Framework, the Southern California-based independent dance event producer, is making its highly anticipated debut in Miami during Art Basel in December 2026. This Framework Miami Art Basel expansion marks a significant milestone for the company as it partners with local promoters to bring its signature electronic music experiences to new markets across the United States.
The announcement signals growing opportunities for dance music enthusiasts and the Latin community in South Florida to experience world-class electronic events. Framework has built a reputation for creating distinctive atmospheres that blend music, production, and community in ways that set them apart from traditional promoters.
Framework Miami December Event Details
The December 4, 2026 show will feature the Dutch electronic duo ANOTR as the headline act. This Amsterdam-based pair has been experiencing a remarkable hot streak in the electronic music world. Their recent collaboration “Talk to You” under the Ultra 54 label has dominated charts impressively.
The track spent consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the WARM Global Dance Radio chart, demonstrating their widespread appeal. For fans of electronic dance music, this represents an unmissable opportunity to see one of the genre’s hottest acts perform live in Miami.
Tickets for the event are currently available through Dice, the popular ticketing platform. Given the timing during Art Basel week, attendees should expect significant demand for this unique experience.
Watson Island Park: A Never-Before-Used Venue
One of the most exciting aspects of this Framework Miami Art Basel event is the venue selection. The show will take place at a never-before-used venue at Watson Island Park. This location sits on an island in Biscayne Bay, positioned strategically between South Beach and downtown Miami.
The venue choice reflects Framework’s philosophy of transforming unique spaces into immersive music experiences. Founder Kobi Danan emphasized that the company plans to maintain its distinctive approach even in new markets. The Watson Island location offers proximity to the heart of Art Week activities while providing a fresh canvas for their production vision.
“Just like anywhere we go, we’re going to do things our own way. Framework has always been about creating a distinct experience around the music, the production and the people in the room. Miami also gives us the opportunity to introduce that experience in a relatively new venue, while being close to the heart of where so much of Art Week is happening.” — Kobi Danan, Framework founder
Partnership with unKommon Events
Framework is partnering with unKommon events, a Miami-based independent promoter, to bring this show to life. This collaboration model has become central to Framework’s expansion strategy, allowing them to work with established local promoters who understand their respective markets.
The partnership approach ensures that Framework can maintain its production standards while benefiting from local expertise and community connections. unKommon events brings valuable knowledge of the Miami dance music scene and relationships that help create authentic experiences.
Art Basel represents a uniquely busy week for electronic music in Miami, with numerous DJs and party brands descending on the city. The competition for attention is fierce, making strategic partnerships and distinctive offerings essential for success.
Framework’s National Expansion Strategy
The Miami event follows another significant announcement: an upcoming Framework coproduced show near Phoenix on October 30, 2026. That show will be headlined by Chris Stussy and coproduced with Relentless Beats, Arizona’s independent dance event promoter.
These events represent Framework’s continued expansion outside of California, where the company has established itself as a leader in electronic music experiences in Los Angeles and the wider region. The company also maintains an ongoing relationship with The Concourse Project in Austin, Texas, where the team supports booking and programming at the venue.
The Arizona and Miami events represent a more forward-facing collaboration approach compared to their Austin work. Framework is taking a more visible role in these new markets while still working alongside trusted partners.
“As the Framework brand continues to grow, we’ve been receiving more and more requests to bring what we do to different markets. I wouldn’t necessarily define it as a traditional expansion — we’re partnering with dear friends and incredible brands to bring our style of production and sound to different markets around major cultural moments.” — Kobi Danan
Framework’s Southern California Operations
In Southern California, Framework produces shows in transformed spaces that have become iconic within the dance music community. Their venues include the historic Sears Building in Downtown Los Angeles and various Hollywood Boulevard takeovers that bring electronic music to unexpected locations.
The company launched the seasonal club Reframe in late 2025 and continues operating the longstanding nightclub Sound. Additionally, Framework produces the annual Framework In the Desert, a Coachella-adjacent party that has become a staple of festival season.
The upcoming Los Angeles calendar demonstrates the company’s robust activity level. Scheduled shows include performances with Rossi. at Expo Lawn, Planet X at California Plaza, Francis Mercier at Reframe Studios Outdoors, and Jimi Jules at Gin Ling Way.
Shrine Expo Hall will host shows featuring Kettama, Max Styler, and Prospa, copresented by Goldenvoice. This partnership with the legendary concert promoter behind Coachella underscores Framework’s standing in the California electronic music landscape.
A Community-Centered Approach to Growth
Kobi Danan emphasized that Framework’s expansion philosophy prioritizes quality over quantity. The company isn’t pursuing growth simply for market presence but rather waiting for the right opportunities that align with their values and standards.
Additional events outside of California will only happen “when the community welcomes us and the right combination of artist, venue and opportunity comes together,” according to Danan. This thoughtful approach ensures that each new market entry maintains the Framework standard that existing fans have come to expect.
“We’re fortunate to partner with people who have been doing incredible work in their markets for years, and it’s an honor to be invited to grow alongside them,” Danan stated. This sentiment reflects a collaborative rather than competitive approach to entering new territories.
For the Latin community in South Florida and across the United States, Framework’s expansion represents increased access to high-quality electronic dance music experiences. The company’s reputation for creating inclusive, production-forward events aligns well with communities that appreciate both musical excellence and vibrant atmospheres.
The December 2026 debut at Art Basel Miami positions Framework to become a recurring presence in one of America’s most important cultural weeks. With ANOTR headlining at the unique Watson Island Park venue, attendees can expect an unforgettable introduction to what Framework brings to the dance music world.
