After a drenched weekend in usually sunny Miami, the rain shows no signs of letting up this week. It’s tempting to stay under the covers all week watching Netflix, but there are too many exciting events happening around town, even as we wait for the first ray of sunshine in days to crack through the clouds this week…
Justin Timberlake, Afrikin Festival 2018, the Redland International Orchid Festival, and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend.
Sting and Shaggy will kick off their North American tour at the Fillmore Miami Beach September 15.
HistoryMiami’s new exhibit, “Miami Rocks: The Miami Pop Festival, May 1968,” on display May 18 through September 30, pays homage to the vital role Miami played during a pivotal era in American music history. Michael Lang, the promoter behind Woodstock, also organized the Miami Pop Festival. He would later go on to say that “the seeds of Woodstock were sown” here.
Summer concert season is heating up with not one, but two South Florida shows by Justin Timberlake this week and a Saturday-night performance by Maluma at the American Airlines Arena. Ellen Allien will hit the decks at Floyd with Rex the Dog this Friday night, and New Found Glory will headline a benefit for the victims and survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
Before summer temperatures arrive in full force, head outdoors this week to get some exercise, catch some rays, and enjoy live music. Locos por Juana will ease your hump-day blues with a free concert in Brickell, the newly opened GeckoParX and Paddletopia will host creative ways to get active, and the Key Largo Original Music Fest will offer four days of some of the nation’s finest independent songwriters.
Rolling Loud, Mother’s Day events, and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend.
Miami’s premier hip-hop festival will roll into a new location at Hard Rock Stadium this week after ditching Bayfront Park. Cardi B will no longer headline this year’s Rolling Loud Festival as she awaits the arrival of Baby Bardi, but Offset will hit the stage with his Migos mates, along with headliners J. Cole, Travis Scott, and Future.
This week’s free events are all about reaching out to connect Miami’s diverse communities. A concert at the Wynwood Yard aims to bring together audiences of different backgrounds and genre preferences; panels at Nova and the Miami Workers Center will discuss the threats facing marginalized communities in America; and ongoing Haitian Heritage Month events celebrate the pride and traditions of Miami’s Haitian community.
“Two more spine injections and then I’m free.” That is not a text a writer typically receives before interviewing a musician, but there’s nothing illicit about the message. The man sending it is Dr. Jay Kuchera. He plays guitar for the blues-jam-rock-bluegrass-melding band the String Assassins, which will rock the Ford Stage at SunFest this Saturday, May 5.
Cinco de Mayo celebrations, Fort Lauderdale Air Show, Star Wars Day, and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend, May 4 through 6.
It’s a great week for rock ‘n’ roll fans in Miami. Queens of the Stone Age will hit Bayfront Park Tuesday night, and local heavyweights Viniloversus, Heavy Drag, and SunGhosts will play at venues around town this week. But it can’t all be good news. Bhad Bhabie — AKA the “Cash Me Ousside” girl — somehow milked her 15 minutes of talk-show fame into a show at the Hangar. If you’re paying for that one, it’s on you.
It’s only Monday, but let’s cut to the chase: You’re already planning for Saturday’s Cinco de Mayo festivities. Before you start slamming tequila shots, slow down and celebrate Star Wars Day at Miami’s own Star Wars-themed brewery, J. Wakefield. And once you’ve recovered, wind down at the Little Haiti Book Festival or take your pet to Woofstock at the Barnacle Historic State Park.
Ozzy Osbourne, Danny Daze, Love Burn, Bad Bunny, and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend, April 27 through 29.
Janna Pelle’s “Hit and Run” music video pays tribute to Miami cyclist and lifelong best friend Patrick Wanninkhof, who was killed by a distracted driver in 2015.
O Miami’s monthlong poetry festival comes to a close this week with readings at the Betsy and the North Dade Regional Library. As you gear up for May, commemorate National Jazz Appreciation Month with a performance by Aaron Lebos Reality, or take in the mind-bending visual and sound installations of Laure Prouvost’s exhibit “They Are Waiting for You” at the recently remodeled Bass.
David Foster brings his Hitman Tour to the Arsht Center Wednesday, and the high-flying Pink plays the BB&T Center the same night. The Foo Fighters return to South Florida at Coral Sky Amphitheater the following day, and Bad Bunny closes out the week at the American Airlines Arena.
There is no logical reason for the Eagles to be playing onstage to a stadium crowd of tens of thousands of people each night in 2018. The seminal rock band has been through breakups, disputes, lawsuits, and, most critically, the untimely death of founding member and integral songwriter Glenn Frey in January 2016.
Miami’s genre-bending Nu Deco Ensemble is on the cusp of closing its third season, but before the musicians move on to forthcoming projects, they’re taking a step back in time with indie-pop singer-songwriter and violinist Kishi Bashi for the world premiere of Improvisations on EO9066 at the New World Center.
Record Store Day, III Joints, Wynwood Life, and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend, April 20 through April 22.
Diplo headlines E11even after a Record Store Day signing, and the Eagles return to South Florida. Here’s your Miami music and nightclub party calendar for this week.
At American Airlines Arena this past weekend, some of the biggest stars of the reggaeton world ushered in the newest crop of hitmakers.
