Although Miami is inconveniently located at the tip of the Florida peninsula, it still attracts many talented musicians eager to perform for the South Florida audience. Hey, there’s a reason Kaseya Center was recently named Florida’s highest-grossing venue.
You only need to look at Miami’s upcoming concert calendar to see how active the live music scene is. There are countless shows scheduled throughout 2026, with more surely to come. However, if your wallet can’t handle buying tickets to every show, New Times has combed through the announced shows to pick the ten best.
You’ve got powerhouses like Ariana Grande and Rosalía, who are set to perform multiple shows to adoring fans. Then there’s Peaches and FKA Twigs, who will kick off their respective tours in Miami. Meanwhile, the future of pop music is in good hands with acts like PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson.
Digable Planets at Miami Beach Bandshell (February 13)
Philly-bred hip-hop trio Digable Planets stops at the Miami Beach Bandshell on February 13 as part of the Blowout Comb 30th Anniversary Tour. The tour is in celebration of the 1994 sophomore effort, Blowout Comb, which also happened to be Digable Planets’ final album. Although the album was a commercial failure, peaking at No. 32 on the Billboard 200, it was lauded by critics thanks to its effortless blend of hip-hop, jazz, and ambient music. If you’re still scratching your head trying to figure out if you’ve heard a Digable Planets song before, rest assured, you have. Just search for “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat).” 8 p.m. Friday, February 13, at the Miami Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; miamibeachbandshell.com. Tickets cost $50.66 via eventim.us.
Peaches at ZeyZey (February 20)
Indie sleaze is all the rage with Gen Z these days. Well, listen up, kids. If you want to witness a true icon of the era, you cannot miss the Queen of Electroclash herself, Peaches. When the icon takes the stage at ZeyZey as part of the No Lube So Rude Tour, it will be the closest you’ll get to experiencing early 2000s dance floor euphoria. Peaches has soundtrack many a sleazy night out, thanks to hits like “Fuck the Pain Away,” “AA XXX,” “Shake Yer Dix,” and “Boys Wanna Be Her.” At 59, the Canadian musician is still the epitome of cool, and she’s set to release her first album in over a decade, No Lube So Rude, on February 20. 8 p.m. Friday, February 20, at ZeyZey, 353 NE 61st St., Miami; zeyzeymiami.com. Tickets cost $49.20 to $97.20 via shotgun.live.
FKA Twigs at Factory Town (March 14)
British avant-pop singer FKA Twigs will break her Miami drought when she finally returns to our shores as part of her Body High Tour. The Miami show serves as the tour’s kickoff, with Twigs performing at mid-sized venues and arenas across the U.S. However, the Miami show is taking place at Factory Town, a Berghain-esque backdrop that feels appropo considering that the singer is promoting her albums Eusexua and its companion Eusexua Afterglow. The clubs strongly influenced both albums, so Factory Town should only serve to reinforce that feeling. You also don’t want to miss the opener, Eartheather, another avant-pop legend in her own right. 7 p.m. Saturday, March 14, at Factory Town, 4800 NW 37th Ave., Miami; factorytown.com. Tickets cost $59.50 to $335.02 via dice.fm.
Zara Larsson at the Fillmore Miami Beach (April 7)
If you want to be able to say to everyone you knew about Zara Larsson way back when, you need to start paying attention to the Swedish singer. She’s already released five albums, including her latest, 2025’s Midnight Sun. While she’s enjoyed some minor viral success and is seen as a pop star in Sweden, she still hasn’t conquered the globe in the way she almost seems destined to do. She considers herself a Beyoncé disciple, and you can certainly see that in her vocal prowess as well as her command of the stage. However, she’s carved out her own aesthetic that borrows heavily from the ’90s Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper covers, with neon dolphins leaping out of the picture. Need proof that Larsson is about to blow up? This show was initially scheduled for Revolution Live but moved to the Fillmore due to demand. 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 7, at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; fillmore-miami.com. Sold out.
