Concerts

These are the ten best concerts coming to Miami this winter.

Gary Richards is in a much calmer place in the leadup to the second edition of FriendShip than he was for the first. A preparty for the dance music-centric cruise at the Miami Beach nightclub Basement has sold out, and the various mechanics of the outing — the Dial-a-DJ sets, the layout of the staging on Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas, and the excursions to the Bahamian island of CocoCay — have all been refined.

Now in its fourth year, the South Beach Jazz Festival has established itself on Miami’s cultural calendar. The festival is being kicked off on Friday, January 3 with a performance by multi-Grammy award winner David Sanborn. His is one of just two ticketed shows across the festival’s three days; most events…

The indie-rock band will return to the Magic City January 25 for a headlining performance at Gramps.

Even as the last ten years saw Miami’s music and nightlife scenes undergo a series of seismic shifts, the city still made time to host a number of incredible shows. Although the DJ reigns supreme here, a number of live acts also left their mark on the minds and memories…

Few nights are more widely celebrated than New Year’s Eve, and there is no better place to ring in the new year than the Magic City. As visitors arrive in droves to party at Miami’s famed nightclubs and venues, don’t wait until the last minute to finalize your plans.

Check out performances by DJ Craze, Bill Orcutt, Boys Noize, Textasy, Adam Beyer, and other acts.

The DJs’ lengthy, marathon-style approach to mixing makes them a perfect fit for the downtown Miami club’s New Year’s Eve celebrations.

The last time the Swedish duo of Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg played together in Miami was during Ultra 2015. They were DJing during the sunset at the Carl Cox Megastructure, and a brief torrential downpour forced most stages — but not the Megastructure — to momentarily shutdown and wait out the weather. Whether…

Although he’s known for his electro-doused style, the Dallas-born and Berlin-based DJ/producer is not one to constrain himself to a single lane of sound. Textasy’s appearance at Floyd on Saturday, December 28, will see him joined by Jonny From Space and December Beaches.

The star-studded night of pop spread festive cheer throughout an all-ages audience at the BB&T Center. Throughout the evening, boy bands of all sorts stole the show.

The final countdown to the year’s end is underway, and as the city simmers with anticipation for one of the busiest nights of the year, warm up for the occasion with one of the many music events happening this week. Get festive this Tuesday with DJs Epps and Dozzy Ross at…

Miami rap’s prodigal son, Denzel Curry, will fight for his city in a five-round lyrical boxing match against Atlanta’s J.I.D. next month. The ringside showdown is set to take place in the Magic City Innovation District during a new event called Red Bull Zeltron World Wide, which takes its name from one of Curry’s alter egos…

The dubstep producer’s show at the Venue this Sunday is shaping up to be a display of disgusting visuals and filthy, positively nasty bass music.

Check out performances by The Heavy Pets, Roosevelt Collier, Jonas Brothers, Ozuna, Watain, Morbid Angel, DJ Holographic, and more.

The festival’s techno-minded initiative has announced the first phase of acts who’ll be playing at Bayfront Park on March 20 through 22. Carl Cox, Ultra’s global ambassador for the Resistance brand, will be taking part in a solo set as well as a b2b and b3b.

The German DJ/producer is set to make his long-awaited debut at Club Space’s famed Terrace Saturday, December 27.

For Watain, it’s all about anger, isolationism, and the sinister forces of the worlds beyond. So perhaps it’s fitting that the group’s current U.S. tour nearly succumbed to those same dark forces before it even began.

This season is more than just for best-of roundups and seemingly endless plays of Wham’s “Last Christmas”: It’s also time for Jingle Ball.

Unless you’re a big-label boss or a local, your chances of playing a DJ set in Miami twice in one month are pretty slim. The amount of talent — both local and international — that flows through our electronic paradise is simply too vast.

Even as we inch closer to the end of the year and the decade, Miami’s musical scene is continuing to bring the goods. On Monday, Jarobi of a Tribe Called Quest fame will be continuing his residency at 1-800-Lucky in Wynwood. Madonna’s Madame X Tour residency at the Fillmore Miami…

The celebrated South Florida jam band is bringing their funky, groovy improvisational style to the North Beach Bandshell on Saturday, December 21.
