As the global influence of Latin music continues to surge, Billboard Latin Music Week 2025 is preparing to transform The Fillmore Miami Beach into the epicenter of Latin music culture from October 20 to October 24. The five-day event, culminating with the Billboard Latin Music Awards on October 23, will showcase the genre’s economic and cultural impact, which recently generated $1.4 billion in U.S. revenue alone.
Over 100 artists and industry executives will converge for a packed schedule featuring 31 panels, workshops, and performances. Heavyweight talent including Carín León, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Kali Uchis, and Ivy Queen will participate alongside business leaders such as Interscope CEO John Janick and Interscope Capitol Miami head Nir Seroussi.
The programming reflects Latin music’s expanding global footprint, with sessions addressing critical industry topics like artist visas, marketing strategies, and hit song creation. Many panels will highlight the importance of social media advertising as a cornerstone of modern music promotion. Kali Uchis will headline a Superstar Q&A session exploring her bilingual music career, while emerging artists will gain exposure through specialized showcases like the Platoon Emerging Artist Showcase at The Stardust Lounge.
“This gathering strengthens Miami Beach’s position as an international music business hub,” noted the Miami Beach Mayor, highlighting the event’s broader economic benefits for the region.
The week’s activities will flow from the Boombastic Opening Night Showcase through daily panels and networking opportunities, concluding with the BRESH MIAMI party on October 24. Artists like Myke Towers and Laura Pausini will deliver electrifying performances throughout the week.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards ceremony on October 23, broadcast live on Telemundo and Peacock, will serve as the week’s centerpiece. This high-profile telecast will celebrate commercial achievements and cultural contributions across Latin music’s diverse landscape.
Industry professionals point to Latin Music Week as increasingly essential for fostering collaborations between established companies and emerging talents. A special panel will explore how artists can establish diverse income streams by leveraging their music across multiple platforms simultaneously.
With brand activations from organizations like BMI underlining the event’s significance, the 2025 edition promises to deliver unprecedented networking opportunities while spotlighting Latin music’s continued global ascendance. Attendees can also experience unique sponsor activations from State Farm®, which will host an interactive screen-printing station for event-goers.
