Basel is rapidly approaching this city like a dark cloud full of expensive art and pretentious New Yorkers.
But, there's a silver-lining to this cloud: music. Because while we'll have to suffer through insufferable traffic and long lines next week, we also get some pretty great shows. You can check some of them out on our still-growing Art Basel party guide.
Many of these great shows will be happening at Wynwood's Mana next week. On Friday, it's Jamie xx and Four Tet. Then on Saturday, A$AP Rocky and friends will be coming to town.
But before any of that happens, Mana's Art Basel week will kick off with a stellar Life and Death showcase. This year marks Life and Death's fourth Basel showcase. Presented by locals PL0T and III Points, Thursday's concert will include Life and Death artists Tale of Us, Mind Against, Thugfucker, as well as a special guest Richie Hawtin, fresh off a summer-long Ibiza residency.
