This summer, Coldplay and the Weeknd will bring their stadium-sized shows to Miami Gardens, while Clipse, Darude, Blink-182, and Katy Perry will fill the nostalgia-sized hole in your heart. The pop girlies are also on deck, with Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa doing several shows at the Kaseya Center downtown. If you prefer your music en español, there's Argentine pop star Emilia and Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA to look forward to.
Below, check out 15 concerts taking over Miami venues this summer.
Coldplay at the Hard Rock Stadium (July 26)
Whether you're a fan or think the band is a bunch of sellouts, Coldplay is arguably one of the 21st Century's most influential bands. The quintet's first four albums — Parachutes (2000), A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), X&Y (2005), and Viva La Vida (2008) — are probably one of the strongest strings of releases for any band. Coldplay released its tenth album, Music of the Spheres Vol. II: Moon Music, in 2024, and South Florida fans will finally get a chance to witness the band as part of its Music of the Spheres World Tour on Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, at Hard Rock Stadium. Expect a bombastic show that will fill up the stadium with pop-rock tunes. With Ayra Starr and Elyanna. 6:45 p.m. Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, at Hard Rock Stadium, 347 Don Shula Dr., Miami Gardens; 305-943-8000; hardrockstadium.com. Sold out.Shania Twain at Hard Rock Live (August 1 and 2)
Yes, Morgan Wallen is the big country concert everyone is excited about this summer, but Shania Twain is the country concert you don't want to miss. The country superstar will perform at Hard Rock Live on Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2. Expect Twain to sing her litany of hits, including "That Don't Impress Me Much," "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and "I'm Gonna Getcha Good." 7:30 p.m. Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2, at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood; 954-797-5531; casino.hardrock.com. Tickets cost $116.15 to $302.10 via ticketmaster.com.Clipse at Fillmore Miami Beach (August 12)
Virginia Beach hip-hop duo Clipse — made up of Pusha T and Malice — had its first breakthrough in 2002 with the Neptunes-produced track "Grindin'." Considered one of the greatest tracks of the 2000s, "Grindin'" peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, with its sparse beat still influencing hip-hop today. Later this month, Clipse is finally releasing its long-awaited comeback album, Let God Sort Em Out, with former Neptunes member Pharrell Williams once again at the helm. Miami will welcome the duo back when Clipse's tour stops at the Fillmore Miami Beach on Tuesday, August 12. With Earthgang. 8 p.m. Tuesday, August 12, at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; fillmore-miami.com. Tickets cost $81.50 to $139.50 via ticketmaster.com.Darude at the Ground (August 15)
You know it very well. You've heard it everywhere — from memes to the pump-up jams played at sports arenas. The reach of the track "Sandstorm" can be felt far and wide. The genius behind the trance anthem is Finnish producer Darude, who is amazed by the track's enduring popularity. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Sandstorm," Darude is touring the globe as part of his Storm 25 Tour. He'll stop in Miami on Friday, August 15, at the Ground, so get ready to give yourself to the rhythm. 11 p.m. Friday, August 15, the Ground, 34 NE 11th St. #2, Miami; thegroundmiami.com. Tickets cost $15 to $30 via dice.fm. The Weeknd at Hard Rock Stadium (August 15 and 16)
Canadian supernova The Weeknd brings his larger-than-life After Hours Til Dawn Tour to Hard Rock Stadium for a two-night stint. Also on the bill are rapper Playboi Carti and producer Mike Dean. The brand new stadium show supports his recent album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, the final chapter in his sonic trilogy, which also includes 2020's After Hours and 2022's Dawn FM. The album was also accompanied by a film of the same name, starring Jenny Ortega, Barry Keoghan, and Abel himself. Unfortunately, critics panned it, calling it nothing more than a vanity project. However, with the Weeknd always shining on the stage, expect the live show to deliver. 7 p.m. Friday, August 15, and Saturday, August 16, at Hard Rock Stadium, 347 Don Shula Dr., Miami Gardens; 305-943-8000; hardrockstadium.com. Tickets cost $91.15 to $412.25 via ticketmaster.com.Cash Money Millionaires at Amerant Bank Arena (August 17)
Hip-hop supergroup Cash Money Millionaires will take over the Amerant Bank Arena on Sunday, August 17, reminding you of the time when Southern rappers ruled the airwaves and charts. The 30th anniversary concert features Birdman, Juvenile, Freeway, Young Gunz, Mannie Fresh, Beanie Sigel, the Lox, Turk, B.G., and the 400 Degreeez Band. There is one notable omission from the lineup: Lil Wayne. Will he make an appearance? Here's hoping. 7 p.m. Sunday, August 17, at the Amerant Bank Arena, 1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise; 954-835-7000; amerantbankarena.com. Tickets cost $117 to $247 via seatgeek.com. Emilia at Fillmore Miami Beach (August 22 and 23)
