It's Independence Day week, and Miami's music calendar is loaded. Today, Electric Karnival promises to bring Caribbean riddims and electronic beats together with a lineup that includes Walshy Fire, Bunji Garlin, Brenmar, Ape Drums, and many others. Tonight, Heart and Space will go head-to-head with sets by Chus & Ceballos and Sasha, respectively.
Later in the week, expect superstar performances by Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper (July 6), Incubus (July 6), Metallica (July 7), and Paul McCartney (July 7). Finally, close out the week with the terribly named but worthy indie-rock band from Portland, STRFKR, performing at the Hangar.
