TRIBECA FESTIVAL AT ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH UNVEILS MUSIC LOUNGE LINEUP
LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM EARTHEATER, NATASHA DIGGS WITH YUSSEF DAYES, ACTRESS, DANGEROUS ROSE, ARTISTS FEATURED ON MAX’S “RAP SH!T,” AND MORE
New York, NY, and Miami Beach, FL, November 16, 2023 – Tribeca Festival and Art Basel today announced the first round of programming for the Tribeca Festival at Art Basel Miami Beach taking place December 6-9, 2023. The event features four nights of live musical performances and exclusive conversations with iconic artists at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, and runs in conjunction with the 21st edition of the premier international art fair, taking place at the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) from December 8-10, with preview days on December 6 and 7.
Tribeca Festival at Art Basel Miami Beach kicks off with the Music Lounge featuring live performances and DJ sets from rising multi-instrumentalist composer and vocalist Eartheater and DJ Dangerous Rose, who most recently opened for Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour. DJ Natasha Diggs presents “Soul in the Horn” with Yussef Dayes, a dance party featuring horn-infused sounds from around the globe. Artists from the soundtrack of the MAX original series “Rap Sh!t” are set to perform following a panel on the discovery of artists and new music through TV and film. British electronic musician Actress will close the Lounge. The Tribeca Talks lineup, which includes live conversations with iconic artists, will be announced later this month.
“The Music Lounge is an eclectic celebration of different genres of sound. We're excited for attendees to experience performances from artists who have released some of the most celebrated albums of 2023–including Actress at the forefront of the electronic scene, Yussef Dayes's contemporary jazz movement, and EarthEater pushing the boundaries of pop music," said Tribeca Music Programmer Vincent Cassous.
The event series, a first for both partners, builds on Tribeca Festival’s popular Music Lounges at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn and Understory in Miami. Past performances and DJ sets include Flying Lotus, David Duchovny with Ben Stiller, DOMi & JD BECK, Rich Medina, Kamaal Williams, the Onyx Collective, and others.
Vincenzo de Bellis, Director, Fairs and Exhibition Platforms, Art Basel, said: “For over 20 years, Art Basel Miami Beach has been a global convener and launching pad of emerging and established artists across the cultural landscape. We are thrilled to kick off Tribeca Festival at Art Basel Miami Beach with a series of live Music Lounge performances, bringing together trailblazing musical talent during the fair week for what will be an unforgettable experience for our audiences."
Art Basel’s stalwart fair in the Americas returns to Miami Beach this year featuring 277 of the world's leading galleries, showcasing an extraordinary range of art at the highest level. On-site presentations will be complemented by a robust visitor program within and beyond the fair halls, made possible by Art Basel’s premier exhibitors and world-renowned cultural partners and collaborators in Miami Beach and South Florida.
