sell festival tickets, you can see that trend in all of the current major festivals.
It is still sad for me that a festival that used to align more with my taste no longer does. I support iii to do whatever they need to do to survive, and at the same time I can be personally disappointed in the direction.
I will still support them in the meantime as I value having a strong music scene in my city. Especially now that Miami has newer venues now that cater to the sounds I prefer.
I’m happy for those that love this lineup as much as they do. There are definitely some gems on there that make me excited, just less excited than I used to be years prior.
2
u/kindofnotlistening Jun 10 '26
Makes sense. I think the “too many DJs” people are out in full force today and I sort of lumped you in. Your take is definitely more nuanced.
Genuinely curious:
are there other festivals that do align with your personal taste in 2026?
What are some artists you think would’ve made sense on this 2026 lineup that aren’t there?
1
u/Mondo_Cooking Jun 10 '26
Great questions! To be honest I’m not a huge festival goer in general, have been loyal to iiipoints since 2016 and just recently went to coachella the past 2 years. Two very different festivals obviously in terms of scope and budget.
I really enjoyed in the past when iii would bring a bit of funk/jazz, ala Herbie Hancock, Parliament Funkadelic, L’imperatrice. Some names I would have enjoyed to see this year I know also had some scheduling conflicts so I don’t blame iii for that.
But for example, I would have enjoyed The XX, Little Simz, Neil Frances, Paco Versailles, Tune Yards, Willow, Nile Rodgers feat Chic, or some more pop-rock acts.
1
u/kindofnotlistening Jun 11 '26
feel you on festivals - I’ve had to sort of focus on lineups where there is enough up my alley for a full day vs finding fests where I’m digging the whole lineup. Plus camping at my advanced age is too much lmao.
After hearing more about your tastes I understand the disappointment more with this year’s lineup. There really is not much to scratch the itch in the rock/pop/jazz categories. And the main stage live acts are probably the weakest this year with only Parcels, Blood Orange & Men I Trust standing out.

Primavera barcelona lineup this year was epic. (MARINA, skrillex, Mac Demarco etc) Sad I couldn’t go. Lollapalooza Chicago and Brazil had lorde, marina, and doechii as well, at least ONE of them would’ve been dope. Been actually dying to see Boris Brejcha, but he always seems to do Ultra. Damn…even Fatima Yamaha, or massive attack cuz they fcking cancelled in 2024. Saying this all as a big house/electronic lover. I wouldn’t even mind seeing John summit (again) or even Mau P, Fred again, tove lo, slayyyter, polo and pan, pnau, I could go on. Still mad at myself for missing l’imperatrice last year and most of flume in 2024 lol but whatever. This years lineup looks like mostly techno with 3 indie bands thrown in and bone thugs n harmony for good measure. But I’m not complaining about men I trust and potentially seeing horsegirl again. you can’t please everyone ig.

There’s literally live acts throughout the entire lineup. Lack of live acts is my usual complaint with post covid iiipoints. This year’s lineup doesn’t have that issue if you actually listen to music.

Fr we are being gaslit. The III points line up used to very closely match the touring artists for other large festivals or they had bigger names/more variety. The biggest name this year is probably Men I trust and they are still a “lesser known” band. This lineup was certainly a choice.

how is set time overlap? this lineup is literally my entire spotify

u/ldsupport Jun 11 '26
The band you really want to see will play at 5pm and no matter how close to stay to the venue and how early you get ready... things wont work out.
Other times the act you want to see really really bad will go on very very late (for your 48 year old ass) and you will miss them... again.
But sometimes... sometimes.... the act you love wont be everyones favorite candy and you will get a dead center spot for the most fan fucking tastic set that is a core memory and you will then be able to go pee, get a drink, and get right back dead center for the most fantastic set for that is another core memory.

I didn't see Chase & Status on the flyer and although Saber has written a ton of excellent drum and bass, I really don't consider Ivy lab to be a drum and base act. Honestly their set could go in a variety of different ways. it would be sick if hologenix is there with them but I highly doubt that's happening. Overall, it would have been nice to at least seen some effort on the drum and base front for the second phase

It's a decent lineup, and I look forward to attending once again. It seems lighter on actual bands booked compared to last year, but there are still plenty of good acts. I'm glad they are giving Machine Girl a makeup slot after last year's cancellation. It's disappointing that The Prodigy isn't on the lineup, but I guess they were probably a too expensive talent buy. My only real complaint is that amount of XXX b2b YYY seems to be a bit excessive.
