Overview We Belong Here Tampa Bay is a three-day dance music festival on the Armature Works riverfront in Tampa Heights, and its first year, a two-day weekend at St. Pete Pier in December 2025, sold out four days after general sale opened. For 2026 it crossed the bay. The grounds are open air on the Hillsborough River, with a restored 1910 streetcar barn at their back and downtown Tampa lit up across the water, and the production is built to suit that view rather than to cover it with LED walls. On site More than 40 artists play across three stages. The 360 Stage puts the DJ in the middle of the dance floor with the crowd all the way around; the Pier Stage and Lost Village run beside it. Free water stations, lounges and air-conditioned restroom trailers are open to everyone, lockers come through an official partner, and the floor is oversized so nobody has to fight for room. Visual artists, restaurant concepts and vendors set up across the grounds. Shuttles run to the gate. At the pier in 2025 the stages were the 360, the Bay Stage and Lost Village, and Smorgasburg curated the food. Audience Central Florida asked for it. Co-founder Justin Dauman said the Tampa Bay edition brought the festival closer to home for fans there, "who have been so vocal about us doing so", and when the first year sold out the festival opened a waitlist for a weekend still three months off. Talent and Influencers ODESZA, Kaskade, Lane 8 and Elderbrook headlined the first Tampa Bay weekend in 2025, with Joel Corry, Maz, Wassu, Cocodrills, Slugg and Benjamin Lloyd below them. Track record General sale for the 2025 debut opened on September 12. By September 16 it was gone. The edition grew from two days to three in its second year, and We Belong Here itself dates to a Miami beach weekend in February 2022. Attendance funds music education for K-12 students near each event, and the festival pays for full scholarships at Scratch Academy, the DJ school Jam Master Jay founded. Brand presence A partner takes presenting rights to one of the stages and shapes it with the festival's designers, alongside a bar or sampling station on the grounds. The package also gets product to the artists in the green rooms and lounges, and runs an influencer campaign from the weekend.
