Together, we have built a cultural movement and we are eager to share with everyone in the city and the world.”
Daniella Levine Cava, mayor of Miami-Dade County, said: “Thank you to Billboard for continuing to choose Miami and for continuing to invest in the music and artists that mean so much to our community and the world.
