The DJ Awards · Miami 2027

Faena Hotel & Casa Faena 2–6 December · DJ Awards Friday 3rd From $20,000 per person

In 2027 the DJ Awards cross the Atlantic for the first time — staged inside the Faena District during Miami Art Week, with the ceremony itself at the legendary Faena Theatre and the after-party taking over the Faena Forum.

This is the actual DJ Awards, reimagined for Miami: a sit-down, cabaret-style dinner as the awards unfold on the Faena Theatre stage, a private garden cocktail reception beforehand, and a 2,000-strong after-party at the Faena Forum. Casa Faena guests take in the ceremony from the balcony with free-flowing champagne and canapés; the Chairman’s Choice couples sit at the table with the DJs themselves.

Around the ceremony, the city opens up — a private Art Basel gallery tour, the Bloc Party Courthouse open-air on Sunday, reserved waterfront dining at Zuma, and a hosted table on the Club Space Terrace. Five nights at the Faena, entirely hosted, with the DJ Awards at its centre.

Every Backstage Experience is hosted end-to-end. The residency, the ceremony, the gallery tours, the after-hours — all of it runs on the same simple promise: you never wait in a line, reach for a wallet, or sweat a detail. From the moment you land to the final downtown sunrise, we have already handled it. This is our standard, not an upgrade.

Every official event is fully hosted — the open-air fundraiser, late-night bottle service, beachside cocktail hours, and fine-dining menus. A dedicated luxury chauffeur for every movement. The Backstage Credit Card lives on your wrist — pre-loaded wearable tech, so you never carry a phone or wallet all week. One WhatsApp concierge line, any request, day or night. And custom experiences on demand: artist meet-and-greets, backstage DJ-booth positioning, private gallery views.
