Brace yourself and pace yourself, because Art Basel is descending upon Miami this week. The official dates for the Magic City's premier gathering of the art elite are December 5 through 8, but the world-renowned fair has expanded its influence not only beyond the boundaries of Miami Beach but also past its penciled-in dates, with satellite parties kicking off as early as this Monday. It’s a good thing you took a break for Thanksgiving, because it might have been your last chance to sleep if you’re plan to make the rounds of these must-see events.
This week’s musical itinerary includes plenty of highlights, such as experimental-house connoisseur Damian Lazarus’ set at the W hotel’s exclusive venue Wall Lounge this Tuesday. U.K. duo Plaid — known for its imaginative post-techno sound and integration of live production into its DJ sets — will helm the decks at the Ground this Wednesday, one of many big-name events kicking off Miami Art Week celebrations that evening. Others include Diplo at E11even, Goldie at Gramps, and Grimes at the RC Cola Plant. Peruse this week’s lineup and take your pick.
Here's your music calendar for December 2 through December 8. Stay ahead of all upcoming shows with New Times' Miami concert calendar.
