Pitbull has nothing less than worldwide domination on his mind. One key component of that plan: knocking New York’s Times Square off its pedestal as the planet’s most-watched New Year’s Eve party. For the third year running, Mr. 305 will try to make a dent in the national television ratings with his own blowout fiesta in the Magic City. And this year’s guest list might just make it the best year-end throwdown he’s hosted yet.
Some people plan to stay at home during Nochebuena so they can wake up early and help to prepare their family’s Christmas meal. But we have a better option for your Saturday night: Cut a Rug. As the name indicates, Cut a Rug is a party that intends to make…
For all the awful stuff that happened this year, rest assured of one thing: Miami’s music scene is alive and well. Whether it’s dance, hip-hop, rock, metal, or everything in between, 305’s artists made themselves heard with an amazing body of work that had listeners in awe. If your knowledge of Miami music goes only as far as Pitbull and Rick Ross, now is the time to get to know the acts who actually made the most of 2016.

There’s no tougher weekend on your pocketbook than the last of the month. You’ve been spending over your means for three weeks now, and suddenly it hits you: This has to be a low budget kind of weekend, especially with all the Halloween festivities on the calendar next week. That…

We all love Miami nightlife, but sometimes it’d be nice to escape the usual routine, right? A jaunt into ’20s Berlin debauchery, for instance, or a quick trip to Rio’s unique party scene might be just the kind of shakeup your night on the town needs. That’s the thinking, at…

First of all, it’s time to celebrate that Hurricane Matthew decided to spare Miami its worst. Second, let’s give thanks that III Points is still up and running.

Days before Merchandise’s debut performance at Gramps, and weeks before the release of the band’s new album, A Corpse Wired for Sound, we got the chance to talk to lead singer Carson Cox about the state of his buzz-worthy little Florida band. Merchandise, originally from Tampa, has been touring the…
The words “Design District” and “free” go together about as often as “Kanye West” and “humble.” It’s not exactly an area of Miami known for its live music, either. So, you can imagine our surprise when we found out about this weekend’s upcoming Day Into Night celebration happening in Miami’s swankiest district…
As we mentioned on Monday, the range of music happening this weekend in Miami is, to say the least, overwhelming. It’s a good week to be a music fan in the 305. But it’s a really good week to be a rock fan in Miami. That’s because Miami’s historic Little Haiti punk…

Many locals over the…
This weekend, fight the Zika paranoia in Wynwood and head to the Electric Pickle to see the Brooklyn-based No Regular Play live this Saturday. Unless, well, you’re pregnant or trying to get pregnant. If that’s the case, sorry, but Wynwood for you. But for the rest of us non-fertile, healthy folks,…

Drinking, dancing, and roller skating? Sure, it’s maybe not the safest idea, but a lineup like this is worth a few bruises. Miami has always had a passion for strapping on the skates and many natives have colorful memories of nights of debauchery and roller disco. And this Saturday, all…
