Strap on your seatbelt and slather on the sunscreen. This week is about to get out of hand.
It's Miami Music Week 2018, and even if you've party-trained for this moment your entire life, you are not prepared. There are way too many functions to attend, way too many sets to listen to, and by the time Sunday evening rolls around, you're going to be a discarded husk of a human. There's really no way around it. Sorry for your inevitable loss.
The silver lining is that this week will also be the best week of your life, and if you want to make sure you catch the primiest of prime moments Miami has to offer, you should check our list of must-attend parties below. You can't even attend all of these, so use a discerning eye and be sure you're catching all the shows that matter most to you. A very special shout-out to those events who have partnered with us on our inaugural list of top talent, the Billboard Dance 100, and winky-face to our editor Matt Medved, who you can catch on the decks of Robin Schulz's Thursday afternoon pool party.
