Miami Concerts and Live Music

Arenas and the Stadium

Kaseya Center sits on the bay at 601 Biscayne Boulevard and takes most of the arena tours that come through town. The biggest nights go north to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, where a canopy finished in 2016 shades the seats but not the field. Bad Bunny drew close to 98,000 people over two nights there in 2022, a good measure of how much Miami's Spanish speaking audience drives the calendar. Browse Latin shows to see it for yourself.

Theaters With History

• Adrienne Arsht Center has its own Metromover stop, which makes it one of the easiest rooms in town to reach without a car.
• The Fillmore Miami Beach is the old Jackie Gleason Theater. Gleason taped his television show in Miami Beach starting in 1964, and the hall took his name in 1987.
• Olympia Theater on Flagler Street opened in 1926. John Eberson designed the room to feel like a Spanish garden, and it was among the first air conditioned buildings in the South.
• Miami-Dade County Auditorium on West Flagler opened in 1951, staged Miami's first Spanish zarzuela in 1969 and programs shows in English, Spanish or both.

After Midnight

Electronic music has deep roots here. Club Space opened downtown in March 2000 during the city's spring music week, and its terrace crowd is known for dancing past sunrise. Ultra Music Festival began in 1999 and has spent most of its March weekends at Bayfront Park. Start with electronic shows if that is your lane.

Getting There

For Kaseya Center, the arena's own directions say to take Metrorail to Government Center, switch to the Metromover Omni Loop and get off at Park West, then walk east and cross Biscayne Boulevard. Several lots next to the arena have disappeared as downtown filled in, so book a flat rate lot within walking distance before you leave home.

Coming from Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach or Orlando? Brightline and Tri-Rail both pull into MiamiCentral, which connects to Government Center by a pedestrian bridge. From there the Metromover gets you to the arena.

Stadium nights in Miami Gardens are mostly a driving and rideshare affair. Leave early and expect a slow exit.

Weather and Timing

Summer is the wet season, roughly late May into mid October, and storms tend to build in the afternoon and evening. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and outdoor dates sometimes move when a storm threatens. Your ticket has the night's details, and the full calendar picks up anything rescheduled.
