On Saturday, August 29, 2026, Honolulu will once again become the home of authentic hip-hop as TIDAL WAV 3 Music Festival, presented by Jus Bone and DOTWAV MVMNT, returns for its biggest installment yet. More than just another concert, TIDAL WAV has become a platform dedicated to celebrating hip-hop culture while connecting Hawaiʻi’s rising talent with some of the genre’s most respected artists.
This year’s festival proudly presents Blu & Exile alongside Las Vegas/Hawaii’s own DOTWAV, bringing an unforgettable night of live music to NextDoor Honolulu. Doors open as the show kicks off at 8:00 PM, with performances continuing until 2:00 AM. The event is 18+, welcoming fans from across the islands to experience a night built on community, culture, and independent artistry.
Beyond the headlining performances, TIDAL WAV 3 features an incredible lineup of artists representing both Hawaiʻi and the mainland, including:

Keeping the energy high throughout the evening, the festival will be hosted by Kwalified, creating an atmosphere that celebrates every artist, every performance, and every fan in attendance.

By placing nationally recognized artists on the same stage as emerging independent voices, the festival continues to create opportunities, inspire collaboration, and showcase the depth of Hawaiʻi’s growing hip-hop movement.
