This week in Miami, there has been a glitch in the time-space continuum. It’s 2008, Barack Obama is president, your T-Mobile Sidekick is buzzing, and you have five seasons of Breaking Bad to look forward to.
Just kidding, but the Black Eyed Peas and Paris Hilton will both be in the Magic City this week. Also on the agenda: Lee Foss brings his Repopulate Mars event to Club Space, and Cuban jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval performs back-to-back shows at the North Beach Bandshell.
Paris Hilton at E11even
The “Stars Are Blind” singer will perform a late-night set at E11even on Thursday, bringing her years of experience at raves, festivals, and nightclubs to the mix, as well as her multi-genre style formed under the tutelage of the late DJ AM and Steve Aoki. Grammy-nominated producer Eric Dlux will also be behind the decks, with resident DJs AM75 and Zeus rounding out the lineup. 8 p.m. Thursday, at E11even, 29 NE 11th St., Miami; 305-829-2911; 11miami.com.