Romeo Santos and Prince Royce at Kaseya Center (April 25)
So far, Miami’s 2026 concert schedule lacks major Latin music superstars; however, one of the earliest shows that fits that bill will feature powerhouses at the Kaseya Center. Romeo Santos and Prince Royce certainly don’t need any introduction — they’ve been making music longer than many of your current urbano favorites. Still, their music feels as fresh and relevant as the day they were released. Santos and Royce’s sounds, while modern, are based on the storied bachata genre, giving their music a timeless quality. There’s a reason today’s superstars (see Rauw Alejandro and Bad Bunny) are looking to the music of their parents and even grandparents — it’s classic. 8 p.m. Saturday, April 25, at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $105.05 to $1,291.20 via ticketmaster.com.
PinkPantheress at the Fillmore Miami Beach (April 26)
When it comes to pop girlies, is anyone doing it better than the UK these days? Case in point: PinkPantheress, who blew up in 2023 with her Ice Spice-collab “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2,” with her debut album, Heaven Knows, following shortly after. But if you thought Pink was going to be a one-hit wonder, you were sorely mistaken. She returned in 2025 with her mixtape Fancy That, which has surpassed her previous releases in terms of commercial and critical acclaim. It runs just over 20 minutes, allowing PinkPantheress to take you on a ride and drop you off before you get bored. Don’t be foolish and skip out on Pink’s Miami stop of her tour. 8 p.m. Sunday, April 26, at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; fillmore-miami.com. Sold out.
Florence and the Machine at Kaseya Center 4/29
Last year, baroque-pop outfit Florence and the Machine returned with its sixth album, Everybody Scream. It received critical acclaim, demonstrating that nearly two decades later, the band still has plenty of creative output left. Florence Welch and her band are now hitting the road to support the record with the Everybody Scream Tour, which stops at the Kaseya Center on April 29 with Irish singer CMAT as the opener. It will be the band’s first show in South Florida since its 2022 concert during the Dance Fever Tour. In 2024, Welch also popped up during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Miami to perform their collaboration “Florida!!!” 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $50.90 to $299.40 via ticketmaster.com.
Ethel Cain at the Fillmore Miami (May 9)
If you’re chronically online, you might know Ethel Cain from her very public feud with Lana Del Rey, which kept fans of either singer in a tizzy for months. All you really need to know is that, regardless of everything, Cain is a superb musician who has delivered two back-to-back high-caliber albums, 2022’s Peacher’s Daughter and 2025’s Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You. (There was also the highly experimental project Perverts released in early 2025.) The proudly trans musician blends shoegaze, folk, indie pop, Americana, and dark ambient, delivering a sound thats uniquely her own. 8 p.m. Saturday, May 9, at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; fillmore-miami.com. Tickets cost $71 via ticketmaster.com.
Rosalía at Kaseya Center (June 4 and 6)
If Rosalía has proven anything with her latest album Lux, it is that she refuses to be cornered. If Motomami felt like the Spanish singer was leaning more into urbano and pop, Lux feels like a complete rejection of that. With the assistance of the London Symphony Orchestra, Rosalía has crafted an album that seamlessly integrates orchestral music into the present day. Yes, Lux can at times be a challenging listen, especially if you expect more by-the-numbers songs, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t bangers. “Reliquia” might be one of the singer-songwriter’s best songs to date, while “Dios Es un Stalker” feels a bit like older Rosalía. If you saw Rosalía’s performance at III Points in 2022, you’ll know that she can command a stage. Who knows what she’ll have up her sleeve during the Lux Tour? 8:30 p.m. Thursday, June 4, and Saturday, June 6, at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $93.75 to $244.70 via ticketmaster.com.
Ariana Grande at Amerant Bank Arena (June 30, July 2, and July 3)
For Arianators, the release of Wicked and Wicked: For Good might have been the most challenging of times. That’s because, despite releasing her seventh album, 2024’s Eternal Sunshine, Ariana Grande was too busy to properly promote it due to her commitments to the musical movie. Many fans attributed the album’s poor commercial performance and its few Grammy nominations to Grande’s lack of promotion. Well, with the films in the rearview mirror, the Boca Raton native is finally giving it a proper tour, which is stopping at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise for a three-night stint. Yes, finally, you’ll be able to hear Grande belt out tunes from the album, like “Yes, And?” and “The Boy Is Mine.” Here’s hoping she made the long wait worth it. 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 30; Thursday, July 2; and Friday, July 3, at the Amerant Bank Arena, 1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise; amerantbankarena.com. Sold out.
