The weekend may be looong gone, but in your mind, it's still Friday and you're still partying it up and poppin' bottles at LIV. But hey, you could still pretend it's the weekend! All you need is good music.

Here are the five best concerts to check out this week, from hardcore to electropop to hip-hop.

Burning Fair Verona. With Kill Billy Jack, Apocalyptic Assault, Sorus, Lacerate Kingdom, and RoTTen.

When One Directioners heard the teenaged heartthrobs were coming to town... OMG, they all fainted. And then they stayed Up All Night watching a shirtless Niall Horan on repeat as he rubs and scrubs himself in the shower scene of the "One Way Or Another" music video.

Capital Cities. With Artime and Ray Milan. Saturday, Jun 14, 10 p.m., at Bardot, 3456 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-576-7750; bardotmiami.com. Tickets cost $15-$26 and will be available at the door.

When the Godfather of Hip-Hop made the "Planet Rock" with his revolutionary track, he gave one command: "you gotta rock it don't stop it, gotta rock it don't stop!" You'll "keep tickin' and tockin'... all around the clock" as Bam celebrates 20 years of the Miami Chapter of the Universal Zulu Nation.
