Only the most organized music fans have their years of sound planned out already. For those of us who’ve left it a bit last-minute, do not worry. There’s still time to book an impromptu night in Miami to see some of the best live music being played in the 305.
We might just be recovering from Pitbull’s Miami show to open up the World Cup fan festival, but there’s plenty in July to look forward to in the world of concerts in Florida.

Shakira may have played a Hard Rock Live residency in December, but that won’t have stopped anyone from clambering for tickets on her return to these parts this summer. She’s got a pair of giant shows at the Kaseya Center as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour.

Ariana Grande is heading out on her first tour since 2019, with the Eternal Sunshine tour running through Sunrise for three dates (the first of which is in June) at the Amerant Bank Arena.
Steve Aoki

Ain’t no party like a Steve Aoki beach party. He’s getting behind the decks over the Independence Day weekend at LIV for a late-night party, filled with his anthems until the early hours.

Tame Impala’s live show needs no introductions, and Miami is being treated to two of them this month for the ‘Deadbeat’ World Tour. Kevin Parker will steam through tracks from his entire career at the Kaseya Center as he makes his return to the 305 for the first time in seven years.

‘The Fall Off’ tour has dates around the world pencilled in for this year, and July 14 marks Miami’s turn to see the rapper live. The last time J. Cole performed in the city (in 2021), he played the same venue, but it had a different time! Whether it’s the FTX Arena or the Kaseya Center, the show is certain to be just as electric.
Ne-Yo & Akon

Two giants of the 2000s have joined forces for a run of shows around the world. By attending a date on ‘Nights Like This’ tour, you’ll be treated to many a banger that’ll have the nostalgia coursing right through you, from Akon’s Right Now (Na Na Na) and Lonely to Ne-Yo’s Miss Independent and So Sick.
Cat Power

When Cat Power comes to town, there’s nowhere else to be. ZeyZey is the space this time around, hosting Cat Power’s first Miami gig in nearly four years, and she’s certain to be greeted with a Sea Of Love.
Louis Tomlinson

If you didn’t fancy the trip over to NYC to catch Harry Styles, you can see his former 1D bandmate take to the stage in Miami for a massive show this summer, following the release of his latest solo album, How Did I Get Here?

The Joker mask is coming back behind the decks in Miami, with Boris Brejcha clearly loving the 305 so much he’s returning after only playing here in March. This time, the German producer and DJ is headlining a night at Club Space, with a bill that runs from 11pm until the following afternoon, and also includes Layla Benitez, Adam Sellouk, 19:26, and Monoky. You can find out more information about the night here.
Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire

As matchups go, it doesn’t come much better than Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire. They’ll be taking their ‘Sing A Song All Night Long’ tour to Hard Rock Hollywood for a joining of true legends. It might not be in September, but it’s Easy to see how this has the potential to be one of the best nights of the entire year.