Argentine pop star Emilia lands at the Fillmore Miami Beach for a two-night stint on Friday, August 22, and Saturday, August 23. If you are unfamiliar with Emilia, where the hell have you been? She's currently one of the biggest Latin pop acts in the world, having received kudos from the likes of Charli XCX. Her sophomore album, 2023's .MP3, was a massive hit across Latin America and Spain, with singles like "Jagger" and "Jet Set." She has also collaborated with artists such as Tini, Tiago PZK, Anitta, and Nathy Peluso. Her aesthetic borrows heavily from early Britney Spears and Bratz dolls. 8 p.m. Friday, August 22, and Saturday, August 23, at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; fillmore-miami.com. Tickets cost $52.10 to $118.50 via ticketmaster.com. Katy Perry at Kaseya Center (August 23)
Once considered the biggest pop star in the world, Katy Perry isn't exactly burning up the charts these days. Still, there is no denying that she's gifted the world some of the biggest pop bangers of the 21st Century, including "Teenage Dream," "Firework," and "Roar." Luckily, Perry's upcoming Lifetimes Tour focuses less on her poorly received comeback album, 2024's 143, and instead focuses on her career-spanning legacy. Yes, you've seen the memes, but you've got to give Perry credit — she knows how to put on a show. 7 p.m. Saturday, August 23, at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $83.40 to $315.20 via ticketmaster.com. Blink-182 at the Hard Rock Live (August 28)
Pop-punk pioneers Blink-182 land at Hard Rock Live along with Alkaline Trio and Beauty School Dropout. Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker's Missionary Impossible Tour follows the trio's 2024 One More Time...Tour in support of the album of the same name. There hasn't been a new release except for the deluxe version of the album, One More Time...Part-2. But you're probably expecting to hear the songs that made you fall in love with the band, like "What's My Age Again?" and "I Miss You," anyway. 7 p.m. Thursday, August 28, at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood; 954-797-5531; myhrl.com. Tickets cost $229.15 to $554.75 via ticketmaster.com.Lady Gaga at Kaseya Center (August 31, September 1, and September 3)
Paws up, Little Monsters! Lady Gaga is back on the road in support of her critically acclaimed comeback album, Mayhem. Unfortunately, the upcoming Mayhem Ball only stops in eight North American cities, including Miami. That meant tickets are in high demand, with the trio of Miami shows being the only ones in the South. There are just a handful of tickets left for the September 3 show, so don't expect them to last long. 8 p.m. Sunday, August 31; Monday, September 1; and Wednesday, September 3; the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $593 to $994.20 via ticketmaster.com.Kali Uchis at Kaseya Center (September 5)
Grammy Award-winning artist Kali Uchis stops at the Kaseya Center as part of the Sincerely, Tour. The show is in support of her fifth album, 2025's Sincerely. "The album has many hallmarks of Uchis' sound, evoking organic silks and rose body oil with a signature mix of kiss-offs and cosmic, jazzy-R&B, and dream-pop breakdowns, à la Cocteau Twins," noted writer Stefanie Fernández in her four-star review of the album for Rolling Stone. The album is the follow-up to her much-beloved reggaeton-infused 2024 release, Orquídeas. With Thee Sacred Souls. 8 p.m. Friday, September 5, at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $48.50 to $170.95 via ticketmaster.com.Benson Boone at Kaseya Center (September 14)
Are you still trying to figure out what the hell "moonbeam ice cream" is? You're not alone. But while you continue to wonder, Benson Boone will backflip into town on Sunday, September 14, as part of his American Heart Tour. While Boone has yet to win over music critics — who often call him out for his flimsy lyricism and uninspired musicality — audiences are buying what he's selling in droves. Case in point: the Miami show quickly sold out. 8 p.m. Sunday, September 14, at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; kaseyacenter.com. Sold out.Stereolab at Miami Beach Bandshell (September 16)
London-based avant-pop band Stereolab will make a rare South Florida appearance at the Miami Beach Bandshell on Tuesday, September 16. Formed in 1990 by Tim Gane and Laetitia Sadier, the band reunited in 2019 after a ten-year hiatus. This year, Stereolab returned with its 11th album, Instant Holograms, on Metal Film. In his four-star review for the Guardian, writer Alexis Petridis noted that the album "offers a very strong example of Stereolab doing what they do." Now signed to Warp Records, the band remains one of the most influential post-rock acts. 8 p.m. Tuesday, September 16, at Miami Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; miamibeachbandshell.com. Tickets cost $47.38 via dice.fm.Anuel AA at Kaseya Center (September 19)
If you missed his Legends Never Die Tour in 2023, Anuel AA returns to the Kaseya Center on September 19 as part of his Real Hasta La Muerte Tour. The Puerto Rican rapper will supposedly release his highly anticipated fifth album, Real Hasta la Muerte 2, sometime this year. Anuel has released tracks like "Bugatti" and the Blessd collaboration "Deportivo," but it's unclear if these singles will be included on the rumored album. What is certain is that Anuel will blow the roof off the Kaseya, likely with a few surprise guests to boot. 8 p.m. Friday, September 19, at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets cost $95.70 to $594 via ticketmaster.com. 
Dua Lipa will bring her Radical Optimism Tour to the Kaseya Center on September 26 and 27, 2025.
