The Jazz in the Gardens 2026 lineup is putting legends front and center, and Miami Gardens is about to feel that grown and soulful energy.
Jazz in the Gardens 2026 lineup celebrates icons who built the soundtrack to real-life moments. The Isley Brothers, Stephanie Mills, and El DeBarge lead this year’s charge with catalogs that shaped generations of R&B and soul. When those opening chords hit, the crowd will not need reminders. They already know every word.
Set for March 7 and 8 at Hard Rock Stadium, the festival returns for its 19th year. The City of Miami Gardens hosts the weekend, while the Black Promoters Collective produces the experience. Together, they continue to deliver one of the most respected music festivals in the country.
The Isley Brothers bring decades of timeless records that still move dance floors. Meanwhile, Stephanie Mills carries a voice that defined an era of powerful ballads. El DeBarge adds that smooth falsetto that helped shape 80s and 90s R&B.
While the legends hold it down, the lineup also bridges generations. Jhené Aiko, Ludacris with his 25th anniversary set, and Nelly alongside Ashanti bring star power that connects past and present. From quiet storm classics to radio anthems, Jazz in the Gardens 2026 lineup honors legacy while keeping the energy current. Miami Gardens will be singing loudly all weekend.
