- Little Dreams Foundation Gala: Dreaming on the Beach Charity Concert at the Fillmore Miami Beach: Phil Collins canceled his performance at the 2014 Little Dreams Foundation Gala at the last minute because of illness, but the singer is back and promises the show will go on. More than a year has passed, and David

I can say there will be music 'in the air' that night 'against all odds' and 'in paradise.'" We can only hope. - Sinatra Sings Sinatra: A Multimedia Centennial Celebration at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts: From Frank Sinatra's 100th-birthday celebration at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach to the unveiling of HistoryMiami's "Sinatra: An America Icon" exhibit, the Magic City's Sinatra centennial celebration continues.

- Mobb Deep at Churchill's Pub: Mobb Deep has gone through its fair share of drama throughout the years – feuds, jail sentences, '90s-era violence, and ever-changing trends — but the Queens rap duo remains on top of its game. In 2014, Havoc and Prodigy celebrated the 20th anniversary of The Infamous — the album that gave the two Mobb members their rep — with the release of The Infamous Mobb Deep. The occasion sparked a tour, which brought Havoc and Prodigy to Miami's Bardot. This year, hip-hop's OGs will spit breaks at Churchill's when they make their 305 return.
