These are the five best concerts in Miami this weekend.

Could one of these rappers be the next big thing?

With his sweetheart smile and bad-boy biceps, Jake Miller looks like the pop star that record labels could only dream of sculpting. But he has more than good looks and catchy hooks: He has a backbone. Originally a rapper from Weston, Florida, Miller etched his name onto the Billboard charts…

Interpol is one of the hardest-working low-key bands on the indie scene. So it’s no surprise that when the trio completed its sixth album, Marauder, there was plenty of leftover material. Last August, the bandmates released Marauder, on which they collaborated with Flaming Lips and MGMT producer Dave Fridmann. Interpol guitarist and…

Talking to Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet, you’d never guess he was the bassist of the biggest young rock band to emerge in decades. The 20-year-old speaks humbly and philosophically about his success. That’s a feat for someone so young, especially after the band’s first full-length album…

“New Person, Same Old Mistakes” was covered by Rihanna, and he’s since collaborated with the likes of  Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson and Travis Scott — the kinds of artists I probably would have sneered at before I fell in love with Currents.

Remember those black-and-white parental advisory stickers? The music industry used to slap them on CDs to warn parents about explicit content. Well, you can thank Judas Priest for them — at least in part. Priest’s “Eat Me Alive,” along with songs by Prince, Def Leppard, Madonna, and the Disney-princess-like Sheena…

Judas Priest, Steve Aoki, Macy Gray, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, April 29 through May 5.

Ten notable dates and selectors Miami clubgoers should mark on their calendars.

I spent the summer of 1999 in Seoul mesmerized by the K-pop music videos that ran on repeat on the TV set in my grandparents’ high-rise apartment. I swooned over the members of the then-popular boy band H.O.T., and I yearned to be in a girl group like S.E.S or…

The energetic, Grammy-nominated tropical-rock group is joined on the track by the legendary reggae musician and producer Freddie McGregor

The first thing you notice about Turkuaz is the colors: Each band member — and there are nine of them — wears a different bright hue when performing. “It started when we were looking for some kind of cohesive wardrobe to have, but each member really has their own vibe,…

Imogen Heap, Method Man and Redman, Danay Suarez, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, April 22 through 28.

These are the five best concerts in Miami this weekend.

Imogen Heap knows what it’s like to be a successful musician and mentor to the world’s biggest pop stars even as she remains anonymous to entire swaths of the human population.

For any 4/20 enthusiast, Kaya Fest is a must-do. Created in 2017 by Stephen Marley, the Grammy-winning reggae musician and son of Bob Marley, the event offers a combination of cannabis education and topnotch music performances. This year’s lineup includes Sean Paul, Busta Rhymes, and a special guest performance by Pitbull…

You don’t typically see a guy lugging a piano into a punk club, but in the late ’90s, with his eponymous alt-rock band Ben Folds Five, the musical mastermind and keys guy used to do just that. It was those displays of grit, along with addictive pop songs such as “Brick,”…

Brothers Richard (on vocals) and Tim Butler (on bass) were fascinated with the contrast between the primal edginess of punk and the smooth sophistication of art rock. So the band — which formed in the Butler family living room — melded these styles together, creating an attractive fusion of atmospheric rock splashed with waves of pop throughout its melodies and saxophone hooks.

The 21-year-old singer-songwriter has recently been getting plenty of positive attention for his broken-hearted psych-folk songs.

Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Thomas Rhett, Flo Rida, and Sheryl Crow rocked a crowd of about 90,000 scantily clad country music fans in one of the biggest outdoor festivals in South Florida.

Kimbra, the Psychedelic Furs, Claptone, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, April 15 through 22.
