Concerts

Zion & Lennox, Toni Braxton, the Mavericks, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, January 28 through February 3.

These are the five best concerts in Miami this weekend.

Lucinda Williams is a Grammy-winning rock, folk, blues, and country singer-songwriter who’s been making music for the better part of four decades. Her breakthrough album, “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road,” was released in 1998 when she was 45 years old and just passed its 20th anniversary…

If you’ve attended III Points since year one, you know how integral LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy has been to the festival’s success. He DJ’ed the first year when the festival’s fate was still very uncertain. Of course, there was also the time Murphy was supposed to perform as LCD Soundsystem in 2016 but was forced to cancel the band’s appearance after a near-scare from Hurricane Matthew.

“There’s enough festivals in the world showcasing bands already well known and successful. We wanted to create a space where people who really love music can come hear new sounds and take those sounds home with them to expand their listening horizons,” Snarky Puppy bassist Michael League says of his original intentions for GroundUp Music Festival. “I wanted this to be a festival that only booked artists that aren’t just wonderful, but wonderful live.”

Last year, the two revisited their musical partnership and released a new EP, Apart, a high-production affair that puts Johansson and Yorn’s fun chemistry on full display.

Gladys Knight, Matisyahu, Cheap Trick, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, January 21 through 27.

Miami has an electronic music festival in Ultra, a hip-hop festival in Rolling Loud, and an everything-in-between festival in III Points. But the region’s most popular genre of music — Latin — has remained underserved. That is until now. Fuego Music Festival was just announced. It’s billed as “the first East Coast two-day Latin music festival.”

What composes life in Wynwood? Art. Food. Fashion. Drinks. And music. So why don’t we have an annual festival that celebrates all these wonderful things and call it the Wynwood Life Festival? Perfecto! The Wynwood Life Festival is back for a seventh year, kicking off the afternoon of Friday,…

The band’s heaviest moments deliver absolutely pulverizing, end-of-all-things metal riffage. It’s just that the contrast between the light and dark turns is starker than ever before.

Cher, Redman, Chew, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, January 14 through 20.

Country music is steeped in female voices, from Patsy Cline to Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, and Faith Hill. But not since the Dixie Chicks burst onto the scene in 1998 has an all-female trio experienced such widespread success. “It really happened organically for us, and the timing was just right,” Runaway June lead…

New Order has a bit of a crush on Miami, and based on the response at last night’s sold-out show at the Fillmore, the feeling is mutual. The influential British New Wave group responsible for enduring dance-rock masterpieces such as “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle” announced a Miami stop on the heels of a rescheduled Chile tour date in early December. Within days of going on sale, tickets to the January 12 show had sold out.

Despite more than 400 shows on its roster since its inception four years ago, Atlanta’s three-piece Chew consistently delivers a high-energy live performance laden with spacey psychedelic instrumental sounds that reverb off the walls and straight into your brain. Cofounders of the hard-hitting band are Brett Reagan (guitar/electronics) and Sarah “Snare-Uh” Wilson (drums)…

Sonny & Cher’s 1965 song “I Got You Babe” blares each morning from the clock radio of Bill Murray’s character in the 1993 comedy classic “Groundhog Day.” Asked why he chose that song, writer Danny Rubin said that after several replays, “it would drive you crazy!” But wasn’t there always something also charming about the song?…

Big names top the list of performers at the Pegasus World Cup Invitational, a thoroughbred horserace in its third year of merging the sport with music.

Sweat Records’ Lauren “Lolo” Reskin lists her picks for local up-and-coming acts to look out for in 2019.

It all started with a scheduling conflict. “The band Steve Jr. from New York were touring their new album. They hit me up about playing in Miami,” Ricardo Guerrero, who produces a series of shows called Death to the Sun, tells New Times. “I reached out to Churchill’s, and they told me that Gordo [Emmanuel Nanni, who promotes Hardcore for Punx] already had the date reserved for a punk show…”

The group released only two albums, but they are considered massively influential in the emo-rock genre, leaving sonic traces that lead to the likes of Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World.
