With III Points set to return on October 17 and 18 at Mana Wynwood, the festival has announced the first phase of acts. They include South Korean DJ producer Peggy Gou, hardcore punk act Turnstile, singer-songwriter Mk.gee, British tech-house producer Michael Bibi, and Nicolás Jaar and Dave Harrington's side project Darkside.

And — checks notes — dancehall act Sean Paul. III Points has never been shy about booking acts that may not make sense in the grand scheme of the festival, and Paul certainly taps into a Y2K nostalgia that Gen Z seems to enjoy. With hits "Gimme the Light," "Get Busy," and "Temperature," expect whatever stage Paul performs at to turn into one big party.

Rounding out the lineup is emerging act 2hollis, often referred to as the male Charli XCX; house duo ANOTR; Argentine experimental pop duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso; homegrown rapper Denzel Curry; Spanish producer Indira Paganotto; French pop band L'Impératrice; Ninja Tune signee Barry Can't Swim; and Russian dance queen Nina Kraviz.

Tickets for the 2025 festival go on sale Thursday, April 24, at 1:11 p.m., with the presale starting at 11:11 a.m. New this year will be an "After Midnight" ticketing option, which allows you to enter the festival after midnight (duh!) and enjoy the late-night performances and sets. The two-day pass will sell for $139. Meanwhile, general admission passes will cost $199, GA+ for $239, and VIP passes for $309, with ticket prices being lower this year across the board.

Expect more acts to be announced as the festival date nears.
