Judging by its name, you might think Combichrist is a Sunday-morning church band. But then you hear those notes of super-aggro-industrial electronic music ripping through the air. It all becomes beautiful blasphemy built exclusively for raging like a maniac.
Just when you thought the pop-star wave of the past decade was on its way out, English singer and model Dua Lipa showed up with the virulently catchy breakup bop “New Rules” and ex-lover sendoff “IDGAF.” She’ll bring her single-lady sing-alongs and impeccable style to Bayfront Park this Tuesday evening. Prolific singer-songwriter Andrew McMahon will return to South Florida at Revolution Live this Friday, and Maroon 5 will hit the BB&T Center with its onslaught of slick hits Sunday.

On a recent Wednesday morning at Miami Beach’s Frank Gehry-designed New World Center, a group of 18 string musicians has gathered for a three-day intensive of lessons, mock auditions, and performance psychology seminars.

In composition as well as curation, Nick León considers all of the angles. Although the Miami-based producer has always demonstrated a keen ear for involved and immersive soundscapes, his latest EP, Friday’s Totem, sees the artist boil down his preexisting techniques to a previously unheard degree.
Las Rosas is celebrating its first anniversary. Kind of. “What gave us the name,” the Allapattah bar’s owner, Cesar Morales, says, “was there was a Central American bar at the same location called Las Rosas. It was a true dive bar. It was really worn-down. But the sign was there, and something about it worked.”

This summer is a great time to be a music fan in Miami. From Britney Spears to the Smashing Pumpkins, some of the most important tours in America are making their way to South Florida. This roundup includes a list of brave souls who are willing to endure the Miami heat and who — in our opinion — are the best. From lesser-known acts to large-scale ones hitting venues of all sizes across the region, here are the ten best concerts coming to South Florida this June through August.
For decades, Dave Daniels, the original owner of Little Haiti’s Churchill’s Pub, lived in a quaint house behind the bar. Just outside his window, live music wailed, drunken lovers humped on his washing machine, and petty fights raged. Daniels has moved on from his life in Lemon City. But his former abode will temporarily serve as a pop-up shop for work by Ahol Sniffs Glue. The artist is bringing his Cyber Trap Boutique from the internet to the real world. And in proper Miami fashion, he’s also bringing the party with his recognizable merchandise.
Porgie Town, also known as Gigi, lives in a 160-square-foot apartment, where she’s launching a candle-making business. That might sound like an incredibly tiny amount of square footage in which to work or live, but it’s a step up from her last housing situation.
Some of the biggest Latin-music artists will hit South Florida stages this week. Enrique Iglesias, Ozuna, and Bad Bunny will all perform at the American Airlines Arena Saturday, Cuban reggaeton group Gente de Zona will play a hump-day show at the Fillmore Miami Beach, and Colombian ensemble Monsieur Periné will return to the North Beach Bandshell Sunday night. Whether your style is more Latinurbano or alterlatino, expect these artists to keep you dancing.
Shania Twain has learned the hard way that she needs to root for herself before the applause comes in.
Early last month, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions made it a federal offense for immigrants to cross the American border where there are no checkpoints.

Musicians not named Adele make most of their money from touring, not singles and albums. But Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden came up with a clever way to fund the 12 tracks on their latest album, The Only Road.
LGBTQ fans have long played a crucial role in the careers of pop stars, but artists have not always returned the favor. Tour mates Harry Styles and Kacey Musgraves are rewriting the rules about how queer communities and identities should be approached within the mainstream medium of pop music.
Dua Lipa is best known for last summer’s infectious breakout single “New Rules.” The song has thus far spent 43 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, is a bona fide earworm, and is, frankly, solid relationship advice. Ignoring drunk phone calls from exes is always a good idea and one that so many of us fail to remember.
The project is very much a product of living in London — a claustrophobic city, in Edmund Kenny’s estimation, a place where it’s easy to feel faceless among the masses.
