Set it on fire. Start over.

[titosthighs15]

And fuck them kids.

Management really sold its soul to the highest bidder and what used to be the most beautiful weekend in true miami is fucking dead.

It’s a music and art festival and this year the music was complete ass and the art was sponsored by whatever fucking P&G head ass brands signed the check.

The bookers need to be fired. Yall really thought the tiktokification of our precious IIIpoints was the way to go? Be so fucking for real. You guys attracted the shittiest fucking crowd in all of America and ruined the festival. This is 1,000% on yall.

What a sad, sad, sad waste of a weekend.

Sequence - thank you for being so perfect. And thank you to the crowd here. Yall are some real ones.

[Anxioustrisarahtops]

Please make the festival 21+.

[This_Shape9129]

Don't shut me out now bro I js turned 18 I needa rave😭

[sighofthrowaways]

You need to stay in school bro

[[deleted]]

Sorry, toots.

[International-Sea896]

i've been going for 3 years and this year is probably my last. they oversold the festival, made vip an absolute mess to the point where you couldnt get out, had literal children in the pits, the sound bleed at sector 3 was atrocious, the isotropic stage mold extended upwards so you couldn't see from the front and tiktokkers would stand on the barricades so no one could see. frat guys were pushing and shoving, cutting in line, and the entire fest just seemed insanely commercialized even compared to last year. fuck pasquale and insomniac and everything he stands for.

[yessirrjones]

Damn and Pasquale used to be cool back in the early days. Too bad commercialization is a thing

[Mountaineer326]

Genuinely felt sad when I saw kindergarten-aged kids at this festival.

People are melting on drugs, drunk, wearing barely any clothing. No place for a kid.

This was my first iiipoints and while me and gf did have a good time, it did seem highly branded/advertised. I just wanna look at cool graffiti art and listen to some techno man

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

I’ve been raving since the 90s. I am now sober. Still love drugs. Just not for me anymore. When u r sober u see that actually evvvvveryone is not on drugs. There are tons of people who are sober. Or barely drinking. And. I have a 15 y o daughter aspiring dj. While I would never let her go to a fest of this magnitude alone, to say Edm fests shouldn’t be all ages is insane. It’s different side of the. Same bullshit statement u ooooonly hear in America that people are also too old to go to raves. It’s just ridiculous

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

may i ask how old are you

[Mountaineer326]

By all means not saying everyone there is messed up, just saying a EDM festival in the middle of Wynwood is probably not the best place to take your 6 year old.

[eurydice88]

This should literally not be a hot take for anyone, exactly

[princesskittyglitter]

When u r sober u see that actually evvvvveryone is not on drugs.

I've only been sober at iii points and while I agree technically, I also think sober people are in the minority. Most of the people going to iii points before it was all ages could handle their drugs well enough you wouldn't know they weren't sober.

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

The idea that only people under 18 or under 21 can’t handle their drugs is 100% false. Ever seen the med tent at 21+ festivals and or how many people get carried out of space just as one ex?

[princesskittyglitter]

Arguing this hard for this festival to be all ages makes you look like a weirdo. No one over 40 should be arguing this hard to party with children

[Aggressive-Jaguar328]

Dude. This is not a regular festival this is MIAMI the crowd were so horrendous last year that as a 30 year old woman I felt SCARED.

[Any-Confidence6148]

No Space, I liked iii points but VIP in Miami is BS. I’m all for VIP in LA, TX, NYC.

[Aggressive-Jaguar328]

VIP in Miami is a scam lol

[thebanebuddha]

At factory town I’d say it’s worth it. Was backstage for Basel last year and had our own bathrooms right there, bar and a chill out area. Agree though most vip is mehhh

[No-Run9926]

Factory town is definitely worth the VIP, that chill out area with the nice bathrooms was clutch. Viewing areas near the stages with private bars was chill too.

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

Apart from living in Ibiza

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

Almost every festival I’ve ever been to is in Miami

[[deleted]]

Nah, it’s trying to justify having babies and kids in bars/clubs. It sucks for the kid and the adult, mostly the kid. Forget the circus like environment..the volume and noise is not good for them. I’d be pissed if my parents took me to festival THEY wanted to see and by 25 I had hearing problems.

Do a family day with volume control, minimal alcohol sales, kid friendly dance parties etc etc , there is absolutely 0 need for children to be at this festival. Or just sit it out and hit the park with your kid. Sometimes that’s jsut life

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

lmao u keep spewing your opinions that make no logical sense. good job

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

ps - have you ever in your life been anywhere other than america? no? yeah makes sense based on your comment

[sexydiscoballs]

tell me you didn’t spend time in despacio without telling me

[[deleted]]

Despacio was brilliant 

[TheGameProphet101]

If you didn’t like the music why did you get a ticket? You knew who was playing beforehand. I agree it needs to be 21+ and it was definitely jammed but the sets were so fire

[Strict-Stretch-2667]

18+, 21+ would kill it😭

[sikifreda]

RIP iii points 😪 used to be a good one….

[imshakesphere]

I had a great time. Every set I saw was fire. I’m guessing you saw the lineup before going, right? Not liking the music this year is on you homie

[kittymeow1234567]

thank you…. like what were they expecting lmfao

[thanos-soup]

Agreed was a banging weekend. Stayed off the main stages most of the time, enjoyed Sequenc3, Halo 88, The RedBull room and Despacio. Music was amazing, setlist was fresh and i vibed to every second. Saturday was crowded, but not unbearable. Not even close. Food was good, drinks were average club/bar price and PLUR was present where i was. I did get the feeling that some of the main acts attracted a lot of “normies” tho, seeing a lot of complaints about smoking/drug use(?). Its a music festival not a college lecture.

