The debut event features Mexican indie-rock band Little Jesus at Gramps alongside Venezualan singer-songwriter Gus.

Brian Cid at Do Not Sit on the Furniture

Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Brian Cid will spin at the recently renovated Do Not Sit on the Furniture on Friday night, alongside vibe setter Rader. He emerged as a rising star on New York's underground melodic tech-house scene, and his innovative production shone through, to the point where Cid now boasts a catalog of heavy releases and an imprint, Endangered. 10 p.m. Friday, August 13, at Do Not Sit on the Furniture, 423 16th St., Miami Beach; 510-551-5067; donotsitonthefurniture.com.

Deviant Burial at Gramps

On Saturday at Gramps, Miami death metal outfit Deviant Burial celebrates the CD release of its new EP, Decent to the Darkest Circle. The band, who performed virtually at the Helsinki Death Fest in April, will be joined by merchants of doom Druid Lord, Broward hardcore outfit Charred, and locals Ejecutador.

Tickets cost $12 via eventbrite.com.

Aventura at Hard Rock Stadium

Famed bachata group Aventura, helmed by Anthony "Romeo" Santos, will conclude its postponed Inmortal tour on Saturday at the Hard Rock Stadium, for what the quartet claims will be its final ever performance. Since the group broke into the mainstream in 2002 with the single “Obsesión,” the band reached soaring commercial success with studio albums like God's Project and The Last, eventually becoming one of the most notable Latin-music acts in the world. The group officially disbanded in 2011 to follow solo projects but has since reunited for multiple tours. 8 p.m. Saturday, August 13, at the Hard Rock Stadium, 347 Don Shula Dr., Miami Gardens; 305-943-8000; hardrockstadium.com. Tickets cost $33.50 to $293.50 via ticketmaster.com.

Eric Prydz at Club Space

Swedish DJ Eric Prydz makes his way to Club Space on Sunday alongside Italian producer duo Mathame, making for a high-energy, techno-filled party. As of late, Prydz has been busy releasing music under his fourth alter ego, Tonja Holma, including the new single “All Night.” Meanwhile, Mathame has been turning its penchant for mystical soundscapes into an effort to curb carbon emissions, releasing its first nonfungible token (NFT) project, Angel Alphabet, The First Metamyth, donating a portion of the sales proceeds to Carbon180. 5 p.m. Sunday, August 15, at Club Space, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; 786-357-6456; clubspace.com. Tickets cost $80 to $100 via clubspace.com.

Miami Girl Rock Camp Finale at Gramps

It’s that time of year when Miamians of all ages can start looking forward to the Miami Girls Rock Camp Showcase.

This year, campers have received online and in-person instruction, composed original songs, and filmed their own music videos. The videos will premiere this Sunday at Gramps in Wynwood, followed by performances by Las Nubes and DJ Robbi Robsta. 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sunday, August 15, at Gramps, 176 NW 24th St., Miami; 855-732-8992; gramps.com.
