Feel that rumble? That's the roaring sound of tuneage sweeping its way through the city.

And while it may only be Tuesday, us music junkies here in SoFla are gonna scream and rage for this week's five best music events.

From Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami to LA's Cobalt Cranes at Propaganda in Lake Worth to Nova Scotia's Sarah McLachlan at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, check out the diverse coalition of artists in South Florida this week.

Biscuit Fest 4.
Satisfy your appetite for "buttery, savory, fragrant music" as Pink Floyd-the Talking Heads-Phish tribute act, Pink Talking Fish, NOLA bass legend, George Porter Jr., Louisiana soul junkies, the Nth Power, and the rest of the blues lovers at the Funky Biscuit take over the Boca party hall for the Biscuit Fest 4.

With Pink Talking Fish, George Porter Jr. & Friends, the Nth Power, Southern Hospitality, Albert Castiglia, and others. Thursday to Sunday, March 26 to 29. The Funky Biscuit, 303 SE Mizner Blvd., Boca Raton; 561-395-2929; funkybiscuit.com. Single-day tickets cost $20 to $40 plus fees, and general admission four-day passes cost $75 plus fees via funkybiscuit.com. Ages 21 and up.

Ultra Music Festival 2015.
Bring out your neon raver gear and show off your best bass face with Tiësto, Skrillex, David Guetta, and all the EDM superstars smack in the heart of downtown Miami for the 72-hour fist-pumpin' rager. Ultra brings some can't miss music moments to Miami each year, and if you're into that scene, it's worth hopping in the car and driving south.

With Tiësto, Avicii, Axwell ^ Ingrosso, Hardwell, Skrillex, Die Antwoord, David Guetta, and others. Friday to Sunday, March 27 to 29. Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-358-7550; bayfrontparkmiami.com. Tickets cost $299.95 to $449.95 plus fees via ultramusicfestival.com. Ages 18 and up.

Cobalt Cranes.
Lollipop Records' Cobalt Cranes love spending their Days In the Sun. That's why the LA psych-rock band is gonna bask in the bright Lake Worth sunshine before hitting up Propaganda for the night.

Days In the Sun National Tour with Sweet Bronco, Whorish Boorish, and Hypoluxo. Sponsored by Purehoney Magazine and Cheap Miami. Friday, March 27, 8 p.m. Propaganda, 6 S. J St., Lake Worth; 561-547-7273; propagandalw.com.

Nickelback.
Is Nickelback the worst band ever? Who knows. One of our writers recently tried to listen to every one of the band's songs in an effort to find out. But their universal hatred is what's made the Canadian rockers so popular. And since there's no escaping the bland rock of Chad Kroeger and the Nickelback crew, you might as well join 'em at the Coral Sky Amp.

No Fixed Address Tour with Pop Evil. Saturday, March 28, 7:30 p.m. Coral Sky Amphitheatre, 601-7 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach; 561-795-8883; cruzanamphitheatre.net. Tickets cost $19 to $74 plus fees via livenation.com.

An Evening with Sarah McLachlan.
Shine On with Sarah McLachlan and all the lyrical "Monsters" at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

A benefit for the Broward Center. Saturday, March 28, 8 p.m. Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW 5th Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-0222; browardcenter.org. Tickets cost $45 to $150 plus fees via ticketmaster.com.
