GroundUP Music Festival is more than a show—it's a community-driven experience born from the love of collaboration and intimate artist-audience connections. Founded in 2017 by Paul Lehr and Michael League, GroundUP has grown into a defining moment in modern music, recognized by The New York Times as one of the decade's top 10 definitive moments. The festival takes place in vibrant Miami Beach, with performances centered at the iconic Miami Beach Bandshell. GroundUP prioritizes two stages, no traditional green rooms, and direct artist-audience interactions, offering a unique, accessible format for fans and performers alike.
