Pentatonix, J. Cole, American Football, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, August 6 through August 12.

The band joins 3OH!3, Reel Big Fish, Pennywise, Simple Plan, and others at Coral Sky Amphitheatre this Sunday for the final scheduled Warped Tour date.

Dan Le Batard is a longtime Miami sports columnist, ESPN radio personality, and TV host. He started as a reporter with the Miami Herald in 1990. A University of Miami graduate, he earned stripes (and criticism) for his early-’90s reporting of the Hurricanes football scandals. Then, as the Herald declined, he started a radio and TV career…

In a few short days, Vans Warped Tour will wrap up a two-decade summer odyssey across America. The last day of the venerated festival is Sunday, August 5, and will be held at Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach.

Few names in indie rock (dare we say “emo”?) can evoke the same reaction as mentioning the Kinsella brothers. Mike, Tim, and Nate have all played in bands acknowledged as towering influences: Cap’n Jazz, Joan of Arc, Owen, and the often-gushed-about American Football. Even a cover of that band’s 1999 album…

Britney Spears’ fans are special. They don’t push or shove to get into their seats at the arena. They have no problem spending their life savings on overpriced tour T-shirts. They wait patiently in food lines that stretch well past the box office, and they come dressed like her in her “…Baby One More Time” music video…

Panic! at the Disco, Kesha with Macklemore, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, July 30 through August 5.

One day, you’re a young punk, body-surfing shirtless across a sweaty crowd of high schoolers. The next, you’re worrying about your own kid behaving like a little punk in his seventh-period history class. Life is impermanent and ever-changing. Time can temper and mold even the most hard-core into mortgage-having, child-rearing,…

Britney Spears invented pop music. No, she didn’t singlehandedly construct the genre, but she did a damn good job of bringing up-tempo melodies and hair flips to a multicultural audience in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her singles “…Baby One More Time,” “Toxic,” “Sometimes,” and “Crazy” topped charts…

“Rare. Very rare.” No, Counting Crows’ longtime frontman, Adam Duritz, isn’t talking about how he likes his steak. He’s appreciating his band’s time in the biz, which hits the quarter-century mark this year. To celebrate, the California-bred seven-piece is hitting the road with fellow multiplatinum rock band Live for the 25 Years and Counting tour.

Britney Spears, Janelle Monae and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, July 23 through July 29.

De La Ghetto, Sleeping With Sirens, Chicago with REO Speedwagon, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, July 16 through July 22.

It’s the classic “desert island” question: If you were stranded alone on a remote, tropical destination with only one album to keep you company, which would you choose? I’d never given the question much thought before last September, when news reports and mayors predicted  Hurricane Irma would be a “nuclear”…

Most fans headed out to see Sam Smith at the American Airlines Arena this weekend are likely unfamiliar with curly-haired, country-singing opening act Cam, but they probably know at least one of her songs by heart. Camaron Ochs, better known by her stage name, cowrote the penultimate track “Palace” on…

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp returns to its South Florida roots November 8 through 11 with Joe Perry and Jason Bonham.

Sam Smith, Three Doors Down, Collective Soul, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, July 9 through July 15.

There is a famous line from Kurt Vonnegut’s time-traveling World War II satire Slaughterhouse-Five, which reads, “Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt.” It’s an ironic sentiment the author believes to be the perfect epitaph for his gravestone. For both Vonnegut and humanity, this is of course untrue, and no one…

For the performers at last night’s Pompano Beach Amphitheater concert, the show was more than just an excuse to cash in on nostalgia for the decade of synths and big hair.

Echosmith, Grank Funk Railroad, Erasure, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, July 1 through July 8.
