New genre, same old mistakes.

Fans of Rüfüs Du Sol’s music know and love indie-dance and deep-house hits such as “Treat You Better,” “You Were Right,” “Sundream” and “Underwater,” which can be heard on such outlets as Sirius XM’s “Chill” radio station. But those who have yet to see the live show are in for…

No amount of pouring rain or scorching heat could keep about 130,000 party people away from this year’s SunFest in West Palm Beach, where fans flooded in for four days of music, booze and mud. But not everyone walked away unscathed.

Could one of these rappers be the next big thing?

Interpol is one of the hardest-working low-key bands on the indie scene. So it’s no surprise that when the trio completed its sixth album, Marauder, there was plenty of leftover material. Last August, the bandmates released Marauder, on which they collaborated with Flaming Lips and MGMT producer Dave Fridmann. Interpol guitarist and…

Four years ago, the inaugural Rolling Loud festival was a humble one-day event held in Wynwood. Schoolboy Q, riding high on the success of his Kendrick Lamar-featuring hit “Collard Greens,” headlined a bill that included Juicy J, Action Bronson, Curren$y, and a pre-Rodeo Travis Scott. That’s nothing to scoff at…

Talking to Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet, you’d never guess he was the bassist of the biggest young rock band to emerge in decades. The 20-year-old speaks humbly and philosophically about his success. That’s a feat for someone so young, especially after the band’s first full-length album…

“New Person, Same Old Mistakes” was covered by Rihanna, and he’s since collaborated with the likes of  Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson and Travis Scott — the kinds of artists I probably would have sneered at before I fell in love with Currents.

Remember those black-and-white parental advisory stickers? The music industry used to slap them on CDs to warn parents about explicit content. Well, you can thank Judas Priest for them — at least in part. Priest’s “Eat Me Alive,” along with songs by Prince, Def Leppard, Madonna, and the Disney-princess-like Sheena…

Past SunFest performers have included everyone from Blink 182 to Kendrick Lamar to Bob Dylan. Here are the five performers you need to see this year.

Imogen Heap knows what it’s like to be a successful musician and mentor to the world’s biggest pop stars even as she remains anonymous to entire swaths of the human population.

Brothers Richard (on vocals) and Tim Butler (on bass) were fascinated with the contrast between the primal edginess of punk and the smooth sophistication of art rock. So the band — which formed in the Butler family living room — melded these styles together, creating an attractive fusion of atmospheric rock splashed with waves of pop throughout its melodies and saxophone hooks.

Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Thomas Rhett, Flo Rida, and Sheryl Crow rocked a crowd of about 90,000 scantily clad country music fans in one of the biggest outdoor festivals in South Florida.

Entering its seventh year on the white sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, Tortuga Music Festival remains a unique and mostly positive option on South Florida’s steadily growing list of music fests. Known primarily for its bill of country music all-stars and earnest ocean conservation efforts, Tortuga has thrown…

There’s no need to wait for summer to get excited about concerts and festivals. In Miami, spring brings a whole new season of musical events to anticipate — and more hours of daylight to enjoy it all. Once the craziness of March’s spring-break invasion has worn off, you can really…

Though many of the ska-punk bands associated with skate/surf/punk subculture culture in the late 1990s and early 2000s have faded away, Less Than Jake is still here.

Brightline and Lyft’s “Electric Jungle” offers a convenient commuting option from West Palm and Broward to Miami Music Week at a time when transportation logistics are a concern for many Ultra attendees.

After almost a decade and a half, the organizers of Wanee Music Festival say they might be calling it quits on their extravaganza in North Florida. But fans of the annual event started by the Allman Brothers Band in 2005 need not mope: A new tradition (closer to home) will…

Since becoming the first band to sell out London’s new Wembley Stadium in June 2007, Muse has been crisscrossing the globe, bringing increasingly dazzling stage shows to arenas in cities from Tampa to Tokyo. The British rock trio’s past four albums — The Resistance (2009), The 2nd Law (2012), Drones…

These are the five best concerts in South Florida this week.
