Dragonette at Grand Central
It’s Friday night, and Canadian electronic band Dragonette is in town. They’re performing live at Grand Central tonight, which was just recently voted by Miami New Times as the Best Live Music Venue, so you know it’s going to be good. Usually when they come into town, it’s to do two or three songs at a club. But this time, fans are in for a treat with a full-on live show with the release of their recent album, Body Parts. The opening act is Nightbox and you can still get tickets here.

Capital Cities at Bardot
Another great live music act in store for Friday night is Capital Cities at Bardot. The indie pop band is returning for the first time since Ultra Music Festival in March to give an intimate show at the Midtown venue. Miami’s music enthusiasts are definitely not in a shortage of things to do this weekend, and are even faced with a bit of a dilemma. Either way, it’s bound to be a musically-inclined Friday night.
