Ultra Music Festival isn't for another four months, and there hasn't been anything close to a music festival in Miami since last March, but why not introduce something new this week to Miami that may take place at a smaller venue, but will still bring in just as many names? This Saturday night Miami welcomes in the first annual Autumn Music Festival taking place at
Mekka nightclub in downtown Miami.
Everyone knows the area pretty well, seeing as 11th Street and nightclub giants like
Nocturnal and Club
Space are just around the corner. However, this Saturday night it seems as though
Mekka will get most of the attention in downtown Miami. Featuring nearly 100 names that span the nation and some of Miami's top talent, this event will definitely offer the best in music since WMC.
George Acosta, Saeed Younan, DJ Icey, Willie Morales, Granite and Phunk and Edgar V. are just a few names that are set to play. There's even a
Vagabond area where you can hear your favorite residents from the club play, including Carmel Ophir and Rodney Mayo. The production level on this colossal event may not match up to what Ultra Music Festival does, but the fact that they're supplying that much talent under one roof for one day is extremely impressive on its own.
