Global Gathering took place for the first time in the United States on 18 March 2006 in Miami,Florida, at the city-owned Bicentennial Park alongside Biscayne Bay. This event marked the first time that the festival has gone across the Atlantic. Angel Music Group, parent company of Godskitchen, partnered up with United States-based companies Track Entertainment (which acquired AMG on June 5th, 2006), and Club Space to produce and promote the event. Acts included Sasha and John Digweed, Deep Dish, Roger Sanchez, Adam Freeland, Murk, and rock acts such as Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Lacuna Coil, Avenged Sevenfold, Tommy Lee, and more.

With the success of the Miami event, Global Gathering is doing a second Stateside festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Labor Day Weekend in September of 2006. Performers are all being confirmed as of this writing.
