David Guetta is back at Fontainebleau for New Year's Eve

A year after he closed out 2025 poolside at the Miami Beach resort, the Grammy-winning DJ returns to ring in 2027 on Thursday, Dec. 31.

Midnight on Collins Avenue, champagne in hand, and David Guetta on the decks: Miami Beach has seen this movie before, and it's getting a sequel. David Guetta plays Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach on Thursday, Dec. 31, with the night starting at 9 p.m. The date was announced Nov. 3, and tickets are on sale through TicketWeb.

It's a return engagement. Last year Fontainebleau tapped Guetta to headline its New Year's Eve celebration, a poolside party that rang in 2026 as part of the resort's BleauLive series, according to the resort's announcement. That night ran with DJs from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. and Guetta taking the stage at 11. Bringing him back for a second straight year says the formula worked; check the resort's New Year's Eve page and the ticket listing for this year's set times and packages, since those details can change from year to year.

Guetta barely needs an introduction. The French DJ and producer is a Grammy winner and one of the defining figures in the crossover between dance music, pop and hip-hop, which is exactly why his name works on New Year's Eve: the crowd at a resort party isn't only club regulars, and Guetta is one of the few DJs whose catalog everybody in the room knows. His sets lean into that, mixing his own hits with big-room energy, and a countdown at midnight is about as natural a stage for him as there is.

Same pool, same headliner, one more year on the countdown clock.

The room is part of the draw. Fontainebleau is one of Miami Beach's landmark resorts, and BleauLive is its live-entertainment banner, used for headline nights like this one. A New Year's Eve party there is less a concert than an event, with dress-up crowds and a big production around the music. Last year's edition was promoted as 21-and-over, with separate family tickets offered, per Luxury Travel Advisor; look at this year's listing before you plan around either.

A few practical things. New Year's Eve in Miami Beach means heavy traffic and surge pricing on rides, so leave early or plan to stay nearby. Prices for big NYE parties tend to climb as the date approaches, so if you know you want in, it pays to buy sooner rather than later. And remember that Dec. 31 falls on a Thursday this year, which means a long holiday weekend for a lot of people and a crowded beach town.

If you want to spend the last hours of 2026 dancing to one of the biggest names in the business, this is the plan. Grab tickets, pick your outfit, and save some energy for 11:59.
