Fan voting is officially open for the 2026 Electronic Dance Music Awards after nominees were revealed today. The ceremony returns to Miami Music Week with a new home at The Clevelander South Beach on Friday, March 27th, trading ballrooms for pool parties and bringing the awards back to their Miami roots.
Regarded as the nation's preeminent electronic music award ceremony, the EDMAs take place during the height of Miami Music Week and hand out unique trophies resembling DJ decks with functional jog-wheels. This year's invite-only event embraces a distinctly Miami atmosphere: no ballroom, no seated tables—just Miami, the music, and the people who live it.

- Tiësto feat. Oaks - "I Follow Rivers"
- Chris Lake, Skrillex & ANITA B QUEEN - "LA NOCHE"

- Gryffin & Kaskade feat. Nu-La - "In My Head"
- AFROJACK, Martin Garrix & David Guetta feat. Amél - "Our Time"

The nominations blend nostalgia with innovation, featuring both established icons and the artists carving out EDM's next creative frontiers.
