Before you celebrate all of that freedom next week — a concept definitely invented in the greatest nation in the world, ‘Merica — you have Independence Day weekend to look forward to. The leadup to the Fourth of July is packed with appearances, including Steve Aoki at Story, Lil Yachty at LIV, and Technasia at Heart on Friday and Apollonia at Space, Nora En Pure at Wall, and Flosstradamus at Ora on Saturday.
This week, American Airlines Arena will collapse with so much Miami-ness under one roof. That’s because Mr. Worldwide, AKA Mr. 305, Pitbull will share the stage with Spanish-born, Miami-raised singer Enrique Iglesias. Will the duo set off an implosion of neon and tropical heat? Probably.
If you’re a Miami sports fan, chances are you’re pretty bored right now. Sure, the Marlins have been playing OK, but they’re still seven games under .500. And if you’re among the majority committed to not giving Jeffrey Loria a cent of your hard-earned cash, you have three long, sweaty months left to dodge mosquitoes and hope for better entertainment come football season.
Even in a year when Donald Trump vacuumed up all available political oxygen like a voracious orange Roomba, Miami’s local politicos still made some unbelievable headlines.

Will Miami weather fare better this week? Like so many things occurring in South Florida, that remains a mystery. However, acts are still pouring into the Magic City to perform at music venues and clubs. Chance the Rapper kicks things off Tuesday with his show at the American Airlines Arena…

Even though we try to hide it, it’s clear – summer has officially started in Miami. But don’t walk away, because there are still plenty of concerts to get you through the next blistering months. This week you can relive the glory days with Brit Floyd, catch free shows from Holly Hunt and The Heavy Pets, or choke back your tears with Macy Gray.
Summer is almost here, and that means outdoor music has slowed. But it’s not over. Best of the Best Music Fest this Sunday will present Mavado, Aidonia, Konshens, Dexta Daps, Chris Martin, Spice, I-Octane, and others at Bayfront Park. Urban Beach Week moves to the mainland, baby. Here’s your music calendar for the week.

Can’t feel your face? That’s called a Tuesday at any Miami bar. For the rest of America, Canadian pop and R&B crooner the Weeknd introduced the wonders of cocaine via his breakthrough album, 2015’s Beauty Behind the Madness.

Like the famed python that tried to eat an entire alligator, Miami is literally exploding with new residents.

Hip-hop heads, your week has finally arrived. Rolling Loud is bringing together some of the best contemporary hip-hop acts at Bayfront Park for a three-day bonanza. It’s still unclear how Dope Entertainment puts together the most enviable lineup of the year, but who cares? The bad news is…
The chant echoed through downtown Miami on Saturday morning: “Science, not silence!” Thousands marched from the new Frost Museum of Science south along Biscayne Blvd. with a message for Donald Trump’s administration: Science can’t be denied when it’s politically inconvenient.
The final week of April is here, and the month goes out with a big bang thanks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers who bring their tour to the American Airlines Arena on Saturday in support of their 11th album, The Getaway.
It’s 4/20 week, so if the music seems a little hazier than usual, that’s to be expected. Bud-happy parties aside, L.A. rock group Froth will take the stage at Churchill’s Pub Wednesday, while Detroit rapper Big Sean will stop by the Fillmore Miami Beach Thursday. Looking for noise that’s more…
With major arena tours from Ariana Grande, the Chainsmokers, Chris Brown, and Panic! at the Disco hitting South Florida this week, it will be a music-filled month. In club land, electroclash icon Miss Kittin goes B2B with Oxia at Heart, while Duke Dumont, who was surprisingly absent last month during…
The line stretched all the way down Biscayne Boulevard: thousands of Miamians clutching signs bearing phrases such as “Sister, act,” “The 4-year pussy riot starts now,” and “Trump voters: It’s fascism, stupid.” An hour after Bayfront Park Amphitheatre’s gates opened, they had to close. South Florida’s answer to the national…
Thanks to a bitter election and seemingly endless culture war, last year was a roller coaster, and the films of 2016 reflect those ups and downs, with surprising results.
