Rise and shine, party people... The last week of 2014 is upon us.

And in celebration of the past 12 months, we here at Crossfade are hooking you up with a little music to help end the year with a bang.

So hit up the Magic City streets and get ready for the five best concerts going down this week, from Boys Noize at Grand Central to Phish at the AAA to Greg Allman at the Hard Rock Live.

Shigeto. With Nuri and Foreign Language. Monday, December 29, 10 p.m. Bardot, 3456 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-576-7750; bardotmiami.com. Tickets cost $18 plus fees via showclix.com. Ages 21 and up. It's the last Monday of the year. There's No Better Time Than Now to head over to Bardot and vibe the night away with the smooth electronic tunes of Ghostly International's Shigeto.

Boys Noize. With Sluggers, Nadus, Damaged Goods, and Robb Bank$. Wednesday, December 30, 11 p.m. Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-377-2277; grandcentralmiami.com. Tickets cost $25 to $30 plus fees via epoplife.com. Ages 18 and up. Ring the "Alarm!" Boys Noize AKA Alex Ridha is in the building, and he's gonna set Grand Central's dance floor on fire.

Phish. New Year's Run 2015. Wednesday, December 31, to Saturday, January 3, 2015, 7:30 p.m. American Airlines Arena, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; aaarena.com. Tickets cost $75 to $250 plus fees via ticketmaster.com. Experience why "it's great to be a Phan during the golden age of Phish" as Trey Anastasio and the rest of the Phish crew play their New Year's Run at the AAA.

Particle. Wednesday, December 31, and Thursday, January 1, 2015, 11 p.m. Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-377-2277; grandcentralmiami.com. Tickets cost $20 to $25 plus fees via ticketfly.com. Ages 18 and up. But if for some reason you can't make it to any of the band's four shows at the American Airlines Arena, you can always groove to the "livetronica, electrofunk, rock, jam" beats of LA's Particle at Grand Central.

Gregg Allman. With Amanda Shires. Sunday, January 4, 2015, 7 p.m. Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood; 954-797-5531; hardrocklivehollywoodfl.com.
