If you’re old enough, you can recollect that in the ’90s, baby-boomers wouldn’t stop boasting how old-time rock ‘n’ roll was best. “Bob Dylan, the Doors, Woodstock, that was when rock was rock,” they’d tell you. The old-timers would keep their radios locked on classic-rock stations playing the same hundred songs in constant rotation and save their money for anytime the Moody Blues or Donovan would come to town.
DITHER will host a smorgasbord of local talent.
As keyboardist for the celebrated electronic group Front 242, Patrick Codenys is no stranger to unknown territory. For instance, when the band plays the inaugural show at the Ground, a new midsize venue taking up part of Club Space on Eleventh Street in downtown Miami, it’ll come with some colorful…
Depending on how you look at it, Arcade Fire’s performance at the Watsco Center this Saturday has been anywhere from 13 to four years in the making. Despite being among the most visible faces of indie rock, earning a well-deserved Grammy for 2010’s The Suburbs, and its status as one…
With Irma already feeling like a distant memory for most of Miami, the city is quickly getting back into the swing of things. This week, Arcade Fire finally keeps its promise of returning to Miami after the band’s two secret show, and so far only South Florida appearances, in 2013…
The band you’ll hear at American Airlines Arena may not be the one you remember.
Refunds will be given at point of purchase.
As the storm clouds of Hurricane Irma have receded, so have the clouds of mystery surrounding the status of Depeche Mode’s Miami performance: the show will go on. The seminal dark synthpop band announced on Twitter that the Miami date of their Global Spirit World Tour on Friday, September 15,…
Hurricane Irma has come and gone. You’ve spent a week worrying, preparing, stocking up on bottled water, and struggling with your hurricane shutters. Now that the storm has passed, it’s time to party. These are the best shows still coming to town this week, Irma be damned.
In a city with a future lies that lies in the cone of uncertainty, there was at least one large room where Miami could forget the dread and anxieties on Wednesday night. For more than two hours at the Fillmore Miami Beach, Modest Mouse brought the goods. It wasn’t until 1 in…
There’s “Misery Business” and then there’s this.
With South Florida in complete pandemonium with the monster Hurricane Irma on the horizon, there is confusion and incertitude over what is open and what is closed. Ticket holders for events scheduled for the days before Irma approaches might be wondering if the show will go on. Ticketmaster has been…
Is your highly anticipated show still going on, or has it been canceled? Find out here.
Paramore has gone from being early aughts pop-punk rockers to a Talking Heads-inspired new wave outfit with its fifth album, After Laughter. If you’re missing the band’s “Misery Business” era, rest assured: Paramore will probably perform it alongside newer cuts like “Hard Time” and “Told You So” when the trio…
Tonight in Miami, Kendrick Lamar gave a performance that was, in a word, humbling. With its thrilling special effects, high-wire stunts, and the raw star power of the greatest living rapper, the final stop on the DAMN. Tour at American Airlines Arena was wilder and more grandiose than any show…
Who needs a band these days when you have a loop pedal? Not Ed Sheeran, apparently. Playing to a crowd that spanned generations and genders but skewed heavily toward young women and girls, the English singer-songwriter made it clear at his sold-out Wednesday-night concert at the American Airlines Arena that he’s the world’s biggest one-man band.
Paramore understands that the artists who stand the test of time are the shape-shifters.
Shortly after adding a whole bunch of artists to its lineup already overstuffed with talent, III Points has announced a limited supply of single-day tickets. As of at 10 a.m. today, August 29, the festival is selling one-day passes for $99 plus tax.
Chris Martin is a ham. Fans have long known this. Like his fellow Brit, the knighted bassist of history’s most famous and fab band, Martin is a crowd pleaser. He asks the road crew to turn the house lights up to “get a good look” at everyone in the crowd, has the cameramen pan to every single section of Hard Rock Stadium, and repeatedly thanks the audience for braving rain, traffic, and the impending buzzkill of a Tuesday morning to come out to his band’s concert.
Did you spend all of your money on a vacation getaway this summer? Perhaps that wasn’t the best idea because you already live in paradise. If that’s the case, though, you’ll probably want to scrounge up some more cash to catch some of the concerts coming to South Florida in the remaining four months of 2017.
He’s the greatest living rapper, but he’s never seemed more miserable.
The notion that Miami is dead in the summer certainly certainly doesn’t apply to this week. There’s everything from major concert tours to album-listening parties. For those who like to sing along with an arena-size crowd, don’t miss Coldplay at Hard Rock Stadium Monday…
