Way back in November, the New Times gave you the very first taste of a new Design District club called the Stage when we hosted our Miami Music Festival party starring Teepee, Heartstrings, Lil Daggers, and Jays Blues.

Remember? Probably not. You were too drunk off all the gratis booze. But now, after months of semi-secret shows and sneak peeks and private parties, the place is finally flinging its doors wide open in a totally permanent way with the Stage VIP Opening Weekend.

Expect tunes from Negroni's Trio, Angela Laino, Stokeswood, Robbie Hunter, Brendan O'Hara, Xperimento, and the Brass King. See the cut for the full schedule.
