What they’re saying

“We Belong Here is a boutique music festival that my partner and I started five years ago in Miami and, essentially, our core brand pillars of the brand is room to dance, unique locations that have historical significance, or that are very naturally beautiful. You can expect, for the most part, just feel good, melodic house music. Nothing too intense.”

— Charles Hochfelder, Co-founder of We Belong Here Miami (wsvn.com)

“I think it's something for everyone, everyone who believed in the vision and saw it early on. Really excited to have Tiësto make his debut on the 360 stage and play in We Belong Here for the first time. Chris Lake is another one, you know, I shout out these two names specifically because we really listen to the fan feedback, and both of these artists are artists that have really been at the very top of the list.”

— Justin Dauman, Co-founder of We Belong Here Miami (wsvn.com)

“We have a lot, probably the most ever amount, of local artists coming in and building interactive art installations and games and different kind of activities.”

— Charles Hochfelder, Co-founder of We Belong Here Miami (wsvn.com)

“We're going to be inviting ticket-holders, attendees from the festival as well as just anyone that wants to come and be involved, and do the post-post clean up, make sure we're really leaving the venue and the beach better than we found it because it's our home.”

— Charles Hochfelder, Co-founder of We Belong Here Miami (wsvn.com)

“It's the type of music that, not only can you dance and have fun to, but that you can also wake up the next morning and feel really good about the time that you spent.”