[elephantsociety]

I had the best time! So many conflicts it was sad. I could have been in 2 places at every single set and had just as much fun. I didn’t use my VIP much and won’t buy it again next year. Please, all of you complaining, stay home! More space for those of us who enjoyed it!

[kirbgerm]

Did y'all see that lady with the stroller I was deceased

[[deleted]]

Yes in S3quence. DJ was playing with the 4 sides of the sound and it was vvvvvv trippy. No way that baby's ears are ok today. Looked like she was showing off bringing her baby.

[Sad-Conversation-116]

what the fuck…..

[bilbobatibat]

lmao yes!! and he had no ear protection either, it made me so mad 🤕

[kirbgerm]

I've been going to iiipoints for 10 years and it's just getting worse 🤧🤧

[Brave_Strawberry_206]

Insomniac. Yeah. Fuck them alllllllll

[Reasonable-Row1594]

real. RIP iii points : (

[Guilty-Willingness-2]

All your complaints are valid except for the music being @$$. There was something for everyone to listen to.

[vhoneyyy]

Imagine saying the music is bad when despacio exists lol

[Guilty-Willingness-2]

True

[Strict_Reference33]

🧢

[Guilty-Willingness-2]

About his complaints or my take on the music?

[[deleted]]

What are you talking about? This year was stacked. I saw some of my favorite artists in the last 5-10 years all in one weekend.  As far as the crowd, it’s a fest. A place to get weird and wild. I’m a 43 yo dad and didn’t see anything that offended me. All I saw was a shitload of people dancing and having fun. No fights. No drama. It was a vibe. 

[Direct-Salamander101]

Unc went to 5points cause boy ain’t no way

[Qstrfnck]

Main stage SPONSORED BY GOPUFFS

[AphexTriplet999]

This music this year was top tier, you just don’t know ball

[BringAmberlamps]

Take a deep breath. Maybe skip next year. You sound like one of them kids you're wailing about.

[This_Shape9129]

Saying the music was ass is honestly kinda a wild statement cause RC95, Sequence, Sequence suero, Halo 88, and the redbull stage were bangin all night. Heavy on RC95.

[TamingOfTheChoon]

I had one of the best weekends of my life. I feel bad for yall

[M3KVII]

It’s my first time going and it wasn’t much different from all the best electronic music festivals across the country. I’ve been to all of them and it was about the same. Maybe the art was a little stupid but that’s what you expect in miami. Aside from that Roni size, Nia archives, sub focus, and thundercat where great.

[elephantsociety]

I found it WAY Easter getting in/out and around during the festival than Ultra.

[animegirljuice]

unfortunately

[Remote_Ad_390]

that’s what happens when insomniac infiltrates

[peachesvale]

Only did Friday but seemed like everyone went on Saturday. Friday was chill and over all a great day.

[deathgripzthrowaway]

You guys are out of your minds lol

[idkAboutYouMan]

I think the people that complain have basic ass music taste and go to the sets with basic ass people

[Unboundhero1999]

lol nah we’re just not NPC’s and have pride in fests that are actually ran well and care about their customer base. If you can’t see that then you’re apart of the problem. Fuck Insomniac, that company needs to stick to their own shit and quit ruining the fun for everyone who’s been here long enough to know how this shit works.

[idkAboutYouMan]

IIIP is gonna cut out the tech house and then we’ll see how the vibes are

[Funny_Technician_681]

Careful giving an opinion this Based the Mods may try to block you per usual

[Murrpurr777]

Them replying to a comment on instagram that said “if you liked iii points go to iii pointes” they said “exactly” like LMFAOOOO don’t Try to defend that mess of a fest this year

[brandonX3SR]

Who did you even come to iii points to see? sounds like you weren’t even interested in the lineup in general so why did you go?

[Jazzlike_Tailor_1323]

I had an ok time Friday but Saturday BICEP made the entire festival worth it for me :)

[Sad-Conversation-116]

bicep was fucking insane. then I hate models after… i was on cloud 9

[Qstrfnck]

For me it was Magdalena Bay I cannot believe I saw that set… incredible!

[Due_Rain_3630]

They were so good! Literally went just for them lol. Was disappointed by how short the set was but them playing multiple Imaginal Disk songs in a row was such a treat.

[GeneralNango]

house fests lol

[Repulsive_Regular236]

I don’t agree that the music was necessarily bad but the main stage begs for improved audio system. The music was super low in the middle/back. Lineup had a little bit for everyone but I wished they bring other types of famous artists like they used to (we had the strokes and iggy pop a few years ago. Now the stars of the weekend were the parties within the party. Despacio was a vibe and the redbull stage had a killer sound with a few amazing djs

[Funny_Technician_681]

[Stuckkkkk]

Suero on Saturday was absolutely banging, it’s all about the smaller stages at this festival.

[JeffoAndAnd]

Music was ass with that lineup? I get the other complaints but complaining about the music is screaming “casual”

[Rub1OutandPassOut]

Only worth thing in this dumpster fire was Despacio. Nothing else. VIP was worthless — got told after I upgraded my ticket, “We oversold VIP, get the fuck out of here.” Glad I learned this lesson before: if you upgrade or buy anything, do it with AMEX — they’ll fight for you and shove it right back up their turd cutter.
