These are the five best concerts in Miami this weekend.

On March 29, 1969, “Time of the Season” by English rock group the Zombies hit number one on the American Cashbox singles chart — despite the band having broken up 18 months earlier. Fifty years later to the day, on March 29, 2019, the Zombies, with founding members…

You’d think curating the festivities for the makeshift roller rink at III Points last weekend would be enough for Otto Von Schirach and Notorious Nastie in their never-ending quest to keep South Florida weird, but according to them, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Next weekend will bring their Project Pat’s Trap Attack, a three-night extravaganza that will mix music, art, a yacht party, Project Pat, and madness.

That’s a wrap on the sixth edition of III Points. So was the 16-month wait worth it? In short, yes. The new February date proved to be a smart move. Temperatures were much milder, and any worry that the festival would suffer crowd shortages during the busy Presidents’ Day weekend…

Over the past year, the women of Pussy Riot have toured North America to spread their message of civil disobedience on stages from California to Alabama to Mexico. Now they’ll bring their anti-Putin and anti-Trump performance art to the stage at III Points.
